    i actually bought the greek chickpeas right after i saw your last video on it. they’ve been sitting in my cupboard for months, and since they were going to go bad soon, i opened them last night. wowow they’re so good!! and making hummus out of them sounds like such a good idea too!

    A tip I’ve heard for their vegan cream cheese is to let it sit out for a bit before you use it, so it’s not super cold and makes it easier to spread. I love it! Also Trader Joe’s also has these Oat Chocolate Bars that are delicious!

    @figursk8er1112 2 роки тому +10

    I’m pretty sure they reformulated the vegan cream cheese recently because the packaging is different now than it was a few months ago and it’s a lot firmer more like the tofutti like you said. I remember it being very soft and often watery. I’m glad they made it firmer though because the tofutti is still my favorite cream cheese and this is very similar now. Did you find the chai drink grainy?? I was super excited for it but took one sip and it was so grainy I didn’t like it at all.
