Anon suggested a master-post of vegan products/brands for beginners, so here it is. *marks my faves.

Milk

*Almond Breeze (Almond milk. With some blend options (cashew & coconut) My personal favorite brand, Vanilla & Chocolate are amazing.) Also makes ice coffee and creamers.

Silk. (Soy, Almond, Cashew, Coconut milk options) Also makes ice coffee and creamers.

Califiafarms (Almond milk, coffee and creamers.)

Dream (Makes Hemp, soy, coconut, sprouted rice, cashew and almond milk)

Pacific (Makes a large variety of plant milks, included oat, hemp and more.)

So delicious (Almond, soy, coconut and blend options)

Cheese

*‘Chao’ by field roast- One of my favorites, the original blend is good enough to eat of the package, which lets be real, is rare with vegan cheeses. Have a variety of flavors.

*Follow your heart - My other go-to, the mozzarella is a fave.

Daiya- A lot of peoples favorites, a lot of different options and even make *cheesecake, mac and cheese and other stuff.

Wayfare- Makes super good nacho cheeses.

Go veggie- Not all the options are vegan, check for casein. Or just this skip this brand all together, it’s not even good. Makes good grated cheese though.

Kite hill-  been on my to-try list for a while. Gourmet cheese and other pre-made products.

Tofutti- Cheese and other dairy products, good *sour cream, avoid the ricotta like the fucking plague. 

*Teese- Makes good nacho sauce.

Vegusto- UK brand, was rated one of the best cheeses, never had - so nothing to add.

Violife- UK brand.

Cream Cheese

Daiya, GoVeggie, Tofutti, Fyh, Trader joes, Kite hill. 

Sour cream

*Tofutti, Fyh, 

Salad Dressing

Fyh, Daiya, Annies

Butter

*Earth Balance

Mayo

Vegenaise by fyh, *Hellmanns, *Just Mayo, Earth balance

Yogurt

*Silk,  So delicious, Daiya, Almond dream, Kite Hill, Wholesoy&co.

Ice cream

*So delicious (sooo many options, including sandwiches etc), Coconut bliss, *Ben & Jerrys nondairy line, *Purely decadent, Amy’s, Tofutti, Some flavors by Talenti, *Fomu & more.

Veggie “eggs”

follow your heart, The vegg.

Faux meats 

*Beyond meat, *Gardein (if you want to trick a omnivore use those two brands haha, especially bm), Tofurky, Lightlife, Boca, Field roast, *Seitan.

*Earth balance makes good bagged snacks like vegan cheese puffs, popcorn and cheese-its.

I know I missed a lot, and probably a lot of brands from other countries, can add to the list if you want!!! I also know you can make any of these things at home, healthier and cheaper, but hey they help a lot of people transition and a lot taste rly good so -shrugs-

New Things

Hello! I’ve been a hermit this week and not feeling well at all. Today I ate all raw as I miss how good I felt when I did that this past winter. I’ve been going out to eat a lot more than usual due to being in a new relationship. I don’t want to totally cut going out to eat out of my life so I think I will try being raw vegan at home and when I go out to eat then I can have whatever healthy and usually vegetarian/hopefully vegan option they have. Think: mostly go for the salads. 

Or if I’m cooking for someone then I can cook what they want and have some of it aka special occasion. 

And during gatherings/parties etc bring a healthy salad or other dish, and choose the healthy options.

This seems reasonable, not as stressful as being hardcore 100% Raw like I was in the winter. That ended up stressing me out because my work schedule made it really hard to prepare meals every day, now my schedule is a lot more open but I want to be able to have some flexibility, which I think is healthier overall. I do need a guideline to keep me on track though. 

I’m so excited to make Raw Banana Cinnamon Rolls, AND Rawvanna’s Raw Snicker Recipe. My friend Emily said she’ll make it with me 😊 😊 <3 <3
