So… you’re skirting around the idea of eating fewer animal products or cutting it out on the whole. Nowadays there are many products available that can make that transition easier. Taste varies, so buy small to try out different brands before committing.

Here are a view vegan dairy substitutes that the author of Plant Based Recipe Cookbook, Justin Kaye recommends.

I recommend products that I would use myself and all opinions expressed here are my own. This post contains affiliate links that cost you nothing. I may earn a small commission if you click on them.

Vegan Milk Substitutes

Commercial nondairy milk comes in many flavors and varieties, including soymilk, rice milk, oat milk, coconut milk, and nut milk. Different brands vary in thickness, sweetness, and taste, so sample a variety to find your preference. Or try making your own.

Margarine

Not all brands of margarine are vegan—some contain dairy products—so be sure to read the ingredients. Earth Balance brand is vegan, nonhydrogenated, and all-natural, and also comes in a soy-free version. Some types of margarine are not suitable for baking, so check the label.

Cream Cheese

Tofutti and Galaxy brands make vegan cream cheese, available in tubs in the refrigerator section of natural
food stores and some supermarkets. It comes in several flavors (plain, French onion, garlic, herb,
etc.) and can be used as a spread or in cooking and baking.

Cream

MimicCreme, a dairy and soy-free cream substitute made from nuts, is available in some natural food
stores and comes in sweetened and unsweetened versions. You can also make an easy cashew cream that substitutes well for cream in any recipe.

Yogurt

Yogurt made from cultured soy, coconut, or almond milk is available in dairy sections in a variety of flavors. Use plain soy yogurt for the most neutral flavor in recipes.

About Justin Kaye

Writing this book has been a very exciting experience to take on, and it is the result of spending years experimenting with healthy food choices over the years.

I’ve been a vegan for over 2 years now and it took me a while to get used to eating a whole, food plant-based diet and the tasty recipes that you will find in this book. But now brands like Tofurkey, Gardein, Beyond Meat, Tofutti, and so many more came out with meat substitutes that can make cooking a lot more fun, tasty, and quick!

In this book, you will find the total estimated macronutrient for each recipe. What are macronutrients? Macronutrients are nutrients required in large amounts, for example, protein, carbohydrates, and fats.

Macronutrients are essential in our diet because each macro plays a vital part in the human diet, especially for muscle building and weight loss. Switching to a whole food, Plant-based Vegan Diet was the best choice I made and I hope the recipes found in his book will help you perform better, recover faster, and feel great!
