Plant-based beverages: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a range of beverages made from plant sources, including herbal infusions, fruit-based drinks, and plant milks. Herbal infusions, such as peppermint or fruit teas, are typically made by steeping dried leaves, flowers, or fruits in hot water. Fruit-based drinks may be made from concentrate or be a blend of fruit juices. Plant milks are derived from ingredients like oats, soy, almonds, or rice. The ingredient list for these products will show the primary plant source. For sweetened beverages, the ingredient list will also indicate added sugars, often listed as 'sugars' or by specific types like glucose syrup or sucrose. The nutrition label typically provides information on energy content, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, and salt per serving. Some plant-based beverages may also be a source of fibre, which would be declared on the nutrition label if present in significant amounts. The NHS Eatwell Guide advises that free sugars should not exceed 5% of total dietary energy. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
