Austin's own Buddha's Brew produces kombucha their own way, insisting that high-quality, effective, probiotic-rich kombucha can and should taste good and does not have to be bitter or excessively sharp. A new flavor highlights this stance perfectly: Pineapple Super Greens! Though the combination sounds unusual, and the swamp-water hue of the 'booch itself even more so, Buddha's Brew Pineapple Super Greens absolutely delivers in the flavor department. Nutrient-dense chlorella, spirulina, barley grass, and other greens blend harmoniously into a tropical-sweet backdrop of pineapple, peach and apple juices. Only picked up a week ago, Pineapple Super Greens Kombucha is proving to be a fast favorite, right out of the gate. 16oz, Reg. $3.19

MimicCreme is a non-dairy, non-soy nut cream made from almonds and cashews. Wherever a recipe calls for cream, use Unsweetened MimicCreme in the in the same amount that you would use dairy cream (with no conversion tables to worry about).  Use the Unsweetened version in sauces and gravies, crepes and pancakes, cakes and muffins; the Sweetened cream is similar to sweetened condensed milk and works well in recipes that call for sweetened cream.16oz, Reg. $3.49







PB2 was dubbed peanut butter’s second generation because it’s unlike any peanut butter you’ve ever experienced. Through a unique process that doesn’t involve the use of any chemicals and doesn’t alter nature’s intended balance found within the peanut, 85% of the fat is removed from premium quality peanuts. Essentially, the oil is squeezed out of roasted peanuts and what remains is powdered peanut butter – all natural with no artificial sweeteners or preservatives. When you mix water or a favorite drink with PB2 you get the same consistency as full-fat peanut butter, with all the roasted peanut flavor, but 85% less fat calories. Our first inclination was to grab a bottle of chocolate milk, shake in a few tablespoons of PB2, and... well, you can imagine how good that was. 6.5oz, Reg. $5.99
