The Honest Stand sets itself apart by reinventing some of the most classic kinds of snack and nacho dips with entirely plant-based ingredients. The brand produces two kinds of nacho dips—one mild and one spicy—that are made with a base of water, potatoes and cashew nuts. On top of this, the dairy-free formulas are packed with ingredients like carrots, onions and tomatoes, plus peppers and spices for added heat.
Some of the other dips produced by The Honest Stand include a Garlic Parm Style Dip, a Cheddar Style Dip and a Smoked Cheddar Style Dip, all of which emulate the taste and texture of cheese without the inclusion of dairy.
While many consumers choose to reduce or eliminate meat, dairy and other animal products from their diet for health, ethical or environmental reasons, many consumers are now being tempted to try innovative plant-based products for their novel flavors.
