Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Jul 2021 2:31pm, 25 Jul 2021 32,092 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Annoyingly my cholesterol is creeping up again which is rather disappointing, my diet is 100% plant based, well for 99.8% of the time at least, if I am out and nothing available to eat I will have dairy but this is rare. So, I need to make more changes, the only ‘high’ fat foods I have is vegan cheese (coconut oil) and plant based sausages (once a week) obviously sausage can go but cheese is far more difficult as practically all vegan cheeses available in supermarkets use coconut oil, does anyone know of alternatives?
Velociraptor Jul 2021 3:16pm, 25 Jul 2021 53,565 posts	0 Velociraptor What do you use the vegan cheese for, Mrs J? I agree that nutritionally it's hideous. Different substitutes will suit different uses. Though if I was managing my own heart disease risk, I'd take a statin in adequate dose and not be too ridid about diet.

JaJoKo Jul 2021 3:40pm, 25 Jul 2021 2 posts	0 JaJoKo I use this stuff - lovingitvegan.com To be honest it's not much like cheese (as in all vegan cheeses!) but the flavour is amazing!
Red Squirrel Jul 2021 8:37pm, 25 Jul 2021 21,966 posts	0 Red Squirrel How about nutritional yeast as a cheese substitute for soups and pasta; sprinkled on at the end? Pangritata is a nice thing to put on pasta too. Sometimes called poor person's parmesan.

Jenelopy Jul 2021 11:44pm, 25 Jul 2021 706 posts	0 Jenelopy I rarely have vegan cheese, but go for alternatives or nothing. Hummus is good in sandwiches, baked beans are good on toast, if you just want the flavour, then marmite or wholegrain mustard can be good. When I make pizza, I put (real) cheese on OHs half, and put homemade pesto (no cheese) on mine.
becca7 Jul 2021 7:36am, 26 Jul 2021 8,378 posts	0 becca7 Similar to Jenelopy. I mostly have hummus or peanut butter in place of cheese. If I have vegan cheese it’s just occasionally and I don’t eat it anything like as often as when I was veggie.
Velociraptor Aug 2021 2:40pm, 9 Aug 2021 53,730 posts	0 Velociraptor What's the state of the art plant milk for coffee at the moment please? I mean hot coffee-flavoured milky drinks rather than a splash of milk in a black coffee. I have guests arriving who are partial to such a thing. (I did ask, and the response was, "Thank you for thinking about it, anything will do.")
