Dairy-free has come a long way, baby. Daiya’s new dairy- and soy-free version (it’s coconut based) of Greek yogurt comes in fun flavors like strawberry, peach, vanilla and blueberry, delivers a creamy texture and 6 grams of plant-based protein in a serving.

Let’s give a collective sigh for these adorable little crackers. They’re organic, gluten-free and a fun treat to gobble on the school yard.

OK, maybe more of a treat than a snack, but when you’re dairy-free, milk chocolate is off the table. This tasty bar that has all the sweet, melty flavours of a chocolate bar with a fun crunch.
