I'm not vegan, because I keep backsliding on cheese. And I don't really like vegan cheeses, because they seem mostly tasteless and, well, sort of cardboard-y. And also they don't seem to have much nutrients in them. Certainly hardly any protein.

Is there a vegan cheese, or equivalent, that has a reasonable amount of protein?

Thanks!

super specific, but does anyone have any suggestions?

I’m craving cheese Doritos 😫😫😫 help

Protein options are pretty easy to find with beans, lentils etc. Etc. But what do you use to replace things like cottage cheese, Greek yoghurt and so on. It’s like every single recipe I find has something like that in it and I’m still yet to find an alternative because for example the alternative of Greek yoghurt is like a coconut yoghurt but that doesn’t have any of the health benefits of the Greek yoghurt so it’s pointless besides the taste

I think the macro mike bots are gonna get all the new vegans to waste their money and eventually resent turning cuz its so "expensive" or whatever, this is out of control

looking to get some protein powder/shakes but was wondering which ones actually taste good?

Seems like a wheat version of TVP? I’ve seen it advertised on insta and it’s crazy expensive compared to tofu and TVP but so is like, macro Mike, and sometimes something good is worth it? I am too lazy to make my own seitan and wouldn’t mind another protein option because some days I feel “meh” towards all protein I have available.

My family is taking a 2 week trip to Australia in February and we would love to partake of the local food and culture while remaining completely plant-based and as chemical-free as possible. Any recommendations on good places to eat/shop? We are staying in Adelaide for several days and then traveling to the Coober Pedy and Silverton areas.

I’m hoping someone can help troubleshoot my first attempt at homemade soy yogurt.
Yesterday I tried making soy yogurt in my Breville Fast Slow GO (similar to an Instant Pot).
I used:
• 1 L Vitasoy High Protein soy milk
• 2 generous tablespoons of Aldi coconut yogurt as the starter
• Incubated at 43°C for about 12 to 14 hours
Unfortunately it didn’t thicken at all. It was still basically just soy milk.
I’m wondering if the Aldi coconut yogurt didn’t contain enough live bacteria to get the fermentation going.
For those of you who’ve successfully made soy yogurt:
• Have you used probiotic capsules as your starter? If so, which brand and strain(s) worked?
• If you’ve used a supermarket yogurt as a starter, which one worked well?
• Any other tips for getting a reliable, thick soy yogurt?
I’d really appreciate hearing what’s worked for you. Thanks!
