This Trader Joe’s vegan cheese, cashew cheese slices are surprisingly delicious. It doesn’t taste exactly like regular dairy cheese of course, but it melts really well, and has a pretty nuanced cheese taste. This is perfect for people looking for a relatively affordable dairy free, vegan cheese alternative. TJs vegan cheese has been available both shredded and in slices for a few years now, and sells for significantly less than the equivalent does at places like Whole Foods or Fresh Market………….

Trader Joes vegan cream cheese
So it’s dairy free but has 3.5gm saturated fat per slice! 99% of people looking for dairy free are doing that to reduce their saturated fat intake. And yes, saturated fat from coconut oil has the same deleterious effect. This product is not much better in terms of fat than skim milk cheese. Dairy free cheese and ice cream should have zero saturated fat and zero cholesterol.
Not true at all.
Most vegans are vegans to reduce animal suffering.
He didn’t even mention vegans in his comment. I absolutely understand what he meant, as someone who just found out she now has high cholesterol. His point was that many people in that situation or who have heart disease switch to dairy-free cheese to improve their health. He’s absolutely right about the saturated fat content. Considering the 3.5 grams, I might as well keep eating regular dairy cheese.
