The descriptor “plant-based” is popular these days and has done a great job with changing the narrative surrounding animal-free foods.
Plant-based foods are nutritious, protein-packed, and often quite tasty. Plant-based dairy products are having a moment right now because the messaging isn’t about leaving animals out, it’s about being able to indulge without guilt. If you’re on a plant-based diet or dairy doesn’t agree with you, you can have your kefir, milk, cheese, even your ice cream, dairy-free. Following are some new, plant-based dairy products on store shelves today.
