The biggest hurdle in my #veganleaning journey has been cheese. I’m fine with drinking rice milk, and I love coconut milk ice cream, but when it comes to cheese, the vegan replacement options are generally disappointing. But cream cheese is an exception, and I’ve found two that are just as satisfying as real cream cheese. My favorite is Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese, which has the firm consistency of the cream cheese that comes in a foil-wrapped block. If you like your cream cheese more creamy,
the Daiya Dairy-Free Plain Cream Cheese is much softer, more like whipped cream cheese sold in a tub. It’s one small bagel step on my path to removing animal products from my diet.
