Jerky |
We were REAL hungry & super snacky. With lots of food allergies. So what did we do? PREVAIL. We were tired of settling for bland, boring food just because we had food allergies. So we made our own. Never Settle. Always PREVAIL. |

Dairy Alternatives |
From Dec 4th-15th, we’re going to hide a box ✨🎁✨ full of incredible food gifts from over 30 food friends and partners, in 12 cities across the United States. Join our cult and enjoy discounts on a subscription service that will have our yogurts delivered fresh to your door. Our coconut yogurt is unlike anything else and probably the most powerfully probiotic food you've ever had. We small batch ferment 800 billion highly active probiotics into every quart, creating an insanely probiotic coconut yogurt. We make all of our yogurts in artisanal, small batches. This means there is some variability in texture and consistency, especially when the yogurts are shaken during shipping. Sometimes, the cream at the top gets mixed with the fermented coconut water at the bottom, which can also change the texture. Other times the thicker portion at the top can seem chunky or fluffy. This is totally normal, and your yogurt still has all of the super probiotic benefits your body loves! If you want, you can stir it up or let it settle out to modify texture. Our coconut yogurts are plant-based instead of dairy-based so they will last for 8 weeks unopened. Once opened, if you take care of it, it will take care of you! Seal the jar tightly, don’t double dip, keep other food particles out of the jar, keep it in the fridge, and it should last for 3 weeks. The Coconut Cult specializes in coconut yogurt that is rich in probiotics and promotes gut health. The Coconut Cult is known for its rich, creamy coconut yogurt that is high in probiotics, offering a delicious and healthy snack option. |

DrinkInversa
 |
Beverages |
Behind the all natural ingredients, classic flavors and stunning packaging are a pair of life-long friends with a passion for Prosecco and even better cocktails. As we wandered the globe, often with nothing more than suitcases and a dream, the Italian l'aperitivo ritual became our anchor. The aperitivo is the time of day when stress begins to fade and you’re left with what's important: the moment you're in and the people you're with. So we returned to Italy on a quest to design the perfect Prosecco-based spritz; simple ingredients, consistently high-quality, and never boring. We wanted it to be convenient and stylish without being wasteful or pretentious. But above all else, it had to be authentically Italian. Benvenuti a Inversa. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. |
