Dips and spreads producer ¡Yo Quiero! is extending its portfolio with the launch of its new line of better-for-you avocado cream cheese dips. The avocado-forward range includes Spinach Artichoke, Spinach Bacon, Jalapeño Popper and Bacon Cheddar Ranch variants. Jay Alley, co-owner and vice president of sales for ¡Yo Quiero!, said: "With the mindfulness to balance premium ingredients and fresh flavours with nutrition, these four delicious products combine the mouthwatering decadence of real cream cheese with the wholesome goodness of avocado". Alley continued: "Avocado has come out on top as one of the healthiest ingredients to build upon to create dips that have fewer calories, less fat and less cholesterol than other top-selling cream cheese dips in this category. Avocado is the first ingredient in each of our four flavoured dips...". The new range will join the brand's portfolio of guacamoles, queso and salsas, among other dips and spreads. ¡Yo Quiero!'s Avocado Cream Cheese Dips will be available across in the US in select Costco, Walmart and Albertson's locations.
