Daiya Debuts Greek Yogurt Alternative
January 1, 2018
Daiya is expanding its line of plant-based offerings to include a Greek Yogurt Alternative. The Greek Yogurt Alternative boas eight-grams of protein and is available in four delicious flavors, including peach, strawberry, black cherry and blueberry. "Since hitting grocery shelves nearly six weeks ago, sales are significantly exceeding our expectations," says Michael Lynch, Daiya vice president of marketing. "This is a strong testament to the growing demand for plant-based options and also demonstrates we're meeting a real consumer need." Made from a signature blend featuring coconut and pea protein, the smooth and creamy Greek Yogurt Alternative is bursting with real fruit. Health-minded individuals or people on the go can enjoy it as a standalone meal or snack, or as a complement to a favorite recipe, from parfaits to smoothies, say company officials. "Daiya prides itself in offering better-for-you versions of the everyday foods people love to eat," adds Lynch. "Whenever we go into the test kitchen, our goal is to enable people to enjoy the wonderful experience of dairy without any compromise. This rich and creamy Greek Yogurt Alternative delivers the taste and texture of traditional yogurt, along with better nutrition that today's mindful consumers crave." With that in mind, Daiya offers a gluten-free Blueberry Pancake Recipe: Ingredients
¼ cup Daiya Blueberry Greek Yogurt Alternative
½ cup gluten-free rolled oats
½ tsp. baking powder
½ ripe medium-sized banana
6 Tbsp. egg white alternative
1-2 Tbsp. almond milk (add more depending on thickness of batter)
½ tsp. vanilla extract
Directions:
Coat skillet with light layer of olive oil and preheat over medium heat.
Blend all ingredients until oats are fully broken down and batter is smooth and frothy; let batter sit and thicken for a few minutes.
Pour batter onto skillet until desired size of pancakes is reached and cook about 5 minutes, flipping halfway, until bubbles begin to form on the tops of the pancakes.
Add your favorite topping.
Daiya's Greek Yogurt Alternative has a suggested retail price of $1.99. It is the latest addition to the company's existing dairy, gluten, and soy-free food lineup, including the first-ever deluxe dairy-, gluten- and soy-free Cheezy Mac, scrumptious Cheezecakes, and artisanal pizzas, as well as a core line of dairy-free Shreds, Blocks, Slices and Cream Cheese Style Spreads.
