It is one of the hottest trends — nut-based beverages.

Are you a convert?

While I do consume dairy products, at different stages in my life, I have cut out dairy from my diet for extended periods of time. Almost 30 years ago, as a young teenager, I went on a dairy free diet for over a year and there weren’t very many options for tasty milk alternatives. Thankfully, the industry has come a long way since then.

When I opened a bottle of Happy Planet Coffee Nut Smoothie and took my first sip, it turned into a gulp, followed by another and another.

This stuff is delicious.

Whether you are unable to tolerate dairy or you just want to enjoy the taste and goodness of almonds and cashews in a beverage, you will want to check out Happy Planet Nut Smoothies.

Nut beverages have a distinctly different taste from cow’s milk. So, if you are new to nut-based beverages or are trying to get accustomed to the taste, these Happy Planet Nut Smoothies are a great way to go.

They are so sweet and creamy with a fantastic variety of flavours that are a wonderful way to transition to the unique taste of nut-based drinks.

Happy Planet Nut Smoothies come in two different sizes, 325mL and 900mL, and four flavours — Cold-brewed Coffee, Vanilla Chai, Salted Caramel and Chocolate.

Health Benefits of Almonds and Cashews

Happy Planet Nut Smoothies are dairy free & soy free and made with all the goodness of almonds and cashews.

These nuts are:

  • Rich in monounsaturated fats (the ‘good fats’) which are the same type of health-promoting fats as found in olive oil and have been shown to lower cholesterol in blood
  • Rich in vitamin E which is an antioxidant that helps fight inflammation
  • Rich in potassium and low in sodium which helps to keep blood pressure in check
  • Rich in magnesium which is essential for calcium absorption needed for strong bones
  • Rich in copper which plays an important role in enzyme activity, hormone production and brain function

Staying healthy just got easier and tastier!
