Jumps on
Almond Milk
Craze
Specialty food manufacturers
have put alternative dairy ice
creams on the map, but Ben &

with new vegan ice creams
made with almond milk—with
some of the almonds used
being fair trade sourced. It's
a smart move, considering
MarketsandMarkets estimates
the global dairy alternative
market will hit $19.5 billion by
2020.—D.S.
