I enjoy vegetable omlets that I make with one egg & 2 egg whites. I also like most beans, and add them to salads if making it a meal on its own.
I did try some of the faux meats and did not like them at all. I'd rather find other ways to get protein in.
Oh! Peanut butter powder - lots less fat and calories than regular PB - works well in smoothies.
Yes, my favorite non-dairy cheeses are Kite Hill Almond Cream Cheese, which is actually fermented just like dairy cheese, but with almond milk, Field Roast Chao, with is also a naturally fermented product which tastes remarkably like cheese and Follow Your Heart American and Smoked Gouda slices.
I'm not a fan of Daiya...it reminds me of Velveeta, which I don't care for. Violife has made its way into our stores, but it's not as good as the Kite Hill products, IMHO. Kite Hill products are really good and not artificial.
PB powder is sooooo goood! I love it blended in a shake!
