Creamy, Clean-Label Dips at Scale: How JOI Delivers Dairy-Free Versatility for Foodservice and CPG
JOI Why Dips Still Dominate
From deli counters and snack kits to mezze platters and appetizer menus, dips are an evergreen favorite. They're shareable, craveable, and endlessly customizable—making them a must-have across restaurant, catering, and retail formats.
But here's the catch: Most creamy dips rely on dairy, mayonnaise, or eggs to deliver texture and richness. That can mean shorter shelf life, added allergens, and tricky storage.
JOI changes that.
With JOI plant-based milk concentrates, your team can create clean-label, creamy dips with fewer ingredients, longer shelf life, and zero compromise.
Meet JOI: The Better Base for Creamy Dips
JOI is a line of whole-food, shelf-stable concentrates (pastes and powders) made from almonds, cashews, oats, hemp, soy, or coconut. It replaces traditional dairy or mayo in dip recipes with:
- ✅ Ultra-creamy texture, no emulsifiers required
- ✅ Shelf-stable convenience = less spoilage, more usable space—use only what you need, without sacrificing refrigerated storage
- ✅ Allergen-aware options
- ✅ Clean ingredient decks your customers trust
- ✅ Plant-based performance that scales
Just scoop, blend with other dip ingredients, and go. JOI saves time, space, and sourcing complexity for foodservice kitchens and manufacturers alike.
How to Use JOI in Dip Recipes
No need to pre-mix JOI with water. Just add it directly to your blender, food processor, or mixing bowl with the rest of your ingredients.
JOI functions as a creamy, whole-food replacement for:
- Dairy (sour cream, yogurt, heavy cream)
- Mayonnaise and egg
- Cream cheese or processed dip bases
- Oil
The result? Smooth, rich dips with clean flavor and ultra-adaptable texture—ready to batch, bottle, drizzle, dip or serve.
