Milk consumption has been on a steady decline in the market for the past 20 years dropping 25% from 1975-2012, while the plant-based dairy alternatives have averaged annual sales growth of 10.9% since 1999, according to Time. Even popular coffee shops have added other alternatives to dairy besides soy in recent years— Starbuck has added coconut milk and Dunkin’ Doughnuts has added almond milk.

Houston’s recently added a new dairy alternative vendor to our suppliers, Pacific Foods. At Pacific Foods they holds their ingredients to high standards, tracing the origin of every natural and organic ingredient used in their foods. Pacific Foods is also a big supporter of the Non-GMO project, steering clear of additives, preservatives and common allergens. We are pleased to offer a wide variety of their dairy alternatives, which include—Almond Original, Almond Vanilla, Hemp Chocolate, Hemp Original, Hemp Vanilla, Rice Original, and Rice Vanilla Beverages.

We are also stocking their Barista Series™, available exclusively to specialty coffee and foodservice distributors. The Barista Series™ is specially formulated to withstand high temperatures and deliver consistently smooth, velvety microfoam, perfect for latte art, according to Pacific Foods. The Barista Series™ is available in Almond Original, Coconut Original, Soy Original, Soy Vanilla, and Chai Latte Beverages.

So many options to choose from, what product will you add Pacific Foods dairy alternative beverages to?
