a good alternative for cheese
2022-Mar-27, Sunday 02:24 pmJust so you know, I've tasted a few types of Violife products, and they are an excellent alternative to cheese.
It's based on coconut oil, and it's free of gluten, soy, lactose, and nut. The basic and flavored cream cheese are great on toast! I'm sure the strawberry cream cheese would be even better on bagles. (I'm sad that gluten nerve damage keeps me away from bagles and deep dish pizzas.) Also, you know those big balls of cheese that people share around holidays? I'm certain the cheddar version would work perfectly. It's the right consistency and flavor. It's what I thought of every time I tasted it.
It's more expensive than the cow versions for now. Especially when you special order for home delivery like I did, because they store it in special cold boxes for shipment. Hopefully the vegans out there live near a store that stocks products like these. They're very yummy.
I'm not vegan myself, but I try milk alternatives at every opportunity because cow milk turns my sinuses into sludge. :) In that vein, I discovered this week that the local Aldi discount grocery now finally stocks oat milk. That's my favorite alternative now that rice milk is hard to find locally. Please don't buy almond milk. It makes an inappropriate demand on fresh water supply.
P.S. It's well below freezing today in Minneapolis, and a big storm is forecast. I dislike second winter.
