Trader Joe’s Organic Creamy Cashew Cultured Yogurt Alternatives are dairy-free and made with a simple ingredient list of organic cashews, filtered water, cane sugar for a hint of sweetness, rich coconut cream and tapioca starch, plus organic lemon juice for tanginess. The single-serve plant-based yogurt alternatives are being introduced to consumers in Vanilla Bean and Strawberry flavors, the latter of which is tinted with vegetable juice to enhance its natural color.
Both of these non-dairy yogurts are enriched with six live and active probiotics to offer similar benefits to the body as conventional dairy products.
Alongside dairy-free yogurt alternatives made with soy, almond and coconut, a number of dairy and non-dairy brands are now also experimenting with introducing flavorful new products with nut- and seed-based formulas.
