[Flax](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flax-oil-dressings), rice and hemp are all rich in Omegas, but rather than just making a non-dairy milk substitute from just one of these nutrient-rich ingredients, GoBeyond Foods uses all three.

By using its own Beyond Milk formula, GoBeyond created what it calls the a "fully functional" collection of [non-dairy milk beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-organic-plantbased-milk), as well as one of the most nutrient-dense on the market. The brand's Flax Hemp Milk line comes in three types: Original, [Unsweetened](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elmhurst-1925-unsweetened) and Vanilla. In some of the beverages, sweetness and flavor are enhanced with natural ingredients like vanilla extract, stevia, brown rice syrup and coconut sugar.

Now that there are a number of healthful milk substitutes on the market, superfood-based products like these are appealing to the masses, rather than just consumers with dairy intolerances or vegan lifestyles.
