Tempting Malaysians’ Tastebuds with Nestlé’s Plant-Based Goodness

More and more Malaysians are turning to plant-based milks as an alternative to dairy especially when they have allergies or intolerances. In a move to cater to evolving dietary preferences, Nestlé GOODNES is showing how its plant-protein beverages are hitting just the right spot with its delicious offerings.

Introduced recently by Nestlé Malaysia as part of its commitment to make more affordable plant-based food and beverages readily available to all Malaysians, the Halal-certified and vegan-friendly Nestlé GOODNES range ticks all the boxes for a delicious tasting plant-protein beverage. Harnessing the health benefits of almonds and oats, the Nestlé GOODNES beverages are lactose free, making them ideal for the increasingly flexitarian diets of consumers.

Mr. Juan Aranols, Chief Executive Officer of Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad, said, “Plant-protein based beverages are giving health-conscious consumers and those with dietary constraints a wonderful alternative to dairy milk, particularly when they are also appealing to the palate. We have been steadily expanding our offerings with the needs of Malaysians in mind, and with Nestlé GOODNES, people have more choices at their fingertips. What’s more, proper nutrition is vital for Muslims who are fasting during Ramadan, with plant protein-based beverages and food providing more variety and balance in meals.”

The range comes in two velvety smooth flavours - Dairy-Free Oat and Dairy-Free Almond & Oat, made in Malaysia with oats and almonds. At the heart of Nestlé GOODNES is its natural sweetness derived from hydrolysed oats, without any added sugars (sucrose). This unique formulation is packed with the wholesome goodness of micronutrients like calcium and vitamin D which aids in the development of strong bones, and vitamins B2 and B3, to help with energy release from the food we eat.

Panasonic’s unique nanoe™ technology draws moisture from the air to create tiny, moisture-rich particles that are small enough to penetrate the shafts of your hair. It suppresses static electricity, meaning rogue flyaways are a thing of the past, with hair left smooth, more manageable, less frizz, and improved shine.

Whereas traditional hair dryers can leave hair feeling dry and brittle, the new nanocare Hair Dryer EH-NA0J uses Panasonic’s innovative new nanoe™ MOISTURE+ and Mineral technology, which delivers 18x* more moisture compared to previous nanocare models. This means it locks in hydration to reduce hair dryness, so there’s no need to put up with dull, faded hair. What’s more, it protects hair colour from fading** and helps to keep your hair colour vibrant, ensuring that your locks look salon-fresh for longer.
