Products we love
In our pantry
The plant-based products we keep in the kitchen, and what we use them for.
Staples
Nutritional Yeast
- Great flavor and great nutritional value. Goes with nearly everything
- Great B12 content
Cashews
- Must have for things like queso
- Can make really good cheese sauce for mac and cheese using cashew cream as a base
Follow Your Heart Vegenaise
Mayo substitute
- Comes in many flavors - the plain one tastes really good on sandwiches, wraps
- Can make your own dressings and spreads with this stuff - goes great on salads
- Can make really good tzatziki sauce - add some shredded cucumbers and dill
- Ketchup / vegenaise sauce on burgers is so good
Eggs
Just Egg
- Comes in a small pourable carton, which is great for making scrambled eggs and omelets and stuff like that. Cooks like real eggs.
- Comes frozen as a patty which is great for breakfast sandwiches.
Meat alternatives
Impossible Ground
- Comes in a ground beef looking container - we use this to make burgers, meatballs, sometimes we mix some of this with chickpeas and make really good falafel
Impossible Links
- Comes in many flavors. We like spicy Italian
Impossible Breakfast Sausage
- Comes in a bag of like 8 patties. So good on breakfast sandwiches with just egg patty and some Daiya oat milk cheddar cheese shred
Beyond Burgers
- Comes in a package of preformed burgers. These taste great, I prefer impossible but my parents and some other people I know prefer beyond
Beyond Links
- These come in spicy Italian and a few other flavors which I really enjoy
Beyond Breakfast Sausage
- Very good, just as good as the impossible breakfast sausage IMO
Impossible chicken patties / nuggets
- Jenna says these taste identical to real chicken patties and nuggets. We love these.
Daring chicken
- Comes in many flavors, unbreaded. These have great protein and nutrition value, so we try to eat these a lot. They cook up really well and go great in wraps. They also take any flavor you give them, so you can make orange chicken / broccoli and stuff like that with these.
Butter
Miyoko’s butter
- Has a strong buttery flavor which I really enjoy. Some people find it too strong.
Earth Balance Butter
- More subtle than the Miyoko’s. Very good flavor.
Cheese
Daiya oat milk cheddar
- Melts really well, very good flavor
Violife mozzarella
- Best tasting vegan mozzarella and goes great on pizza
