The fact that they make fungi-based food using NASA-inspired technology and volcanic microbes from Yellowstone makes the sci-fi nerd in jump up for joy. I was really looking forward to trying Nature’s Fynd.

Not very imaginative if you ask me.Ĭons: This is definitely the priciest of all the options on the list. Typically, cream cheese packaging is mainly white because cream cheese is, well, white.

It’s also really important to underline that if someone has a dairy or they allergy, this product will not be suitable for them. I will say that I feel these guys should be in a category of their own because it’s almost unfair to compare animal-free dairy with plant-based dairy. This strawberry cream cheese has got me thinking of all types of baking possibilities, like a vegan warm butter cake or a strawberry cheesecake. I mean I love strawberries and I love cream cheese so match made in heaven truly. The Harissa Pepper cream cheese has just the perfect amount of spiciness to allow the pepper flavor to really come through and win over folks who can’t handle spicy foods like me. I really thought Spring Onion & Chive would be my favorite, but I was impressed with the other two flavors too. Modern Kitchen’s cream cheese comes in three flavors: Spring Onion & Chive, Harissa Pepper, and Strawberry – and I tried them all. It’s animal-free, in other words, guilt-free with the same great cream cheese taste we all know and love. If you’re someone who doesn’t want to have to sacrifice one iota in taste when it comes to your plant-based eating habits, this is most definitely the cream cheese for you.

It is the first animal-free dairy cream cheese on the market and how can it not be perfect, pun intended, when it’s dairy cream cheese, right? Well, spoiler alert, it is perfect. But what you may not know is that Perfect Day’s 2nd animal-free dairy brand, Modern Kitchen has launched a line of cream cheese currently selling DTC. You may be familiar with their ice cream sold under The Urgent Company brand. Unless you live under a rock, you already know how Perfect Day revolutionized the alt protein industry with its bio-identical dairy proteins made via precision fermentation.

Clearly, gone are the days when the only vegan cream cheese option was Tofutti and I, for one, am pretty psyched about that. Tough job I know, but I’m just the gal for it! Not one cream cheese on this list is 100% like the other, which is exactly how it should be since you have your dairy-free, animal-free, fermentation-based, nut-based, hemp-based…. To prove I’m right, I tried as many different kinds as I could get my taste buds on. Not all cream cheese is made equal, so why should it be any different when it comes to alt protein cream cheese? There’s an array of choices on the market these days from mild to tangy, spreadable to whipped, and savory to sweet. If you poll every one of your friends on what their favorite cream cheese is, you will not get anywhere near consensus. Not every alt protein cream cheese is made equal and that’s a great thing!
