Lavva is on a mission to realize the full potential of plant-based foods made without compromise. The brand produces dairy-free yogurt and milk made from the lowest carb nut on the planet, the pili nut. Lavva dairy-free yogurt is truly a living, cultured superfood, made with a proprietary blend of vegan probiotic cultures, containing at least 50 billion probiotics by the end of shelf life. Committed to real food ingredients, all Lavva products are certified vegan, paleo-friendly, gluten-free and GMO-free, and never include any added sugar, natural (or artificial) flavors, fillers, thickening agents, oils, or emulsifiers.   Lavva can be found in more than 5,000 stores nationwide, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Wegmans, Stop & Shop, independent grocers and more. Liz Fisher is the founder Lavva. After being diagnosed with advanced-stage ovarian cancer, Liz rebuilt her diet around nourishing, high-fat foods and, in the process, discovered the Pili nut—a little-known nut with a rich, buttery taste that contains a higher concentration of vitamin E and magnesium than any other nut. She began blending Pili nuts with coconut milk and was blown away by the superior texture and flavor. For years, Liz and her team worked hard to perfect the recipe. Instead of taking industry shortcuts with gums, coloring agents, artificial flavors or sugar, she forged her own path. She learned that young plantains added a beautiful texture and hint of natural sweetness as well as a natural boost of prebiotics, while culturing the product with vegan probiotics created the perfect tartness. Liz is now cancer free and lives in Aiken, SC, with her husband and dogs.
