■ LIQUID ASSETS
Established as Soyaworld in 1994,
Burnaby-based Earth's Own Food
Co. produces So Fresh, So Good
and So Nice milks from almonds,
cashews, oats and soy. Also in
Burnaby, and started in 2015, Nuez
Beverage Co. handcrafts nine fla-
vours of nut milk from organic almonds
and cashews without additives or
fillers. In May, East Vancouver's
Plant Veda launched a vegan probi-
otic lassi, and Shift Shakes opened
a blender bar in the city's Kitsilano
neighbourhood serving eight plant-
based "mylk" drinks.
■ FERMENTING REVOLUTION
Non-dairy alternatives pioneer Daiya
Foods developed a cassava-based
cheese in 2008. The company, which
recently moved from East Vancouver
to a 400,000-square-foot facility in
Burnaby, now churns out items ranging
from yogurt to pizza, sold in grocery
stores worldwide. In 2018, chef Karen
McAthy, author of The Art of Plant-
Based Cheesemaking, opened Blue
Heron Creamery on Vancouver's
Main Street, where she creates more
than 20 types of cheese, butters and
yogurt from nuts and coconut milk. She
plans to expand production this year.
■ JUST DESSERTS
Ben & Jerry's offers vegan ice cream,
but B.C. has Nora's Non-Dairy,
Say Hello Sweets and Umaluma
Dairy-Free Gelato in Vancouver,
plus Celestial Scoop from Nelson's
Enlightened Coconut restaurant
owner Roger Smith. North Van's Amai
Vegan Treats makes coconut-milk
mousse in three flavours.
