Innovating the Plant-Based Food Category with Functional Superfoods

Lavva is growing its brand with Paleo and Keto-certified plant-based yogurts and milk products.

Lavva Products

This Brooklyn-based company is packing a lot of power into its growing catalog of vegan all-natural products.

Lavva’s yogurt and milk products are made with the Pili nut, a low carb, high fat nut that requires little water to grow, and creates zero waste - the trees’ shells and bark are used for furniture, and the sap is used in cosmetics. Founder and CEO Liz Fisher, who created the company in 2017, discovered Pili nuts while following a strict keto diet during her successful battle with advanced-stage ovarian cancer. “I was looking for high-quality plant fats that weren't macadamia nuts that didn't taste like a nut, and that's what the Pili nut is. It's a beautiful fatty acid profile and it's very neutral,” said Fisher. Lavva Founder and CEO Liz FisherLavva Founder and CEO Liz Fisher

Starting with the plant-based yogurt, Lavva expanded its offerings with the first certified Keto vegan yogurt in the category - Molten Lavva. Molten Lavva, according to Fisher, is much higher in fat and Pili nut, and has a different package and cup size. “It’s a different proposition. It's kind of a different eating occasion, that's more of a dessert.” The brand has recently introduced a new plant-based milk and will soon be releasing a plant-based creamer. The Plant Milk’s label will be perforated to make for an easy recycling process.
