Green Girl Bakeshop

Green Girl Bakeshop makes plant-based gelato pints and icebox cookie sandwiches that are dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free and paleo. The desserts use organic ingredients, with coconut milk in the gelato, coconut oil in the cookies, and maple syrup or coconut sugar for sweetness. Founder Lisa, raised in an Italian family with a chef father, began making the treats after a health diagnosis and food allergies, starting in her own kitchen and at a local farmers' market. Run today as a family business with her husband, the brand is sold in natural food stores across the West Coast.
