At Forager Project, we are passionate about crafting plant-based products that deliver creaminess, flavor, and gut benefits without dairy. We’re always working to make our cashewmilk yogurt healthier without sacrificing taste and quality. At the heart of our innovation, lies a steadfast commitment to sustainable eating. As we explore new ingredients and perfect our recipes, our goal remains clear: to offer healthful food that benefits both you and our planet. Ultimately, our mission is to provide you with a plant-based yogurt that not only delights your taste buds but also prioritizes the well-being of our world.
Since the start of our food journey, we’ve been committed to perfecting our ingredients, especially the probiotics that make our yogurt so special. Over the last two years, we conducted extensive research and trials to refine how we culture cashews for our dairy-free yogurt. Now, we’re excited to introduce a new generation of cultures. Paired with cashews, these carefully selected cultures create a better environment, resulting in a smoother, cleaner, and more delicious probiotic cashewmilk yogurt. Plus, they are excellent for supporting your gut health. This innovation reflects our dedication to always improving and delivering the best to you.
When it comes to ingredients, we believe less is more. We’ve streamlined our recipe to deliver a yogurt that is tastier and more nutritious. Ingredients such as guar gum, pectin, and tapioca starch, once used as thickeners and stabilizers, have been intentionally removed from our recipe. Our aim is to provide a cleaner product with a focus on real, wholesome ingredients, adhering to a simplified approach for better taste and nutrition.
Do you love sweets, but are trying to be conscious about your sugar intake? We get it. Reducing added sugars without sacrificing taste has been a key focus of our mission. We recognize the implications associated with high sugar intake and we’re committed to helping you lead a healthier life. Our upgraded Cashewmilk Yogurt now offers 2 to 3 grams less sugar than before, making them a smarter choice for those seeking a sweet treat. By making this change, we aim to help you lower your overall sugar consumption, improving metabolic health and reducing the risk of associated complications. (Source)
Opting for cashews as the heart of our recipes isn’t just about flavor and creaminess (though those are pretty important, too!) – it’s a thoughtful choice that looks out for both your well-being and our planet. Cashews are an excellent source of healthy fats and also provide essential vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, and selenium. (Source). In recipes, cashews provide a creamy texture that sets us apart from many dairy-free yogurt alternatives. This choice reflects our commitment to crafting a plant-based yogurt that not only excels in taste but also aligns with health-conscious choices.
Cashews are rich in unsaturated fats (aka “good fats”) which are associated with a lower risk of premature death and heart disease (Source). By making cashews our base, we provide a dairy-free yogurt option that offers mostly healthy fats, in contrast to coconut-based alternatives, which may contribute up to 75% of the daily value for saturated fat in a single serving. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends individuals consume no more than 13 grams of saturated fat per day (Source). Some coconut-based yogurts contain 15 grams of saturated fat in only one serving – yikes! Opting for cashews allows us to give you a lower saturated fat option without compromising the creamy texture you love.
Our commitment to organic ingredients and practices is rooted in the understanding that organic choices are better for the planet. Cashews, our superstar ingredient, is no different. Plus, going for dairy-free options is a big win for the environment. Cow’s milk has a much larger impact in every way compared to plant-based alternatives. It releases about three times more greenhouse gases, needs around 10 times more land, uses 2 to 20 more freshwater, and causes much higher levels of water pollution. (Source)
