As plant-based innovation takes center stage in the health-conscious food industry, GPI is proud to spotlight V-Egg 100, a versatile plant-based egg alternative that’s changing the game for product developers across categories. One exciting application? A delicious gluten-free, high-protein, high-fiber pasta recipe — formulated with V-Egg 100 — that aligns with today’s biggest dietary and wellness trends.
Click here to see how V-Egg 100 was used to create high protein, high fiber, gluten-free pasta formulation.
V-Egg 100 is a 100% plant-based, allergen-free egg alternative that delivers on both functionality. Designed to bind, and retain moisture—just like whole eggs—it provides unmatched performance in baked goods, savory items, and now, pasta.
Food developers are increasingly turning to Egg alternatives to:
Improve cost efficiency in baked goods
Support vegan, and allergen-free product development
Mitigate supply and pricing risks
But the innovation doesn’t stop at formulation—V-Egg 100 is also uniquely positioned to support current consumer health needs, especially in the age of GLP-1 medications.
With the rapid rise in use of GLP-1 receptor agonists like Ozempic and Wegovy for weight loss and metabolic health, there’s a new spotlight on the importance of muscle preservation. While these medications help reduce body weight, studies have shown they may also result in loss of lean muscle mass—up to 40% of the total weight lost.
That’s where high-protein diets come in.
Nutritionists and health professionals now emphasize the critical role of dietary protein during GLP-1 therapy. A well-balanced, high-protein diet can help mitigate muscle loss, support satiety, and improve overall outcomes.
To demonstrate the power and versatility of V-Egg 100, GPI developed an innovative pasta recipe that checks all the boxes:
✅ Gluten-free
✅ High in protein
✅ Rich in fiber
✅ Plant-based
✅ Deliciously satisfying
By using V-Egg 100 to bind a custom blend of flours and plant proteins, this pasta offers the perfect solution for consumers seeking nutrient-dense meals that align with their wellness goals—especially those managing their diet around GLP-1 medications or other health concerns.
The demand for functional foods that support muscle maintenance, gut health, and weight management has never been higher. According to industry data, searches for “high protein,” “GLP-1 diet,” and “gluten-free pasta” are trending upward as shoppers seek meals that match their lifestyles.
With V-Egg 100, GPI is empowering food brands to meet this demand with confidence. Whether you're developing a new CPG product, scaling a foodservice menu, or experimenting with high-protein recipe concepts, V-Egg 100 delivers performance, simplicity, and clean-label appeal.

Each product is crafted to meet the needs of today's evolving food landscape—delivering sustainability, functionality, and versatility without compromise.
