Cibo Vita, makers of the Nature’s Garden brand of snack foods, is unveiling two new products sold in recyclable packaging:
- Nature’s Garden Oat Milk Chocolate Covered Strawberry Almonds: Strawberry-dusted oat milk chocolate almonds featuring Fino de Aroma cocoa from Colombia, wrapped around a premium almond with a strawberry finish. 100% plant-based and vegan. In keeping with Cibo Vita’s drive toward greater sustainability, the use of oat milk in production reduces its carbon impact, the company noted.
- Nature’s Garden Probiotic Strawberry Yoggies: Yogurt-coated, strawberry morsels are infused with probiotics through a patented microencapsulation delivery system. Yoggies contain 3 g of fiber per serving and two billion live probiotic cultures, the company said.

Manufacturing via the panning process, utilizing recyclable packaging, and incorporating dairy-free alternatives all helps to reduce our carbon footprint, which is the current mission of our growing company."
