Consumers who practice a vegan lifestyle often find it difficult to locate suitable alternatives to common food products and varieties, which is being changed by new products like the Gato & Co pudding pots. Relaunched by the brand with an all-new vegan profile, the puddings are made with chickpea water instead of eggs, courgette instead of butter and ground almonds in place of flour. The puddings come in three flavor options including Coconut Brownie, Hot Chocolate and Hot Sticky Toffee to address the most popular desserts in the UK that are often made with dairy ingredients.
The Gato & Co pudding pots were explained by Co-Founder Kim Lamza, who said, "We’ve been working hard behind the scenes for the past year to make our range fully vegan, so everyone can enjoy our indulgent and healthier puds. We’ve been dying to launch vegan products since Gato first launched but it’s taken us a year to perfect the right taste and texture – we are so excited to share them in Veganuary 2019."
