Meet ATURA Proteins at IFE 2026, London Excel

Date: 30th March- 1st April 2026
Location: London Excel
Stand: N457

ATURA Proteins is returning to IFE 2026 with a clear focus: showing how pulse proteins are shaping the next wave of high-protein, functional food innovation.

This year, we’re not just talking about ingredients – we’re bringing fully developed product concepts to life on our stand, alongside a live ingredient application at the Ingredients Table.

The market is shifting – fast

Food innovation is being driven by a new set of consumer priorities:

  • High protein is now expected, not premium
  • Functional nutrition is becoming everyday
  • Consumers are prioritising satiety, energy balance, and nutrient density

 

The rise of GLP-1 medications is changing how people eat, with demand shifting toward:

  • Smaller, more satisfying portions
  • Higher protein, lower sugar formats
  • Foods that deliver more in less volume

This is forcing brands to rethink NPD – moving away from empty calories and toward products that genuinely perform.

What we’re showcasing on our stand

We’re bringing three product concepts designed to directly reflect these trends – not theory, but real, scalable applications.

Protein Coffee

A high-protein take on a daily ritual.

  • ~21g protein per serving
  • Clean flavour profile with no off-notes
  • Combines chickpea and fava protein for balanced functionality

This concept shows how protein can be seamlessly integrated into habit-based consumption, unlocking new opportunities in RTD and powder formats.

Chocolate Orange Protein Balls (GLP-1 Friendly)

A direct response to changing eating behaviours

  • Designed for portion-controlled, high-satiety snacking
  • Source of protein and fibre
  • Added functional benefits including B vitamins and calcium

These aren’t just “protein snacks” – they are built around GLP-1-led consumption trends, where consumers want smaller, more nutritionally efficient products that still feel indulgent.

Garlic & Herb Protein Cream Cheese

A familiar format, reworked for modern nutrition

  • Smooth, creamy mouthfeel
  • Incorporates chickpea protein and fava bean flour
  • Designed for versatility across retail and foodservice

This demonstrates how protein can be added into everyday staples, not just specialist products – a key shift in the category

 

Live at the Ingredients Table!

 

Strawberries & Cream Protein Shake

Alongside our stand, we’ll be showcasing a Strawberries & Cream protein shake at the Ingredients Table.

  • 30g serving delivers ~23g protein
  • Smooth, clean taste with no off notes

This is a clear demonstration of how ATURA proteins perform in beverage systems, delivering texture, flavour compatibility, and strong nutritional value.

 

Come and see it in action

Our team will be on hand to walk through:

  • The thinking behind each concept
  • Formulation and application insights
  • How these ideas can translate into your pipeline

If you’re working on high-protein, functional, or next-gen food products, this is worth seeing in person
