Vegan Cream Cheese Alternative

Makes for a pretty decent vegan cream cheese for bagels and toast. It’s not the absolute best I’ve ever tried, but for the price and convenience it works out great for me! I love adding some herbs and spices to it, which I think enhances the real flavor of how cream cheese is supposed to taste on bagels and toast!

This creamy cheese alternative is thick and delicious in homemade sauces. It is also a tasty topping for toast or a bagel. #vegancreamcheese

I made this delicious app for a holiday party and it was a hit! Spinach dip garlic bread sticks. Was a Pinterest recipe that I veganized and it was pretty amazing - whole thing went- hadn’t had it for years but it was better than I remembered. Was super cheesy - the TJ’s cream cheese was perfect in it - smooth & creamy texture, light flavor and reasonably priced for $2.99. I also used follow your heart Parmesan and Violalife mozzarella shreds, lots of garlic, frozen spinach and pizza crust. Brushed the top with a garlic butter and baked it. Should’ve made 2 lol. Someone commented “I just don’t understand how you can give up cheese” I was like seriously- this was oozing with cheesy flavor, there’s so many friendly alternatives. How can you not? #veganisnotscary #veganisdelicious #vegantraderjoes #veganfortheanimals

I thought this cream cheese from Trader Joe's was pretty good. Easy to spread, great taste and texture. My fav cream cheese is still Tofutti and @paniwilson loves Boursin #veganisnotscary #veganin2023 #ditchdairy #traderjoes

Trader Joe’s vegan cream cheese achieves the subtle yet delicious flavor of traditional dairy cream cheese only this is oh-so-much better, as no animal ‘products’ are used in the making of this cheese. I’ve found this cheese doesn’t spread as easily as other vegan cream cheese products, such as Tofutti or Myokos, nonetheless, it became easy to spread once warmed on a toasty bagel. Made mostly from coconut oil, potato starch & chickpea protein. At $2.99 per package, they’ve reached price parity with national brands, which is great news, as so often vegan products cost more than their non-vegan counterparts, which can make it impossible for people who want to take a chance on trying something vegan. #santuariovegan #vegantraderjoes #traderjoes #ditchdairy
