Canadian brand Daiya has released a range of dairy-free yogurt alternative cups, made with coconut cream and containing 6g of protein per serving.
Blended with real fruit pieces, the range is available in six varieties: strawberry, peach, blueberry, black cherry, vanilla bean, and plain.
According to a recent survey of 1,000 adults conducted by Daiya, 63% of respondents said they eat yogurt because they believe it promotes good health, while 44% are open to non-dairy yogurt alternatives.
The yogurt alternative cup range is said to be a good source of calcium, vitamin B12 and vitamin D.
Daiya interim CEO Michael Lynch said: “Consumers are making more mindful choices when it comes to food and we know that sugar reduction is a top priority for them. We found that the majority of fruit-based dairy-free yogurts had an average of 17g of sugar per serving.
“We wanted our reformulated line of yogurt alternatives to be a delicious tasting option for those looking to make an easy shift. Not only are Daiya’s new yogurt cups both delicious and allergy friendly, the fruit flavours offer just 9g of sugar per serving – sweetened from real fruit pieces and all-natural sugar cane.”
Vancouver-headquartered Daiya sells a range of dairy-free cheeses, pizzas, salad dressings and dessert bars. The new yogurt alternative line is now available in retail stores across North America.
