@@MakeItDairyFree I honestly haven’t tried a lot of the items you mentioned. The one item I have tried and don’t agree with is the Daiya cutting board shreds. I don’t think they taste any better than their original cheese shreds 😬 However, I do buy the Daiya shreds and make a cheese sauce by adding nutritional yeast, vegan butter, cayenne, peeper, garlic powder, onion powder and oat milk (once in a while I’ll add liquid smoke).
How has it been going for you? I’m a new vegan/vegetarian I don’t know which one I want to be yet but I’m leaning towards vegan :)) I just know I’m not gonna be a meat eater 😙
I am so glad you mentioned the Country Crock butter. I usually grab the Earth Balance, but saw the Country Crock plant butter was cheaper, so I decided to give it a try. I was surprised at how good it was, because original Country Crock wasn’t very good.
Agree! Original CC is gross to me. The almond oil and avocado oil ones are my favorite! The olive oil one is ok but not as good as the other two, I don’t think.
My son has dairy and a nut allergy..I often tell him how lucky he is growing up at this time. I can't imagine how difficult it was for folks growing up even 10 years ago with food allergies. The interest in vegan foods for consumers has helped people with food allergies...We really enjoy your channel, you folks are super relaxing to watch and very informative...you really are providing a very valuable service.
It really sucked. It sucked like crazy the whole time my son was a kid. People would not understand he was allergic to meat Yep that’s right meat. Or buckwheat or anything with the large protein. I can’t tell you how many times I caught people trying to give him meat with him vigorously fighting it off. Also people trying to sneak it into his food. One of his college mates in China mixed some in with his food it took him several days to recover and it was just what was on her chopsticks.
@@hcure4003 he was born that way. I guess with the alpha gal you have to be bit by a Lonestar tick. I’m glad it was me. That was a mom because I really am made for the job :-). Good luck.!🍀
@@rejn1420 yes I have issues with meat and was bit by a tick years ago so I always consider it possible I may have that. That's good to hear you gladly did what you needed to as a mom! Very heartwarming! Thanks!
Great video! The moment of silence for Field Roast is on point 💯 I have been so amazed with every single product I’ve tried from them and have been telling people to give them a try for years!!👏 🔥🌱❤️
I'm a long-time vegetarian trying to go vegan. Your videos are more helpful than anything else I've found. One thing I struggle with is replacing half & half for my coffee, something that has the same mouth feel but doesn't change the taste or smell. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I'd be curious to see you guys make whole food plant based vegan meals. When I first went vegan, I gained 5 lbs because of the oils in dairy replacement vegan options. Once I learned about calorie density and how calorically dense and nutrient low oil is, I decided to cut it out and my weight is back down. Do you see yourselves trying out some "Forks Over Knives" style dishes anytime soon?
Thankyou for your professional presentation. I was on the “fence” going vegan, but this video pushed me over the edge! I look forward to viewing your other videos.
Finally! Someone who admits that Vegan is expensive. I'm working hard on making Vegan meals that my wife will enjoy WITH me. And inexpensive too. This doesn't seem right that it is more expensive. Good job, loved the video. Thank you very much.
This Is Pure Gold! This is exactly what I was looking for, the variety, the presentation, the comparisons; so thank you. I know I am not the only one who appreciates you two taking the time to compose this very comprehensive list of vegan products; that encompasses virtually every category of food I and many others have been contemplating as well as a few extra categories that I didn't think are available. This more than enough to get started and I'll be sure recommend anyone new to the lifestyle or still struggling to this video and your channel ❤️
Loved the style of video and the pace! I’ve only been Vegan for a year and feel like I’m still trying to figure things out. It’s really helpful to hear about what tastes good and what doesn’t so I don’t have to waste my money 😆 Thank you for all the time you’ve put into your review videos and for all the recipes you’ve shared ❤️
Cannot believe I am only just discovering you two 💕 I've been Vegan for 15 years and you two Give the best advice for substitute products I instantly subscribed !😊 I love your beautiful earthy background it's so calming. And just you two as a couple are lovely ❤❤
Love love love this shorter version! I love your videos but honestly I have to fast forward through a lot of them because of their length so this is just perfect for me. I don't know where I'd be without your reviews and recipes! Using your vegan choc and vanilla cake recipe for my cake pop business! Will be sure to tag you in my next posting!
Awesome review! My fiancé has been vegan for a year and a half now and we have tried soo many products. It’s funny seeing your favorites because they are so similar to ours too! Also fun fact, Portillos, a chain restaurant here in chicago, now has a plant-based hotdog that is actually good….and they use the field roast hotdogs that you guys recommend. TRUST THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, PEOPLE!
Honestly, this video was great but I love the long version videos too. I appreciate you not reading out all if the ingredients anymore but the overall length of the other videos is fine.
Thank you guys for making great vids for everyday vegans just trying to navigate the whole lifestyle! I am totally in agreement with the Gardein products. Follow your heart makes a great shredded parmesan. Blackbird frozen pizza out of Queens NYC are delicious also. Please keep making informative and fun videos.
Not vegan, but former vegetarian, and thinking about going back and easing into veganism. I love the Gardein fish sticks, and Violife is my favorite cheese substitute! Also Tattooed Chef brand is good for smoothie bowls/ frozen entrees. Forager Project cashew milk yogurt is also one of my faves with some blueberries! Also Sweet Loren’s premade cookie dough is so delicious and a quick vegan cookie to either bake & safe to eat raw!
Loved this! Some of the dairy free items Country Crock , Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia-yum, and Oui are so tasty! I have to do Oat, Rice, and Soy as almonds tend not to make my tummy happy I am making a list of the other items to try as well! Your videos never disappoint! Thank you!
New synscriber and 7 month old baby vegan! You guys have changed my life in one afternoon.... THANK YOU!! I'm struggling with pantry spices and I'm glad you mentioned the black salt and what flavor profile that it has. Hopefully I run across a video with a list of those or if you don't have one... PLEASE PLEASE DO ONE!
I loved this video! Short format, fun, and cut down on all the waist of me trying different things. At least i can start with some of these! Thank you!
This was really helpful. I just watched the documentaries Seaspiracy and What The Health on Netflix and I really want to try Veganism. It’s very hard as a Hispanic because I noticed EVERYTHING we eat basically has meat or an animal product! This video made me feel a little better about finding alternatives. A recipe I think you guys would like is to make a lasagna made of sweet plantains. This is called Pastelon. So you need: -sweet plantains for your tiers -the vegan beef -vegan cheese - prepare as you would a lasagna!
The pair of you have THE BEST reviews on social. They’re honest and realistic. Whenever I’m considering a new vegan product, I alway check your reviews first. 🌱💚🥰
I mean, come on! You two are absolutely amazing! I love love love your videos. You are so helpful. Have been vegan for a year now and couldn’t be happier. I literally go to store and can’t decide on something so I play one of your videos to help me decide. I look forward to every video! I will say though about the butter 🧈 that Miyokos coconut oil butter is the absolute best. Tried the oat milk one and it wasn’t good. Thank you for your hard work helping us out!
So glad I found this channel omg!! I've been vegetarian for almost two years now, & Im trying to transition to vegan, so your videos are amazing!! Also love your vibesss
Thanks for sharing, I'm in Florida we don't have a lot of the brands you share, but gardein we have and they are my favorite! I make my own bread, I control what is in it😊... Love your videos, keep them coming... Blessings 🙏
I almost always agree with your choices, i love the fun lighthearted conversation between the 2 of you. This video was shorter than most of your videos, but i something was missing. I usually watch your videos till the end because of that light hearted nature, so don't cut that short because of time. I'm not a fulltime vegan yet, but i love that you guys show me options. Thanks
I did enjoy the speed of this video. Everything was conveyed clearly and simply. Although I enjoy watching this channel, I do find that I get really distracted by some of the side conversations and I don’t remember much about the actual topic
I honestly much prefer the longer videos BUT just listing off products or cooking is a great way to use the shorter format! I love the long taste tests though
The yogurt segment made me snicker. : ) Enjoyed this run-down of options; I sub to several British vegan channels and we lag behind the options there, but it's getting better, almost by the month. I am so grateful for that, because it means that people thinking about making the switch have an easier time now. Hope this year gives you every success; TFP!
Loved this video! Our families have similar tastes my kids love the Morningstar nuggets. I actually just made my own turkey deli roll it was amazing. I followed Sweet Simple Vegans here on YT's recipe and we were not disappointed. I made a Ham one as well using Orringtons vegan ham flavor and that one was bomb too.
I’m a new subscriber and I’m on the path of transitioning into vegan-ism (if that’s a word lol) and I’ve started using plant-based food items some you have listed and some I have yet to try. I’m thankful for this video as I will look into trying out these products! I really enjoyed this video thank you so much!
Just found you ... wanting to find a decent yogurt. Ended up spending the evening with you. Appreciate all of the info. This video tied it all up for me. Keep comparing and sharing.
Hi! I just received the 28-Day Herbal Detox from Dr. Bobby Price and began searching for Vegan Subs for protien. Glad to have found your channel!!!! With the help of you guys I'm going fully plant based once the detox is complete. Thanks for all that you two are doing. Make a lovely couple Indeed. Instant Subscriber!!! Shalom.
Ya the cheeses really helped when becoming vegan! Next was milk but only cooked with silk soy milk. Couldn't drink it straight. Best drinking milk I found was Cali red label . Thank you for all you do ! Love your content!!
You guys!!! I routinely use the just egg folded patties and gardein spicy breakfast sausages to make delish breakfast sandwiches for our new vegan household. I HIGHLY recommend letting the little gardein breakfast patties thaw on the counter, then combining two patties to form them into a bigger, better shape for the sandwiches. I do refreeze the sausages for about 30-45 minutes. It works great, I promise!! 2 breakfast sausage patties > one
@@MakeItDairyFree Lol I totally meant the beyond breakfast sausages but I think y'all know what I meant!! I'm def gonna try the lightlife sausage ground! Soy chorizo would probably be amazing too
Thank you for the suggestions! I've been all over dairy-free ice cream because I am lactose intolerant. I agree, Ben & Jerry's is the best and an extremely close second is the Avocado brand in the dark chocolate flavor! Downside, it's about $7 a pint but it is Soooo worth it! 😉
Thanks so much for all these great suggestions! I agree with you about the Gardein products too! I finally found my favorite vegan yogurt at Trader Joes. It's a plain yougurt made of cashews and honestly it's become a substitute for sour cream too and I love it one a baked potato!
I think you all are spot on with most of everything. Beyond Meat is the Best one out htere and so good!. One thing you did miss was how great Gardein is! You missed 2 of their best products, the Fishless fillets and the Crabless Cakes, both so good, I fool my whole family with them and they cant believe it, they are so yummy and accessible!!!
Great video and great idea. I totally agree with that yogurt. I’ve found quite a few different vegan yogurts that I like, but that one is by far the best!
You have to try Brave Robot icecream! It is amazing! The texture and taste are great. My favorite is the PB N Fudge. It is a vanilla base with peanut butter and fudge swirls.
I have been vegetarian for 3 years now and I'm slowly substituting dairy. I think eggs will be the hardest for me. The milk and butter have been easy transitions for me so far and I kind of left those 3 years ago also but it's just the cheese that's been the hardest for me so this has been extremely helpful.
I found you guys 4 days ago and have been binge watching all of your episodes. I love to see black vegans and think you guys are so great. Thank you so much for all the taste test and recipes. I am truly in love with your channel. My only complaint is that I don’t like that he can’t be uncomfortable for a second and doesn’t mind if you are. We noticed it early on bits Its really evident in this video. Why wait to see if you are disgusted or get sick and save himself the same pain. I think if your in it together then suffer in the trenches together. Just something that my husband and I picked up on. Other that that again we thank you for all the knowledge you guys provide!
So glad you did this!!! My daughter is bringing home her new boyfriend for the holidays. She says "he's the one"! He is vegan and I was at a loss. This was super informative and the perfect pace. Very helpful stating what stores you purchased products. Great video!!!
So happy that you are willing to help him. That's so sweet of you. Feel free to email us at makeitdairyfreetoday@gmail.com and we can help you with some holiday meal recipes!
Loved the pace of this video! No hate, but I find the longer ones hard to get through, especially the observations on ingredients and allergens. I'm sure some people appreciate. This moved along at a great clip that held my attention.
Got diagnosed with celiac 5yrs ago so gluten free options have been hit or miss and I’ve had years of experience but recently decided to fully convert to dairy free as I’ve heard how much damage vs good dairy truly does for us...so only 3 wks in and my two favorite dairy free items so far (my kiddos approved as well) is So Delicious Dairy Free Plant Based Mozzarella Style Shreds (great on homemade pizzas/topping or mixing in for pasta night/quesadillas) and Miyoko’s Creamery Savory Scallion Cream Cheese
I actually work for lightlife. The company is in Turners falls Massachusetts So crazy to see how popular it really is. I never noticed it much before working there ... but they say it’s the baader-meinhof phenomenon. “When you recently learn something and suddenly it’s everywhere” Glad to see you like it!
Excellent!!!! Very helpful!!! I love making the frozen banana ice cream with frozen fruit, but.... I know it's nice to still have non dairy store bought options as well.... I also recommend the provolone slices you mentioned... Super yummy
You are absolutely correct about Gardein and Lightlife brand foods. They taste so good. I do like the ingredients in the Field Roast hot dog, but I don’t like the taste and texture. I prefer a Lightlife hot dog. The Chobani brand vegan yogurts are excellent, but they are difficult to find. I prefer the Amy’s and American Flatbread brands vegan pizzas. Thanks so much for keeping the time on this video shorter. You did a FABULOUS job!
Loving what you guys are doing!! I did like the speed of this one. I like a lot of the food choices. I have tried most of what you guys have suggested. Can you discuss supplements? Do you guys take supplements especially for vitamin B? Thanks for all that you guys do!!
Thanks for the feedback. We take vitamin b12 spray, a multivitamin, vegan omega supplement and magnesium. I'll try to get something together on what we take and why. but just wanted to answer quickly
Love this video. Firstly, I prefer a shorter video just because of time management. I’m vegetarian and hopefully one day I’ll make the full transition. I love the impossible burger the best with a little smoked flavoring for seasoning. The gardien is my second favorite. I’ve yet to try the chicken alternatives so I will give them a try. Thank you.
Fantastic video and just what I needed🙌🏾New vegan here so your recommendations for all of these categories are very helpful..Thanks so much, you guys are awesome❤
I love your videos. Highly informative and splendidly paced. I try to avoid the vegan faux meats because they are highly processed foods, which, of course, are not healthy choices, but you have convinced me to try the Ultimate Burger. Thanks.
I love the rarely seen "Ozo" brand of ground burger. I think the difference is that it is based on pea protein. The best by far. I also like "Morning Star" bacon and the grillers prime. I love, love the chik'n drumettes by "Yes" sold in Target sometimes. They are amazing!
Loved the variety of items featured. I am in the first stage of trying everything for the first time. I need a direction. Quite a few things have not been liked. Just Egg--just fabulous.
Let us know your thoughts! Do you agree with our choices?
Yes… The Wayfare brand sour cream is by far the best!
@@EmiWoodScully wish more people knew about their brand
@@MakeItDairyFree I honestly haven’t tried a lot of the items you mentioned. The one item I have tried and don’t agree with is the Daiya cutting board shreds. I don’t think they taste any better than their original cheese shreds 😬
However, I do buy the Daiya shreds and make a cheese sauce by adding nutritional yeast, vegan butter, cayenne, peeper, garlic powder, onion powder and oat milk (once in a while I’ll add liquid smoke).
My favorite butter is “I can’t believe it’s not butter, it’s vegan”!!!! Tastes just like the real fake stuff (to me anyways😆)
@@Ambirdy123 I agree! It’s the one I always buy.
Thank you for this!! I also wanted to say… You guys have the absolute best background… It’s gorgeous!
Aww thank you!
👍🏽👍🏽
You guys are putting so much time into this, way to go!!
Thanks so much!
I’m a brand new vegan and I love your videos!! They have been so helpful :) thank you!
How has it been going for you? I’m a new vegan/vegetarian I don’t know which one I want to be yet but I’m leaning towards vegan :)) I just know I’m not gonna be a meat eater 😙
love the shorter format! very informative too.
Glad you liked it!
I am so glad you mentioned the Country Crock butter. I usually grab the Earth Balance, but saw the Country Crock plant butter was cheaper, so I decided to give it a try. I was surprised at how good it was, because original Country Crock wasn’t very good.
It's really good for sure!
Agree! Original CC is gross to me. The almond oil and avocado oil ones are my favorite! The olive oil one is ok but not as good as the other two, I don’t think.
I'll have to try it.
A good idea, taking a break before trying vegan cheese.
My son has dairy and a nut allergy..I often tell him how lucky he is growing up at this time. I can't imagine how difficult it was for folks growing up even 10 years ago with food allergies. The interest in vegan foods for consumers has helped people with food allergies...We really enjoy your channel, you folks are super relaxing to watch and very informative...you really are providing a very valuable service.
It really sucked. It sucked like crazy the whole time my son was a kid. People would not understand he was allergic to meat Yep that’s right meat. Or buckwheat or anything with the large protein. I can’t tell you how many times I caught people trying to give him meat with him vigorously fighting it off. Also people trying to sneak it into his food. One of his college mates in China mixed some in with his food it took him several days to recover and it was just what was on her chopsticks.
@@rejn1420that's messed up that people would do that and so sad! Does your son have alpha-gal allergy? Or it's something else?
@@hcure4003 he was born that way. I guess with the alpha gal you have to be bit by a Lonestar tick. I’m glad it was me. That was a mom because I really am made for the job :-). Good luck.!🍀

Treeline is my favorite cheese!
That’s a good tip about waiting a month after going vegan to try the cheese 😂
haha it's so true about waiting though. Isn't treeline fabulous?

wowow i didn’t even know dairy free white chocolate chips existed i am so excited!!

Thank you!
Love Love love this video. You have saved me a lot of time and money. Keep them updated if anything new moves into first place.
Ya the cheeses really helped when becoming vegan! Next was milk but only cooked with silk soy milk. Couldn't drink it straight. Best drinking milk I found was Cali red label .
Thank you for all you do ! Love your content!!
You guys!!! I routinely use the just egg folded patties and gardein spicy breakfast sausages to make delish breakfast sandwiches for our new vegan household. I HIGHLY recommend letting the little gardein breakfast patties thaw on the counter, then combining two patties to form them into a bigger, better shape for the sandwiches. I do refreeze the sausages for about 30-45 minutes. It works great, I promise!! 2 breakfast sausage patties > one
What a great idea! Also lightlife has a ground vegan sausge (think Jimmy Dean tube style) and they make great hand rolled sausage patties!
@@MakeItDairyFree Lol I totally meant the beyond breakfast sausages but I think y'all know what I meant!! I'm def gonna try the lightlife sausage ground! Soy chorizo would probably be amazing too
@@kellyhall4104 ohhh yes to the chorizo! yum!
Thank you for the suggestions! I've been all over dairy-free ice cream because I am lactose intolerant. I agree, Ben & Jerry's is the best and an extremely close second is the Avocado brand in the dark chocolate flavor! Downside, it's about $7 a pint but it is Soooo worth it! 😉
You're welcome
Thanks so much for all these great suggestions! I agree with you about the Gardein products too! I finally found my favorite vegan yogurt at Trader Joes. It's a plain yougurt made of cashews and honestly it's become a substitute for sour cream too and I love it one a baked potato!
That's awesome!
Kala namak also taste good if you want to make unsweetened lemonade in summer and on some fruits specially on freshly cut apples
I think you all are spot on with most of everything. Beyond Meat is the Best one out htere and so good!. One thing you did miss was how great Gardein is! You missed 2 of their best products, the Fishless fillets and the Crabless Cakes, both so good, I fool my whole family with them and they cant believe it, they are so yummy and accessible!!!
They both really are good! We were just trying to use things we already had from other videos haha, but we've had both!
Great video and great idea. I totally agree with that yogurt. I’ve found quite a few different vegan yogurts that I like, but that one is by far the best!
Thanks!
You have to try Brave Robot icecream! It is amazing! The texture and taste are great. My favorite is the PB N Fudge. It is a vanilla base with peanut butter and fudge swirls.
I have been vegetarian for 3 years now and I'm slowly substituting dairy. I think eggs will be the hardest for me. The milk and butter have been easy transitions for me so far and I kind of left those 3 years ago also but it's just the cheese that's been the hardest for me so this has been extremely helpful.
Hope you find some that you love!
Hands down best cream cheese and sour cream I've had is the Tofutti brand! They also have the best vanilla soy ice cram and a Better Pecan Ice Cream.
never had their ice cream!
Morning Star is hands down my fav American brand for vegan foods. I've tried Gardein, but I haven't found a product that I like, yet.
Be careful, I think a lot of morningstar is vegetarian not all vegan.
I’m new to this. Gardein ultimate chickn patty? Delicious if hot! After starts cooling off-not so much 😉
Love this I am 4 days in to a dairy free life.
I believe in good
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for this! I already bought the cheese and the breakfast sausages def gonna get the frozen pizza and many others from this list.
Hope you enjoy!
I found you guys 4 days ago and have been binge watching all of your episodes. I love to see black vegans and think you guys are so great. Thank you so much for all the taste test and recipes. I am truly in love with your channel. My only complaint is that I don’t like that he can’t be uncomfortable for a second and doesn’t mind if you are. We noticed it early on bits Its really evident in this video. Why wait to see if you are disgusted or get sick and save himself the same pain. I think if your in it together then suffer in the trenches together. Just something that my husband and I picked up on. Other that that again we thank you for all the knowledge you guys provide!
So glad you did this!!! My daughter is bringing home her new boyfriend for the holidays. She says "he's the one"! He is vegan and I was at a loss. This was super informative and the perfect pace. Very helpful stating what stores you purchased products. Great video!!!
So happy that you are willing to help him. That's so sweet of you. Feel free to email us at makeitdairyfreetoday@gmail.com and we can help you with some holiday meal recipes!
@@MakeItDairyFree I just sent them both your link to subscribe!!! Told them to choose recipes. I'll let you know how it goes. Happy Holidays!!!
Loved the pace of this video! No hate, but I find the longer ones hard to get through, especially the observations on ingredients and allergens. I'm sure some people appreciate. This moved along at a great clip that held my attention.
Thanks for the feedback!
Got diagnosed with celiac 5yrs ago so gluten free options have been hit or miss and I’ve had years of experience but recently decided to fully convert to dairy free as I’ve heard how much damage vs good dairy truly does for us...so only 3 wks in and my two favorite dairy free items so far (my kiddos approved as well) is So Delicious Dairy Free Plant Based Mozzarella Style Shreds (great on homemade pizzas/topping or mixing in for pasta night/quesadillas) and Miyoko’s Creamery Savory Scallion Cream Cheese
I actually work for lightlife. The company is in Turners falls Massachusetts So crazy to see how popular it really is. I never noticed it much before working there ... but they say it’s the baader-meinhof phenomenon. “When you recently learn something and suddenly it’s everywhere”
Glad to see you like it!
oh what a fun company to work for! They are coming out with so many great products!
This video is my first step to becoming a Vegan and this is a health transition not only for me but my future family.
Excellent!!!! Very helpful!!! I love making the frozen banana ice cream with frozen fruit, but.... I know it's nice to still have non dairy store bought options as well.... I also recommend the provolone slices you mentioned... Super yummy
You two are awesome! I love the approach to this video 🧡 It was to the point and personal. Thank you 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are absolutely correct about Gardein and Lightlife brand foods. They taste so good. I do like the ingredients in the Field Roast hot dog, but I don’t like the taste and texture. I prefer a Lightlife hot dog. The Chobani brand vegan yogurts are excellent, but they are difficult to find. I prefer the Amy’s and American Flatbread brands vegan pizzas. Thanks so much for keeping the time on this video shorter. You did a FABULOUS job!
For deli slices: field roast mushroom and balsamic deli slices
Vio life rocks the boat in slices, Parm , cream cheese and shreds, follow your heart parmesan. And kite hill for sour cream and ricotta!! 😋
Loving what you guys are doing!! I did like the speed of this one. I like a lot of the food choices. I have tried most of what you guys have suggested. Can you discuss supplements? Do you guys take supplements especially for vitamin B? Thanks for all that you guys do!!
Thanks for the feedback. We take vitamin b12 spray, a multivitamin, vegan omega supplement and magnesium. I'll try to get something together on what we take and why. but just wanted to answer quickly
Love this video. Firstly, I prefer a shorter video just because of time management. I’m vegetarian and hopefully one day I’ll make the full transition. I love the impossible burger the best with a little smoked flavoring for seasoning. The gardien is my second favorite. I’ve yet to try the chicken alternatives so I will give them a try. Thank you.
I love your guys content, and I feel like you have some great recommendations.
As someone just starting this journey, thank you so much!!
You're so welcome
Vialife mature cheddar slices on Aldi keto white bread with Hellmann’s vegan spread on the outside to grill. An amazing grilled cheese! 😋
Fantastic video and just what I needed🙌🏾New vegan here so your recommendations for all of these categories are very helpful..Thanks so much, you guys are awesome❤
I love your videos. Highly informative and splendidly paced. I try to avoid the vegan faux meats because they are highly processed foods, which, of course, are not healthy choices, but you have convinced me to try the Ultimate Burger. Thanks.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed! Hope you enjoy the burgers. We have some delicious burgers on the website too that you may enjoy
I appreciate that you taste tested these lovely vegan food ..I love your new style as well ...thank you. GARDIEN ROCKS
Glad you like them!
I love the rarely seen "Ozo" brand of ground burger. I think the difference is that it is based on pea protein. The best by far. I also like "Morning Star" bacon and the grillers prime. I love, love the chik'n drumettes by "Yes" sold in Target sometimes. They are amazing!
Loved the variety of items featured. I am in the first stage of trying everything for the first time. I need a direction. Quite a few things have not been liked. Just Egg--just fabulous.
This is awesome thank you!!!! Have Been trying trying to figure out what to substitute with
