Lavva makes plant-based yogurt alternatives and it sets itself apart by using pili nuts in its products, and now the brand is introducing Lavva Plant Milks as its first foray into non-dairy beverages. The plant-based milk alternatives are available in ultra-simple varieties like the Unsweetened Plant Milk, which is made with just wild-harvested Pili nuts with coconut water and filtered water. There's also the Chocolate Lavva Plant Milk, which offers a cleaner take on a childhood favorite drink with a rich combination of ingredients like fair trade cocoa, dates for sweetness, adaptogenic maca root, low glycemic mesquite powder and Himalayan salt.
Unlike many plant-based milk alternatives on the market, these ones are free from added sugar, oils, emulsifiers or gums.
