Truvani Organic Plant-Based Protein Powder
The Truvani brand was created in order to provide health and food products with clean ingredients and without added fillers and chemicals. They believe in fighting for transparency in the food industry and their products aim to be an example of that. Truvani’s organic protein powders are made with pea protein and all the other listed ingredients will be recognizable as “food” rather than something made in a lab. You can find both the Chocolate Protein Powder and Vanilla Protein Powder at all three of our stores. For more information visit: truvani.com.

Willy Street Co-op Vegan Made-without-Gluten Tofu Scramble
For those interested in an egg substitute, for price or dietary reasons, they can now find our housemade Tofu Scramble as a new offering on our hot bars. It includes amix of different vegetables, such as peppers, mushrooms, and onions, a little bit of heat and is well-seasoned to give the tofu a depth of flavor. It is both vegan and made-without-gluten and is available in all three of our Delis from 7:30–11am.
Willy Street Co-op Buttermilk Biscuits & Turkey Sausage Gravy
We’ve brought the breakfast classic of Biscuits & Gravy to our breakfast hot bar offerings! The Turkey Sausage Gravy recipe was developed at our production kitchen by Zach J. and uses Minnesota-raised Ferndale ground turkey, local flour, and local milk. Our house-made Buttermilk Biscuits are not new per se, but it’s been a few years since they’ve been offered and never on the hot bar before now. So their return to our stores is an important detail since they act as a satisfying vehicle for Turkey Sausage Gravy. You can find this breakfast favorite on our hot bar at all three stores from 7:30–11am.
Willy Street Co-op Vegan Made-Without-Gluten Biscuit & Vegan Made-Without-Gluten Gravy
But wait! There’s more Biscuit & Gravy action! You’ll also find our new Vegan Made-without-Gluten Biscuits, which were also developed at our production kitchen by Lucielen S. The Vegan Made-without-Gluten Mushroom Gravy is not a new offering for us, but again it’s an important mention as it completes the circle of biscuit and gravy comfort. Look for this on our hotbar at all three locations between the hours of 7:30–11am.
