Unsweetened Almond Breeze
Almond Breeze offers creamy non-dairy beverages in several flavors that can please even the pickiest palates. Now, those same great flavors are available to those looking to avoid excessive sugar content. Almond Breeze Unsweetened makes it possible to enjoy the taste and benefits of nut milks in Original, Vanilla, and Chocolate varieties without compromising a commitment to keep your diet low in sugar.

Wholesoy Soy Spread
When WholeSoy & Co. wanted to create their new Certified Organic Cream Cheese Style Soy Spread, the company selected a gourmet cheese chef to spearhead its development. This master’s expertise definitely shows, and the result is even creamier than many dairy spreads made for crackers and bagels. The Garlic & Herb variety with organic chives is indescribably delicious, and the Original has a flavor that eclipses the Garlic & Herb’s, if you can believe it.
