WHO: WhatIF Foods, is a planet-positive food and beverage brand known for their mission to go beyond sustainability and focus on REgeneration. WhatIF Foods believes that the current sustainability efforts don’t go far or fast enough to meaningfully address the climate crisis facing all of us. They advocate that the urgent need of the hour is to heal what is damaged and to replenish what’s been lost, in other words to REgenerate.
WHAT: Planet-positive and regenerative food brand, WhatIF Foods, is set to make its portfolio of products more accessible to New Yorkers. Their innovative use of the Bambara Groundnut aka BamNut, a regenerative legume with land-healing and carbon sequestering capabilities, has been central to achieving their mission of creating nutritious food, repairing damaged lands and boosting incomes for farmers. The brand will launch its products in over 100 retailers, providing New Yorkers easy access to its highly nutritious and delicious noodles and the newest, awesome-tasting plant milk on the block made from the planet-healing BamNut.
WhatIF’s BamNut Milk is made with just 3 natural ingredients and fortified with vitamins & minerals; its free of any gums, stabilizers and added sugar or sweeteners. It is as creamy and frothy as oat milk (without the gums!), as high in protein as soy milk (without the negative soy connotations), and as neutral tasting as almond milk (without the high water use), removing customers’ need to compromise.. Consumers can enjoy this amazing products in 3 varieties: Barista for the coffee lover- add straight or enjoy as a wonderful, foamy latte, Everyday which is a versatile and well-rounded milk for your daily milk needs and Airy, the low calorie version with all the taste but only 80 calories.
Their noodles come in 4 great tasting offers that are not just delicious but also good for you. Each portion contains protein equivalent to 2 boiled eggs, they air fry their noodles, making them 60% lower in fat than typical ramen, and are completely free of palm oil. Due to the addition of BamNut flour in their noodles, they are loaded with fiber and other nutrients that not only make them healthier, but also make you feel more full for longer.
