Plant cream

Okay kiddo, have you ever had regular cream before? It’s something you might put in your hot chocolate or on top of your fruit. Well, plant cream is a little bit different. Instead of coming from a cow, it’s made from plants.

Have you ever seen soy milk, almond milk, or coconut milk? Those are some of the things that can be used to make plant cream. The milk gets mixed with some special stuff that makes it thicker and creamier, just like regular cream!

People might choose to use plant cream instead of regular cream for different reasons. Maybe they don’t want to eat animal products, or maybe they’re allergic to milk. But even if you’re not vegan or lactose intolerant, plant cream can be a tasty alternative to regular cream.

So there you have it - plant cream is basically like regular cream, but it comes from plants instead of cows. Yum!
