Cheese is absolutely the hardest thing for me to consider giving up. Ironically, it’s the way that milking cows are treated that bothers me almost more than anything else. While I haven’t been buying cheeses, I still eat it when I go out. Baby steps.
I started experimenting with various cheese “alternatives” and as with Almond Milk, all cheese alternatives are not equal. Here are a few I really like.
WORD OF CAUTION: Many soy cheeses include milk products so you have to read the label carefully!
Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese – Herbs and Chives
Good to put on bagels or just eat with carrot sticks and crackers.
Follow Your Heart – Mozzarella (I highly recommend you stay away from the “Cheddar Cheese”)
Has a nutty flavor even though it’s tofu based. I wouldn’t say it tastes like cheese, but I like it! You can melt it but I haven’t tried that yet.
I love cubing this and eating it straight-up or with crackers.
Dr Cow Nut Cheeses
So delish but not cheap! If you check out their website they list where their products are sold (online and in stores).
Dr Cow cheeses are served at the swanky and spendy "Irving Pure Food and Wine" in NYC
