    Cheese has been one of the hardest things for my partner and I to give up

    It’s cheap, tasty, and it’s a decent source of protein

    We’re finally getting tasty vegan cheese (Rebel cheese is a favorite of ours) but it’s expensive and often is pure fat.

    I’m hoping we’ll get more innovation in vegan cheeses but in the meanwhile I’m going to keep looking for good alternatives

      Do you need a different cheese for each use case? Like a good vegan cheese to sprinkle on as a topping, a good one that will melt, one to have on sandwiches, and so on?

      I imagine you would. I’ve tried a few vegan varieties and had pretty bad luck: it has all tasted like the cheapest diner version of that cheese or butter I’ve ever had. So far kinda unfortunate.

        I like violife for places where I’d use shredded cheese. It’s a decent option for pizza and especially for tacos. I just wish it was as rich in protein as animal cheese
