Interview with Planut Goods, Plant Milks & Nut Butters Made Better for You & for the Planet

Finely milled nuts to create a super smooth paste that you simply add water to then blend for fresh plant milk in seconds. Products are made from 100% whole nuts for complete nutrition of a whole food. Store bough plant milk include unnecessary ingredients such as gums, fillers and emulsifiers. Planut pouches contain up to four litres of plant-based milk that is free from GMO ingredients and gluten, and is vegan and paleo friendly. Plant milks can be blended into your desired creaminess and is shelf stable for optimal use.

1. Welcome to the GBN family Planut Goods! Can you tell us a little bit about yourselves?

Thank you for welcoming us to the GBN family. At Planut Goods we make delicious plant-based products using as few ingredients as possible. From Plant Milk Concentrates, that you add to water and blend fresh, to better-for-you-Nut Butters.

 2. Can you take us through this new range and the catalyst behind your innovation?

Our Milk Bases and Nut Butters utilise a proprietary milling process to achieve an extra smooth and creamy mouth feel. Our new range of Planut Milk Bases come in Almond, Oat and our Barista blend of Almonds, Cashews and Hazelnuts. We created Planut Milk Bases because most ready to drink cartons of Plant Milk contain gums, emulsifiers and fillers, in place of nuts and plants. We wanted to empower people to create fresh plant milk from pure ingredients. Our Milk Bases are shelf stable and only require refrigeration after the fresh milk has been made. This allows people to keep a range of Milk Bases in the pantry and blend fresh as much or as little plant milk as they’d like per use. We also give people the flexibility to dial up and down the creaminess, by adjusting how much Base they add.

Our range of Nut butters includes Chocolate Peanut Butter, Crunchy Peanut Butter, Smooth Peanut Butter, and Roasted Almond Butter. We have developed our range using the highest quality ingredients and sweetened them with whole dates instead of refined sugars.

3. How does Planut Milk and Peanut Butter differ to others on the market?

For starters, Planut Milk Bases allow people to make fresh and pure plant milk in seconds, from the comfort of their home kitchen. The flexible squeeze pouch of both our Milk Bases and Nut Butters, also provides people with the added freedom of taking their favourite products with them on the go.

4. Do you have a favourite in the range?

That’s like asking a parent to pick a favourite child. That’s tough to do. We love all our products because they’re deliciously unique. However, we must say we love our Barista Base for its hazelnut notes that compliment a coffee perfectly.

5. What has been the biggest challenge in creating this brand?

We spent a lot of time experimenting with different ingredients and formulations to create products that are both delicious and healthy. Using only whole nuts and pure plants in our Planut Milk Bases demanded we use the freshest ingredients, milled precisely to our desired consistency. It took 2 years to develop but we nailed it.

6. What does ‘wellness’ mean to you and how do you adopt it in your everyday routine?

To us, wellness is both being healthy and having fun. We believe you can have both and our products are a testament to great taste and health. It’s a balance in life. Here at Planut Goods we practise daily wellness by always adopting a positive mindset, nourishing our bodies with nutritious foods… and sipping on our morning Planut latte.
