One Thing, Every Day

Imagine you could make one change in your daily life to improve your health, alleviate climate change, safeguard ecosystems, protect animals and help solve world hunger. Turns out, you can. It’s called a plant-based diet.*

Avoiding meat and dairy is shown to be the single most effective way to reduce your impact on Earth.4

Eat Better, Feel Better

Individuals who eat more plants tend to be healthier, have lower risk of many major diseases and live longer. Benefits of a plant-based diet can include:5,6

  • Lower blood pressure and cholesterol
  • Reduced risk of cardiovascular disease
  • Improved digestion
  • Lower risk of diabetes-related conditions
  • Weight loss
  • Superior athletic performance

Reduce Your Foodprint

According to scientific studies, Califia Plantmilks can dramatically reduce your environmental “foodprint” when compared to cow’s milk. In fact, swapping a pint of cow’s milk for Califia saves a pound of carbon from going into the earth’s atmosphere!**
