Festive Non-Diary Drinks

The Trader Joe's Almond Nog is Rich, Creamy and Non-Traditional

Those who practice alternative diets that are free from dairy often find themselves having to forego consumption of classic products, especially around the holidays, so the Trader Joe's Almond Nog is here to offer a new option to add to your traditions.

The new drink from Trader's Joes is made using almond milk over traditional dairy ingredients to make it suitable for those who have an intolerance or who are avoiding it for other dietary reasons. The drink comes as a welcome new option for the holidays that will provide a tasty product that's just as sweet and creamy as the traditional egg nogs that are enjoyed during the holiday season.

As more consumers shift their eating habits towards restrictive diets, we'll likely see more products like the Trader Joe's Almond Nog coming about.
