Plant Perks is a woman-owned and family-run business that is elevating the plant-based cheese spread industry by delivering 'Cheeze Spreads' with shockingly similar textures and flavors to their dairy counterparts. The company's products are certified organic, non-GMO and Kosher – as well as vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, probiotic-rich and all natural. Plant Perks Cheeze Spreads are made from a base of organic, silky cashew cream and blended with organic ingredients to create unique flavors. The company's goal is to create vegan products that are so tasty, people can switch to a cruelty-free lifestyle without feeling deprived. The company's packaging and shipping materials are recyclable and its commitment to fair trade supports small, family-owned farms.

"We are honored to accept 'Cheese Product of the Year' honors again this year from the Mindful Awards and look forward to supporting even more consumers to 'go vegan' this year!"
