The secret? WUNDA’s secret recipe uses a game-changing hero ingredient, the humble yellow split pea

WUNDAFUL TASTE
All-too-often, plant-based milk alternatives disappoint consumers when it comes to taste and texture, but the power of pea protein and innovation behind Wunda’s secret recipe, is its light, mild and delicate taste, which sets it apart.
Thanks to its velvety creaminess and delicate taste, it’s a versatile, pantry must-have, which is primed to drink straight from the carton, pour over cereal, and use in baking and cooking. And, as its nutritionally balanced, it’s perfect for mixing into shakes and smoothies.
