The products include the Nature's Garden Oat Milk Chocolate Covered Strawberry Almonds and the Nature's Garden Probiotic Strawberry Yoggies. Each of the products come in pouches for easy portioning and resealing, and feature a range of benefits for consumers to enjoy aside from delicious taste. This includes a 100% plant-based and vegan recipe for the Strawberry Almonds, while the Strawberry Yoggies have three-grams of fiber and two-billion live probiotic cultures per serving.

This technology helps to create innovative snacks and epitomize better-for-you indulgence. Manufacturing via the panning process, utilizing recyclable packaging, and incorporating dairy-free alternatives all helps to reduce our carbon footprint, which is the current mission of our growing company."
