Califia Farms, Los Angeles, launched Better Half Creamer, a nut-based alternative to half and half, along with a reformulation of its line of Almondmilk creamers.
“Seventy-two percent of coffee-drinkers take some form of cream with their coffee, but until now, their half and half choices were limited to high-fat dairy versions or sugar and soy-laden, non-dairy versions. With Better Half, we are offering a nut-based, healthful alternative, one that combines coconut and almond cream to be creamy and rich without excess sugars or ‘bad-for-you’ oils,” says Greg Steltenpohl, chief executive officer. “And, with the government’s recently released dietary guidelines recommending limiting sugar intake to just 10% of your daily calories, these new products mean coffee drinkers don’t have to worry about adding any unwanted sugars to their morning cup.”
