Yoi Probiotic Nut & Seedmilks is a new company that's introducing itself to the world with vibrant probiotic plant-based beverages. These nutritious drinks are made from simple, organic ingredients like almonds, coconut and pumpkin seeds. As co-founder Ellie Wells describes, "It was a non-negotiable for us that Yoi be organic and with a great nutritional profile — a high count of probiotics plus prebiotic fiber and plant protein, without added sugar — while also tasting good."
In fact, "Yoi," meaning "good" in Japanese, was inspired by traditional Japanese fermentation and the concept of ikigai. After working in the dairy industry for more than a decade, co-founders Ellie Wells and Tosh Nakagawa found themselves turning to plant-based diets, just as many consumers are doing for sustainability, animal welfare and overall health reasons.
The nutritious drinks can be found in: Strawberry, Vanilla Bean, Pineapple and Cacao Nib flavors.
