JUST Egg: Change your morning breakfast routine and swap out eggs for JUST Egg. The way they fluff, the way they scramble, the way they make breakfast worth waking up for. They’re healthier and even taste better when they’re made from plants.

The Very Good Butchers: Keep the sizzle in your breakfast with a wide selection of plant-based sausage from The Very Good Butchers. Another easy way to switch out a regular breakfast item for a plant-based option.

Save Da Sea: Afternoon bagels and lox are an easy changeover with Save Da Sea smoked salmon. Save Da Sea is sustainable, plant-based seafood is made from wholesome ingredients and convincingly mimics the taste and texture, allowing each of us to do our small part to help reduce our environmental impact.

Buck: Make the change from your usual frozen treat to Buck’s award-winning Buckwheat Gelato, a creamy, dreamy, delightfully dairy-free slow-melt will excite your senses while doubling as a powerhouse for our bodies and the planet. BUCK is a Vancouver-based Agri-Foodtech innovator, and the world’s first buckwheat food & beverage company, creating great tasting, plant-based, gluten-free, and non-GMO food products. Buckwheat is a nutritional superfood containing all 9 essential amino acids, quality protein, has prebiotic properties and supports heart health while also being gentle on the planet.

Wildling Shoes: Get grounded with Wilding Shoes. Wilding’s minimal shoes allow foot muscles to develop and become stronger freely and naturally.
