Drink Dairy-free Chai Coffee, Anytime, Anywhere - Thanks to Plant Yum!

8th January, 2024

Imagine this: You are early for a client meeting at their office. You need to feel refreshed before it begins but there is no plant-based milk in the canteen. What do you do?

Or this: You are traveling with your friends, the sun is coming down, and you're craving a hot and delicious masala chai. What do you do?

The biggest challenge for people wanting to switch to a plant-based diet is cup-sized - meaning, it boils down to their daily cup of chai or coffee. Commute and travel also become difficult because it is hard to find plant-based ingredients everywhere. When Shalu Nijhawan faced this issue during her own plant-based journey, she wanted to make it easier for others to transition by providing tasty, healthy, and accessible alternatives.

While coaching others to switch to a vegan diet, she would often hear complaints regarding the taste of vegan versions of beverages. "People were willing to quit everything non-vegan but not their chai or coffee, which invariably would involve dairy," says Shalu Nijhawan, Founder, Plant Yum. This inspired her to formulate a recipe which closely resembles the familiar taste of tea and coffee. Thus, she launched Plant Yum with a wide array of (Nut and soy-free) Tea and Coffee premixes which can be carried anywhere and prepared anytime!

Plant Yum offers tea premixes, coffee premix, and strawberry mylkshake premix - all of which are entirely plant-based and suited for health-conscious consumers. Let's take a look:

1. Tea Premixes (4 flavours)

The Plant Yum Tea Premix is a quick and easy way to make the perfect cup. The premix pack contains the richness of rice creamer and coconut milk powder and the scintillating flavours of ground spices and tea. The teas are dairy-free, soy-free, nut-free, cholesterol-free, trans fat free, preservative-free, and lactose-free - making them a gut-friendly choice. The assorted packs have all 4 flavours - Cardamom, Fennel, Ginger, and Masala tea, while the Super Saver bulk can be ordered in a single flavour of your liking. You can also customise your assortment, for example, you can pick and choose 3 out of 4 flavours and create a bundle that suits your tastebuds...or purchase 6 sachets of your favourite flavour here.

3. Strawberry Mylkshake Premix

Plant Yum has recently introduced Instant Strawberry Mylkshake premix! Unlike tea and coffee which are needed for refreshment, a strawberry milkshake is most missed on hot days when you're craving a sweet, creamy, and cold beverage. One sachet of Plant Yum's premix makes a perfectly thick and frothy glass of strawberry mylkshake for the times you don't have access to plant-based milk. It’s a kids' favourite and available in a 250gm pack which makes 5 servings.

How to prepare: Blend 50 gm of premix with 150ml of chilled water in a blender and enjoy!

This is not all.

Plant Yum has big plans for the future!

Plant Yum recently started delivering their ready-to-drink tea and coffee via Zomato and Swiggy in Bangalore which will capture the yumness and goodness of plants. They are also participating in Veganuary 2024 by encouraging more people to switch to a vegan diet with help from Plant Yum's offerings. Lastly, they will soon launch a hot chocolate premix, the most awaited sugar-free premix range, an herbal tea range, and a new line of vegan alternatives.
