Nutritionally, it's a low-calorie source of plant protein and is often enriched to match the vitamin profile of cow's milk.

⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The added sugar (3.65g per 100g) can contribute to blood sugar spikes if consumed in large quantities, and soy is a common allergen. To mitigate sugar impact, pair it with a source of protein or healthy fat (like nuts or oats) and practice portion control. For those with soy allergies, this product must be avoided entirely.
