It’s “sun out buns out season,” which means we’re all about those ice cold coffee beverages and backyard noshes.
From guac and chips to plant-based protein that actually tastes good, here’s a look at five food and beverage items to add to your next outdoor summer affair.
Churro Ground Coffee? Yes Please!
-
Nguyen Coffee Supply
Ethically sourced, imported from Vietnamese farmers and produced in Brooklyn, Nguyen Coffee Supply makes some of the most aromatic and smooth beans. Sample a trio to see for yourself with their Brew Kit (they also work great for iced).
-
Lake Champlain Chocolates
Chocolate truffles with all the creaminess of milk chocolate without the dairy? Yes please. Lake Champlain Chocolates has just released their new line of Plant-Based Truffle Bars, free of palm oil, artificial ingredients and GMOs.
-
Skinny Butcher,
Skinny Butcherv is a line of plant-based fried “chicken” that is converting even the most steadfast of carnivores. Their products are soy- and palm oil-free and made of pea protein. Perfect for backyard gatherings.
-
Beanitos
Beanitos sources their black, white and pinto beans from North Dakota, Michigan, Nebraska and Colorado in support of local American farms using regenerative agriculture practices. While their chips aren’t a health food per se, they’re certainly better for you than most competitors with 5g of plant-based protein and 4g of fiber per serving. They’re perfect for dipping, dunking, crumbling and crunching.
-
Copper Cow Coffee
When it comes to flavored coffee, it’s pretty impossible to beat Copper’s Cow Coffee’s Churro and Salted Caramel.
