When we made the transition to a plant-based diet there were a few things I just assumed I’d never eat again, Cream Cheese, Sour Cream, Shredded Cheese were all at the top of the list because we normally ate those weekly.
I’ve adapted well to going without dairy; but every now and again it is really nice to have a vegan option that reminds me of the old days. One company that makes those family favorite recipes possible again is Follow Your Heart.
I love having dairy-free options to enjoy. My boys call the shreds “pretend cheese” and keep asking for pretend cheese toast. We’ve poured the Vegan Gourmet Sour Cream and the Vegan Gourmet Shreds into our Bean and Grain Bowl Salads and WOW!
I’m making recipes all week using Follow Your Heart ingredients.

OOOO! I love cheesecake so it would be fun to try their products.
And, no, I’ve never had a vegan cheesecake. Thought my cheesecake days were over!
Me too Shanna! I’ve wanted to try some of those fantastic vegan cheesecakes made with nuts but my 2 year old has nut allergies so those are out for us! Good luck!
I love their cream cheese! There is nothing like a bagel and cream cheese for breakfast some mornings, and it’s great on veggie sandwiches too!
Good to know Kim. I haven’t tried their cream cheese yet but I have some. It’s been hard deciding what to do with it. Cream cheese is the only dairy product I really miss. As much as I try to enjoy nut better on a bagel it just isn’t the same thing.
I have never tried Vegan cheese.
Goodluck Stacey!
Ooohhh…yum!
interesting
As a newbie (3 months) to all this, I’m searching for products to keep my husband on board. This sounds like something that definitely would!
I would love this! I haven’t tried to make a vegan cheesecake either. Wow!
Sounds so yummy! I do miss cheesecake.
I’m surprised you haven’t created your own gourmet cheesecake by now Valerie!
I think this would be a good thing to try. We are slowly going vegetarian, as my children seem to tolerate that diet better.
We love all the Follow Your Heart products!! Our favorite product would be the grapeseed veganaise.I make a ranch dressing with it and the Follow your Heart sour cream. We also use the cream cheese for cooking ( my favorite being vegan cheesecake!)
I just made my Savory CHICKpea Salad with Veganaise. It is so good! I don’t buy it often but always enjoy it!
Wow. Vegan cheesecake? Would love 2 win!
I would like to try the sour cream. ..we eat a lot of Mexican!
Good Luck Kristen! We love Mexican too, as you can tell. My boys love the Follow Your Heart Sour Cream.
never tried. but i love the veganiaise!
Oh yum! I can’t remember the last time I ate cheesecake!!
Connie, The last time I tried Cheesecake I was 4 months into my plant-based diet and decided a little treat wouldn’t hurt. I was so wrong! I had so much inflammation I was in pain for 4 days. My husband had to stay home from work one day to care for the kiddos because I couldn’t lift them. Never again!
I love vegan cheesecake! I just made a wonderful one with a hazelnut crust a couple of weeks ago.
Oh my, hazelnut crust would be heaven on a vegan cheesecake!
I have made vegan cheesecake with nuts, but I have never tried a vegan cream cheese before. I would LOVE to try it!
I love vegan cheesecake! My favorite is Earth Cafe’s raw strawberry cheesecake.
I love this! And it would make a great xmas gift to..I have yet to perfect a sour cream recipe so thats what Im in most need of 🙂
This would be such a wonderful gift! Thanks for the giveaway.
This is a wonderful giveaway!!! Thank you !!
I wanted to add that I’m a big fan of follow your heart. The little store is not far from my house. The non dairy cheese was the first one I found and liked over ten years ago, when the inventor of it was at world fest.
I love FYH’s mozzarella bricks. They pretty much liquefy on pizza. So good!
I have some mozz shreds I’ve been wanting to try on pizza. 🙂 I was nervous to try but I think I’ll make it in the next few days.
I haven’t ever tried it but I LOVE cheesecake, so I’m really intrigued now!
I haven’t ever tried any of the Follow Your Heart products, but I would love to win some so that I can!
