Any Personal Recommendations for Healthy, Tasty, Non-Dairy Cheeses?

Any Personal Recommendations for “Healthy", Tasty, Non-Dairy 🚫 🐄 🐑 🐐 🦘 (Vegan) Cheeses? 🧀 🐁

Nearly fell out of chair 💺 when (non-V), cheese-loving 🥰 loved one requested ‘Vegan Cheese’ for sandwiches 🥪 & wraps 🌯 !! 😳 🙃

[After popping eyeballs 👀 back into head 🙈 , I raise query here as I’m not familiar with non-dairy cheese 🧀 foods (‘transition’ cheeses).]

I’ll google research 🔎 . But, in meantime, if you’ve ready recommendations at the tips of your fingers 💅 (or the tip of your tongue 👅 ), I’d very much appreciate hearing about them. 🙏 😌

[I follow WFPB plant-based 🆘 perspective (Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Michael Klaper, Dr. Michael Greger, T. Colin Campbell, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr. Alan Goldhamer, et. al.), so the lower the [Salt Oil Sugar] the better. 👍👍 ]

Thank you kindly, in advance, for any 🧀 recommendations you’d like to share.

☺️ 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

For non dairy cheeses I have used daiya. Which is great if being melted. Says vegan on their website. I just began using Lisanatti Almond Cheese. It is dairy free but not vegan as it uses casein. Great for snacking.

Thank you kindly, doglover2019 ( 🐶 🥰 2️⃣0️⃣1️⃣9️⃣ ).

Will explore daiya, but may pass by Lisanatti Almond Cheese (because of casein). Appreciate heads up. ☺️ 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞

Hi Kai--

I don't have any experience of trying the Non-Dairy Cheeses - but if I come across anything I will certainly add it to this post.

I hope you find some that you like.

Glad you liked it Kai-- - I am looking forward to some more of it tonight, with some pre-cooked wholemeal pasta this time in a bake. So should be tasty too.
