lifestyles is motivating global
consumers to incorporate more
natural, plant-based ingredients such

With this strong consumer
movement towards eating less

manufacturers are constantly looking
for protein alternatives.
Almond protein is the newest
innovation in almond ingredients

masking or extra sugar required. The
almond protein powder can be used

The high-quality almonds used in
the protein powder create bettertasting

the premium almonds grown in the
Central Valley of California. These
almonds make the protein powder
non-GMO, dairy-free, gluten-free and
soy-free. Food manufacturers have a
choice of either blanched or natural
Blue Diamond Almond Protein
Powder available in 25kg bags.

nutrient-packed, delicious superfood
that can fill a variety of needs

to stay productive throughout their
day such as high quality protein bars,
