Finnish startup Solar Foods' novel alternative protein, Solein, is now on the menu of a restaurant in Singapore where it's been blended into a custom (vegan) chocolate gelato.

    Why do I want protein in my ice cream?
    Why are they talking about it like it’s normal and I should know what protein in ice cream does?
    I’ve never heard protein mentioned in the context of ice cream, vegan or not.

      My guess is they’re trying to provide a substitute for yogurt or frozen yogurt for people who are transitioning.

      Protein is difficult to get when cutting meat out of your diet. There aren’t many options. This is a new option. It does the same thing as protein in other foods does. What’s the problem with having protein in chocolate gelato form?

      Ice cream does have protein btw, as do most foods.
