1 Pea + oats; pea + almond + cashew; pea + almond (n = 2); soy + rice; pea + flax. 2 Rice + hazelnut; rice + coconut; oats + walnut; quinoa (n = 2); flax; hemp; walnut + almond + hazelnut. Serving size: 240 mL for USA; 250 mL for Australia and Europe. Kruskal–Wallis non-parametric test for independent samples with multiple pairwise comparisons were used to perform comparisons among regions. Different lowercase letters in the same column indicate significant differences among types of beverages, after Bonferroni adjustment for multiple comparisons. p < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.
