Sproud “milk” is a unique alternative to cow’s milk. It is a 100% plant-based product, made as a drink based on yellow peas, which successfully imitates cow’s milk in both texture and properties. The product was developed by a Swedish brand in 2018 and has been steadily gaining popularity, mainly thanks to its unique qualities such as its appealing taste and excellent consistency, which froths easily. This brand’s plant-based drink is produced using sustainable methods and has a very good ingredient composition.

What makes Sproud “milk” stand out and why is it worth choosing?
Sproud “milk” is the first plant-based drink in Europe made from yellow peas. In the online store of our roastery, JAVA Coffee Roasters, you will find the full product line — in classic, vanilla, chocolate, and unsweetened versions.
Sproud is a Swedish brand based in Malmö — a city famous for its progressive approach, clearly reflected in its focus on sustainable living, health, and food. The name Sproud refers to the phrase “Swedish and proud” (s-proud) and at the same time relates to the sprouting and growth process of the peas used to produce the brand’s plant-based drinks (sprouts in English means young shoots).
Unique properties
The proposed plant-based drink is above all a source of valuable protein obtained from dry yellow peas. The advantage of this raw ingredient is not only its high nutritional value, but also the relatively low environmental footprint left by its cultivation. The choice of yellow peas is not accidental. The young entrepreneurs behind the Swedish company set themselves the goal of delivering products to the market that are healthy yet do not threaten the natural environment.
Sproud plant-based drinks contain up to 35% fewer calories compared with semi-skimmed cow’s milk, as well as 60% less sugar. It is also worth noting that they contain an amount of calcium similar to that found in cow’s milk. Products in this group are fully vegan and contain no lactose, soy, gluten, GMOs, or other allergens, which makes them an ideal solution not only for people who care about their food choices, but also for those with food intolerances and allergies.
Exceptional taste and valuable ingredients
Compared with other similar products, yellow pea-based drinks are closer to cow’s milk in terms of consistency. Not only do they froth perfectly, but they also offer exceptional taste qualities while remaining very delicate, which means they do not overpower the flavor of coffee.
In addition to their high content of plant protein and large amount of calcium, these drinks from the Swedish brand also contain other valuable nutrients. The products offered in our online store are enriched with riboflavin, vitamin D, and vitamin B12, which are especially important for daily supplementation in dairy-free, vegetarian, and vegan diets.
Sproud drinks are also free from synthetic additives such as artificial flavor enhancers or aroma agents. All of their ingredients come from organic farming carried out without chemical solvents. In our store, you will also find many varieties of coffee that pair perfectly with this vegan milk alternative.
What can Sproud yellow pea “milk” be used for?
Sproud yellow pea “milk” has an exceptionally wide range of uses. It works perfectly as an addition to coffee, successfully replacing traditional dairy products.
In our offer, you will find Sproud both in the classic version and the barista version — ideal for frothing and creating a creamy texture that pairs beautifully with coffee, including drinks such as latte macchiato.
Sproud products available at JAVA Coffee are created primarily for coffee lovers preparing drinks at home, but they will also be appreciated by professionals.
Versatile uses
The low carbohydrate content means that Sproud products can become a regular part of a ketogenic and low-calorie diet. This plant-based drink does not contain added sucrose, yet naturally occurring sugars give it a noticeable sweetness. Its flavor qualities are further enhanced by natural aromas and extracts, which intensify the pleasant experience regardless of how it is used. Thanks to this, the yellow pea-based drink works perfectly not only as an addition to coffee. You can also successfully use it as an ingredient in muesli, porridge, cakes, shakes, or smoothies. The products we offer also pair perfectly with tea, as confirmed, among other things, by the recommendation of the UK Tea Association.
