Blue Diamond showcases almond protein powder at SupplySide West

Published: 12-Nov-2018

Groundbreaking new plant-based protein offers clean taste from a source consumers love: almonds

Blue Diamond Almonds Global Ingredients Division, the world’s foremost almond processor and supplier, is ramping up the excitement for its new almond protein powder with its first-ever presence at SupplySide West.

Almond Protein Powder is Blue Diamond’s latest innovation in plant-based ingredients and represents a new frontier in health and nutrition.

For manufacturers and formulators of functional foods and nutraceuticals, Blue Diamond Almond Protein Powder fills a genuine need for a better tasting and a more natural protein source and serves as an essential component of a protein ingredient blend.

The powder’s fine texture, smooth mouthfeel and neutral flavour make it an ideal ingredient for nutraceutical blends, protein smoothies, shakes and bars.

“We’re proud to offer a clean tasting, plant-based protein choice, and one from a recognised source such as almonds,” said Jeff Smith, Director of Marketing for Blue Diamond Global Ingredients Division.

“Almond Protein Powder is perfectly positioned to take advantage of consumers’ preference for natural, plant-based ingredients, while offering manufacturers more versatility in formulating clean label, protein-enhanced products.”

While other protein sources require masking agents to neutralise unwanted taste and flavours, Smith noted that Blue Diamond Almond Protein powder has a clean taste and an extra-fine texture smooth enough for any application.

“In fact, inclusion of Blue Diamond Almond Protein Powder as a part of a protein blend can assist with masking unwanted flavours resulting from other protein sources,” Smith said.

In addition to its preferable flavour and texture, Blue Diamond Almond Protein Powder is an excellent source of magnesium, phosphorous, manganese and copper, and a good source of fibre, potassium and calcium. The ingredient is also non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free, appealing to consumers of all dietary needs.
