wish i had a cute group of vegan friends like you guys

[@ronansullivan5036]

I guess im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

[@AmyGedgaudas]

I used to work for a vegan cheese company called Vtopian. They are a small (but growing!!!) Portland company and the cheeses are amazing! You can find them across the US, but they aren't as widely available as Miyoko's or Daiya... Yet! Some yummy favorites: Caramelized Onion Camembert, Peppercorn Brie, Chive & Dill, Roasted Red Pepper & Olive, and Spicy Cheddar, among others. Definitely seek them out in your area.

[@skywise8]

Do they have online sales?

[@kathleenswenning9915]

Wow thank you!

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Thanks. I live in Portland, will try them out!

[@vietanhtran6431]

That sound soooo good

[@hannahglenn5052]

Idk why but im so interested in these vegan food choices and im not even vegan. I have been binge watching vegan youtubers, because the stuff actually looks good!

[@extropiantranshuman]

New obsession lol - it's like looking at something exotic and weird because it's so intriguing and different. Hey, let's see how it turns out.

[@kellyglusovich6960]

Try it! vegan food can be so fun :)

[@YourVeganFallacyIs]

Ha! I'm put in mind of that old joke about vegans and cheese: This vegan tries out a dairy-free cheese, and is blown away by how spot-on it is. So he goes to his carnist friend and says, "Oh my god! This cheese is AMAZING! I'd forgotten what cheese tastes like -- you've GOT to try this!" His friend tries it, and is SO amazed. He looks back at his vegan friend and says, "I can't believe it! You're so right -- you HAVE forgotten what cheese tastes like!" *=oD* That aside, I'm a *_really big_* fan of Sheese brand vegan cheese. It's amazing - until I'd tried it, I'd forgotten what... well - you know...

[@yes2542]

Vegan 😂😂

[@samfinnegan4304]

Have y'all tried "Follow Your Heart"? I'll be honest, I found their products to be the most cheese-like. Their smoked gouda melted into a quesadilla is AMAZING.

[@amyeichel7486]

Sam Finnegan Follow Your Heart Is so look good on homemade pizzas.

[@samfinnegan4304]

Amy Eichel Yes, definitely!!!

[@NikkiVegan]

Sam Finnegan yes! Follow your heart is one of my all time favs! Love the pepper jack and the provolone 💚

[@kristinestaples7607]

I agree Follow Your Heart slices are amazing!

[@pgnlvr22b]

Yes yes & did I mention YES!

[@HeatherHolt]

I use that daiya cheddar in my broccoli and cheese and it’s amazing. The block is much better than the bag that comes pre shredded! Great video, can’t wait to try some of these other cheeses and “meats”!

[@Juice84]

Chao cheese is my favorite cheese brand right now. Awesome video, Ladies.

[@suzanjlellis]

Thank you ladies! Loved the video, definitely please do more of these taste testings, they help tremendously!

[@CaroCarrera]

So cool, girls time with food tasting 😍 I think we would be friends 😂

[@fortheloveofriley9747]

Can Nisha please give us recipes for all of these :) All of her ideas for eating these cheeses on sandwiches, etc. sounded so good!

[@thedude1971]

Fantastic video, love this show. You ladies are all wonderful!

[@naihomi143]

love how all of you also give recipe ideas with everything you try. you girls rock...

[@motorcyclehair]

Loving your show guys!!

[@MariahKay]

YUM!! I'm so excited to try out some of these foods!!

[@ZoeMayBlue]

Always so excited when you put out a new video!

[@eberkel]

This is so helpful! More videos like this please. 😊❤️

[@missy9223]

Nisha all of your ideas are genius!! I’m going to be making sandwiches for days now! 😋 I love the peppered tofurkey slices too!

[@aubreykoches7490]

Totally agree with the freshly grated tasting better than the packaged shredded! We always buy the blocks and shred it because it is soooo good!!

[@DamnTastyVegan]

This is such a great idea- a vegan The View! I love your channel. Keep it up

[@haleytice]

I use the Daiya cheddar block for nacho cheese. SO good. 😍

[@96IThomas]

Omg such a good idea for a channel! Creative. I love this!

[@livingwithcambriea]

I saw your link under Dairy-State Vegan. I'm so happy I found your page. 😍😍😍

[@jessicacolon5265]

Thanks to you guys I picked up the Chao Tomato Cayenne. It is SO good. Def will be good in a grilled cheese sandwich.

[@sidilicious11]

I love the Daiya Havartii jalapeño cheese. We've been buying some every week for the past year.

[@OliviaGreenhalghh]

Loved this!❤️

[@kaykaysmakeupbag]

It's funny because I used to eat salami slices by itself and loved them more in sandwiches. Going to whole foods today to search for that Yves brand

[@inagadda1976]

The jalapeño havarti is one I order every now and again. Love! The daiya cheddar block has been a fave for a while and it’s available at my Kroger. I have used it many times as Mac and cheese, grilled cheese and grated into vegan chili. For vegan sandwiches, tofurky nails it! I haven’t gotten a tofurky variety I haven’t liked. Salami isn’t a thing that I ate when I ate meat, so I have never tried veggie salami xo Davita

[@hiicam]

Y’all missed out not trying the Follow Your Heart slices or Parmesan shreds. It’s the best! Not necessarily a “cheese plate” cheese, though.

[@dianamendoza6829]

hiicam Parmesan shreds are amazing !!

[@nasjiaglenn1869]

The miyokos smoked farmhouse on toast with applebutter is so good!

[@sevnhana2898]

The Miyokos chive cream cheese is soooo good! Its amazing on toast. I also love the Chao original, i have never seen the other Chao flavors in stores near me.

[@TheSUPERHAPPY1]

Rebel Blossom Daiya Cream Cheese is gross (I’m never buying it again). I hope that kind is better - and that I can find it!

[@skywise8]

Miyoko is the best cheese.

[@ginaschlitz6337]

Great video! Would love to see So Delicious brand reviewed next time. Thanks!

[@jocelyncandace9753]

I love the smoked Miyokos smoked cheese, they have the best vegan cheese, good choice, also the peppered tofurky is the best tasting fake meat there is I think! This was a great video!

[@tomcottee2729]

Such a good video. Love your channel. Such great topics. I did hear kalel say daiya is very bad. She didn't like it and called for them to reformulate their cheese (they may have changed it since) She preferred field roast and follow your heart. Great to see what products you have over there in USA.

[@kekc171]

Miyoko’s cheeses are the best 👌 Her black ash one is my favorite!

[@noraapelgren4481]

I love this video! It is so fun to see how many vegan cheese and meat products are out there to try! :-)

[@MayraDairyFree]

Daiya cheeses have come such a long way now! Great flavour options :)

[@freeraindropblue]

I love that you tried the vegan cheese with the meat great way to taste test

[@wholefoodiebeauty5912]

The Miyokos mozzarella is really good melted on pizza 😍 it melts, bubbles and Browns! I bet it would be good in a caprese sandwich too!

[@laceyb.6617]

Follow Your Heart has amazing sliced cheeses (for cold sandwiches, grilled cheese, etc.) and So Delicious has the best shredded cheeses (for mac n cheese, quesadillas, tacos, etc.). Not cheese plate style but still so good! And I recently tried Tofurkey oven roasted turkey slices and Yves veggie pepperoni slices on a deli style sandwich with Follow Your Heart provolone cheese and it was incredible. So many vegan options for a variety of uses!

[@jamieburke4062]

Omg I totally want to eat a cheese plate with you four. My favorite vegan cheeses and meats put into a sandwich would be peppered tofurkey and Yves pepperoni on toasted multigrain with kite hill chive cream cheese and follow your heart provolone and lettuce and tomato. Soooo good

[@kcludwig2337]

More taste tests!! 😄❤️❤️

[@punkchica321]

This is really helpful! I've been a vegetarian for a long time but I've been very hesitant for this reason. I'm glad to see there's different options. Any idea if the blocks of cheese tend to be cheaper than the already sliced ones?

[@leahdelpezzo1364]

Tree nut cheese brand is really good! It's more of like a creamy/ brie like cheese, similar to Miyoko's cheeses. Also, Miyoko's smoked mozzarella is the absolute best vegan cheese ever. hands down. Love you beautiful ladies and I love the Vegan View!!! Favorite thing to watch lately

[@gwenspacey]

That jalapeño havarti is everything

[@kimmyjeans2]

loved this video. I would love to know everyones 2017 favorites

[@TheSUPERHAPPY1]

kimmyjeans2 Yeah! Favourite new food item, fashion item/company, favourite new celebrity who turned vegan

[@mesquitecervino249]

The treeline scalion cheese is amazing!

[@cherbear507]

I love daiya smoked Gouda on apple slices yum!

[@HannahWeseloh]

YUM! Will have to try!

[@mary-elizabeth1819]

Watching this, I felt like I was a part of "the finer things club" from *The Office*

[@micahholman8539]

Love it 😂😂

[@AmbeyPankake]

With that cayenne Chao cheese - I make cheez its with it! So good!

[@HannahWeseloh]

Amber Davis ok YUM

[@NicoLauren3]

My favorite cheese is from Follow Your Heart! It’s a white one... :D

[@NicoLauren3]

Also, y’all should try Punk Rawk Labs’ nut (cashew) cheese.

[@alexisfelice]

definitely feel this way about daiya! not bad, not the best. the cheddar (slices) they have do make an excellent grilled cheese though

[@ABetad-zw1px]

Thanks for the reviews ladies! Do you have any suggestions on vegan cream cheeses? I tried the Daiya and could not.🤢Also, have you ever thought of adding a cooking segment? Would love to see all your great energy collaborating-making,sharing, taste testing your favorite vegan recipes with each other and us. So fun! Congrats on baby #2 Dani! You're glowing. 😍

[@atramonte913]

I know a lot of vegans who love Kite Hill for cream cheese. I also personally like Tofutti cream cheese...both are delicious though!

[@lisacriswell6376]

A. Betad Kite Hill cream cheese is AMAZING! Highly recommend!

[@reachtrita]

Tofutti is really good! I make crab Rangoon with it and my family loves it! Daiya is the only brand that has that strange plasticky taste in some of their products (cream cheese, cheesecake, yogurt). Tofutti sour cream is pretty good, too.

[@juliannewelch5854]

Kite hill the best then toffuti cream cheese cause kite hill kinda expensive.

[@elliehsu6063]

definitely kite hill!! the chive flavor is my favorite :)

[@sharihardin1]

I would love for you all to do vegan cheese and deli meat recipe reviews. There's many vegan cheese and deli "meat" recipes I'm hesitant to make til I hear what others thought after making at home.

[@extropiantranshuman]

this is like looking at the LA county fair and seeing all the sour cream samples, but cheese

[@MeanderingMeagan4]

The Field Roast lentil and sage deli slices are sooo good. At first you kind of think it's ok, but then you eat the whole pack

[@MeanderingMeagan4]

I always say it'd be great in a grilled cheese but it never makes it past straight-out-of-the-bag

[@amyeichel7486]

MeanderingMeagan Field Roast is my favorite brand for sausages. However, the longer I'm vegan, the less I crave those meat flavors.

[@MeanderingMeagan4]

I think I am growing toward that as well - I have really been craving kale lately and I definitely notice my stomach is kinda sad if I eat something too greasy or processed. I prefer to use vegan meats as a small part of a meal

[@MeanderingMeagan4]

BUT that lentil loaf isn't really a faux meat, its literally lentils haha

[@kcludwig2337]

I’m waiting to be accepted into the fb group. I have a picture of my cheese board I NEED to show you! It was amazing! Thanks for the inspo ladies ❤️❤️❤️

[@HannahWeseloh]

KC Ludwig ah yay!!! Can’t wait to see :)

[@NishaBalsara]

I SEE YOU AND YOUR CHEESE BOARD

[@Neverlandishome]

I like how Nisha is tough to impress!! Haha #mostlynotimpressed

[@NishaBalsara]

UnderseaBooktuber hahah!! I take my plant based cheese and meat tasting very seriously!! 😂💚

[@KraveVlogs]

I haven't tried a vegan cheese I didn't like haha! I agree that you have to appreciate it for what it is and not expect it to be exactly like the "real" thing. Daiya is so much better now since it reformulated and Follow Your Heart cheese is probably my all around favorite brand!

[@yourbestselfuae1717]

Great channel! Keep up the good vibes :)

[@SarahSpices]

Loved this! My favorite cheese is cheezehound's fresh mozzarella.

[@TheWorldTeacher]

I just subscribed to your channel, Sarah.

[@NikkiVegan]

Sarah & Spices oooo never heard of cheezehounds!

[@wholefoodiebeauty5912]

Never heard of that one! Where do you get it at?

[@SarahSpices]

Reverend Eslam ty! I really appreciate it:)

[@SarahSpices]

NikkiVegan it’s so good! I think it’s only available in stores in NY and NJ right now. And it’s available to order on their website.

[@freeraindropblue]

The chao cheese is the best!

[@littlekeegan]

Anybody know if you can get these in any stores in the uk? I feel like we’re restricted over here? 😭

[@thefamilymixx]

And you're right I absolutely despise the Miyokos smoked cheese. I actually threw it away. The regular Miyokos mozzarella is life tho!!

[@MonochromeRainbowz]

Thanks for this episode! Cheese used to be my life but now it will have to be vegan cheese=life (so long as its in moderation since i plan to stick to a mostly whole foods diet). By the way, why didn't you guys just get some plates for yourselves?

[@terrianton3564]

Miyoko’s Sundried Tomato & Garlic spreadable is a 20!

[@wholefoodiebeauty5912]

Damn it, you ladies made me hungry for cheese! I made a quesadilla with the Aged Cheddar Nutcheese. SO GOOD!

[@juliannewelch5854]

I have not liked daiya shreds, or follow your heart slices , miyoka is a great brand. Chao white swiss slices is great for grilled cheese. Kite cream cheese is the best, tofutti sour cream awesome , tofutti cream cheese pretty good.. yet to find one great on pizza without a strange flavor. There is an awesome bologna one but can't remember name. Field roast roast is kinda good fried sliced.

[@Cjandlindseyland]

miyoko cheese is the king!!!if i see it i buy it!!!!!any flavor but her mozz is straight up carnivore approved ive slipped it in and they have enjoyed it

[@kevinjackson7061]

I just wanted to tell you beautiful ladies that y'all are awesome. I'm gonna try veganism, y'all inspire me. Can y'all help me get started? I'm having some problems with this high fat diet I've Been on. I want to be healthy long term. Your lifestyle must be working y'all are absolutely beautiful. Please help me, I've always been interested in plant based. I really need help to get started. Awesome channel, I'm tired of eating meat I want to feel good again. I'm an endurance and calistenics addict. 5percent bodyfat now, I heard plant based is perfect for endurance athlete's. God bless y'all. I'm completely converted to plant based . Love y'all.

[@butterflyqueen9260]

Cheese was one of the first itemz i bought. Some were a fail!

[@kristiananoel]

love this show but I really hope you guys figure out how to line up the sound with your different views from the camera. it seems to only match when its straight on

[@filzavaid5458]

I noticed this too!

[@pattilee6076]

Tree line cashew milk cheese!

[@susanhoppe7297]

I had a love for 5, 7 and 12 year old cheddar, and that kept me from being vegan for a while. And there is no way a vegan company can get to the level of sharp, gritty and oily that that is. But I love Miyokos and a local group here Raw Punk Cheese stuff.

[@haileybakes6840]

Omg this channel is so cool

[@HannahWeseloh]

Hailey bakes thank you! Welcome! 💗

[@extropiantranshuman]

2:06 I would say a lot of vegan foods taste better after being in the sun in the car for a few days to breakdown - otherwise it's too hard to eat it. Vegan food doesn't really go bad except after months, so it's still 'fresh'.

[@stephykinsable]

You girls should have bought Follow Your Heart! They have cheese blocks as well. And if I’m not mistaken, Kite Hill has spreadable cheese.

[@reneeburley137]

I like Daiya mozzarella 🧀

[@missiris1234]

I am available for food tasting any day! Cute ladies eating kind😊

[@first6867]

Awesome girls 👍

[@Samelia]

this is interesting..

[@sabinamurman8968]

I realllllly want to start making my own vegan cheeses :)

[@HannahWeseloh]

Vegan Sabina me too!! Nicole has made some on her channel before... I definitely want to try it.

[@sabinamurman8968]

Hannah Hagler awesome! I'll go check out how she did it! 💖💖💖💖

[@duanenash9474]

The animals say thank you for making veganism approachable to the masses!! Keep it up!!

[@brooke110]

i see a lot of the comments love Follow Your Heart cheddar slices. I’m in the process of going vegan and testing lots of vegan products, i have to say i didn’t like Follow Your Heart slices for grilled cheese. reminded me of plastic school lunch cheese and seemed flavorless. i am a HEAVY lover of sharp ass cheddar cheese. i liked the texture of FYH but it lacked the cheese sharpness i’m begging to find in a vegan cheese. FHY is good in a regular cold sandwich.... isssss okay. but i wish these products were sharper!

[@brooke110]

however, i did like miyokos. it’s the most like cow milk cheese.

[@user-bg8nv3vb6u]

Have you guys read stuff about how fig is like low key not vegan it doesn’t effect me because i don’t like figs but you guys should look into it its interesting just a thought :)

[@xtinkerbellax3]

You realize there's a chance there could be insect parts in any kind of packaged foods as well right? They're allowed up to a certain amount. That extent of strictness is more harmful than helpful imo.

[@sparkrunner1237]

not all figs are pollinated by wasps :-)

[@TheSUPERHAPPY1]

I’d LOVE to know what you think of the word “Vystopia” created by a Vegan Psychologist. (Many videos explaining the definition on youtube/google). I think the word can help people explain how they’re feeling in a world where animal cruelty is so commonplace

[@thefamilymixx]

Wow you girls crushed the Daiya farmhouse blocks😖 Meanwhile I've been obsessed with them since I first discovered them a few months back. Now I'm rethinking my entire palette. 🤔🤔🤔

[@jennylee9761]

Yves makes one of the nicest baloneys, imho. I don't know, I like Yves meats more than I used to, did they change THEIR recipes? (Maybe my soy taste buds are adjusting now, lol)

[@cokebottle86]

You were on Steve Harvey!

[@TheVeganView]

Yeah! Nicole and her sister were about two years ago ☺️

[@Osiwan960]

would've been cool if u all wore yellow/orange cheese colored shirts XD

[@joannemadore9042]

What is in these cheeses??

[@SarahSpices]

depends on the brand. Some are soy based, some are nut based, and others were coconut based.

[@beberoro1]

I feel like adding music to the background would be nice and would keep it interesting!

[@beberoro1]

i know what you mean, I just meant like if it was very low in the background because otherwise it's too too quite for me

[@lisaandbeans9645]

I make a smoke "salmon" (it's a marinated tomato) bagel with the miyokos smokehouse cheese.

[@HannahWeseloh]

lisa that sounds amazing!!

[@candleduck9339]

A male version of this should exist, called Dude Vegan or Vegan Dudes or something like that. Can talk about vegan athletes, what alcohol is vegan, best pub food, etc

[@HannahWeseloh]

Candle Duck we wanna have more male guests! If you have anyone in mind you wanna see, tell them about us! :)

[@livthedream91]

Hannah Hagler Maybe Vegan Zombie?

[@rodewest7]

can we have a vegan/popular celeb on here?, like vegan gains, freelee, kat von D, Alicia silverstone etc x

[@vanessadalli4833]

I live in Toronto and I found the most amazing vegan cheese. The company is called Gusta. I’m super picky with vegan cheeses and I have tried a lot but so far this is the only one that I like. It’s good cold and melts amazingly. I would 100% give it to a non vegan with confidence that they would enjoy it. #gustafood.com

[@daniellepage3858]

vegan boxed mac n cheese

[@kaitlynlodewikus7525]

I LOVE this channel so much, but the intro makes me cringe every time :) you guys are awesome!

[@ashleyelizabeth90]

I wonder what non vegans wound think

[@butterflygirl141]

“It’s so spicyyy” lmao, still a basic palette even as a vegan.
