The Best Vegan Cheeses on the Market!
If you weren’t already aware, there are sooooo many vegan cheese alternatives on the market now! I am blown away by how they manage to improve the science of creating these vegan “cheeses” so that they taste so similar to real cheese. I first cut dairy from my diet in August of 2019 and I thought that it would be so hard, because I was such a cheese lover, but it really hasn’t been bad because there are so many options that taste just as good! My decision was made as an act of treating our planet better, but, I also noticed that my body started to feel better too! Turns out, dairy had been hurting my stomach for years!
Switching to non-dairy cheese has incredible environmental and health benefits. You are helping to reduce the amount of land and resources used by dairy cattle, you are helping to cut the green house gas emissions from dairy cattle, as well as improve your complexion, relieve digestion problems like bloating, and reduce inflammation!
“Research shows that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.” - The Guardian
Putting together a vegan cheese plate is a great way to acquaint yourself with some of these new versions. All you need to do is pick up a couple of different flavors from your local grocery store, some of your favorite crackers, fruits and nuts - then assemble and enjoy!
