As a vegan it is important for me to have great tasting products. I have found some products to be a bit on the bland or rubbery side over the past few years and I was not thrilled at all. So I went on a hunt trying different ice creams, butters, sausages, ground meat products, and moe vegan items to see which ones are the best tasting.
Here are my Top 5 Vegan Products:
1. Tofutti Ice Cream - I am an ice cream expert. I love Ben & Jerry’s and Hagen Das. I like my ice cream to be creamy with chunks of something in it. So when my husband told me about Tofutti Ice Cream, I was skepical because I thought there was no way a vegan ice cream could taste like I was used to. Well, the Better Pecan shut my mouth and made a believer out of me. It was creamy an chunky just the way I like it. Tofutti comes in ice cream sandwiches as well and I have yet to try a flavor I did not like.
2. Soy Garden Butter - Bread and butter was a childhood favorite for me. When I moved to chicago, the choices for healthier butter that were vegan friendly were not very good. Either they did not melt or they tasted like I was chewing on old rubber boots. One day we were shopping in Trader Joe’s and we came across the Soy Garden brand. So we picked up a container of it. When we got home my husband and I did the melt taste and it melted well. Then we pulled out the whole wheat bread, got the knife and spread that stuff on thick. UMMM…that is all I can say. I can also add that Soy Garden is also transfat free and has no cholesterol.
3. Tofutti Cream Cheese - Yep, there is that brand name again. I must admit that the Tofutti line has some pretty good items. From their cream cheese to the sour cream they are by far a vegan’s best bet for taste so close to the real stuff you really don’t know the difference. Try the cream cheese in your cheese cakes or on a bagel. You won’t be sorry.
4. Tofurkey Italian Sausages - While on vacation I made vegan spaghetti with these sausages for my friends and family. They did not the difference. One of my friends even purchased some for her meat eating boys and made them some spaghetti. She loved the fact that they were not greasy and that her boys could not tell the difference. She went out the next day and purchased other Tofurkey products like the cold cuts and the bratwurst.
5. Morning Star Ground Meat - Try it in your chili in place of ground beef. You cna even create some awesome tacos and burritos with it. It is a very good ground meat substitute.
So there you have my top 5 Vegan products. The next time you are in the grocery store make sure to grab one of them and give it a try.
