Organic coconut-based beverage creator Harmless Harvest is expanding its offerings with an all-new collection of plant-based coconut yogurt alternative products that includes snack drinks and dairy-free snack cups. With this collection, the brand will not just be satisfying the demand for plant-based alternatives but as CEO Ben Mand describes, "Harmless Harvest will use the entire coconut for both its water and yogurt alternative, further living its brand promise to always consider its impact from seed to shelf."
Coconut meat's creamy taste and texture makes a great substitute for dairy, especially as no gums and thickeners are needed to create a yogurt-like product. Harmless Harvest's Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative collection contains Dairy-Free Yogurt Drinks that blend coconut water, Thai coconut meat and live probiotic cultures, as well as Dairy-Free Coconut Yogurt Alternative Cups.
