What are plant-based beverages?

Also known as “plant-based milk” or “plant milk,” plant-based beverages are manufactured by extracting plant material, such as seeds or grain, in water. They are often used as replacements for dairy milk. However, from the nutritive perspective, dairy milk and plant-based beverages are different types of food. Plant-based beverages:

• Can be highly processed foods.
• Often have added synthetic vitamins and minerals, similar to fortified milk.
• Vary widely in their nutritional composition.
• Often have added preservatives and gums, including the inflammatory emulsifier, carrageenan.
• The majority of plant-based beverages are conventional, not organic.

Plant-based beverage sales and marketing Sales of plant-based beverages have skyrocketed since 2010. By 2016, that number had increased substantially; more than one-third of U.S. households had purchased these products, totaling $1.5 billion in sales that year. Large food manufacturers have chosen to invest in expensive marketing campaigns, many of which are designed to target people born between the 1980s and the early 2000s. Their persistent advertising has proven effective, as millennials and Generation Z comprise the largest segment of consumers choosing plant-based beverages. This marketing may specifically appeal to these generations based on the higher reported level of allergies and food sensitivities. Younger generations are also more likely to identify as mostly vegan or vegetarian than previous generations.
