When it comes to finding great vegan bagels, it’s really easy. However, the difficulty then comes from trying to find some great fillings for your lunchtime sandwiches.
Obviously, we can’t add Salmon, but we also can’t have any cream cheese, as it’s made using milk, which is a dairy product.
However, what you can use instead is vegan cream cheese, which is dairy free and safe for you to eat.
So if you want some cream cheese filled bagels that are going to be completely vegan, then follow our guide to some of the best vegan cream cheese brands out there:
What Is Vegan Cream Cheese Made With?
Many dairy-free vegan alternatives are often made using a wide variety of different products, some of them are made using plant-based kinds of milk, whether it’s soy, oat, coconut, or cashew milk.
This means that depending on which plant-based milk they contain, there’s a chance that they’ll taste very different from one another, so it’s all about finding the right one for you!
It’s also worth noting that vegan cream cheese isn’t really a healthy food option, many of the vegan cream cheese out there that you can buy in a store will contain preservatives, and definitely a lot of oil.
But, because they’re all made differently, it’s worth doing some research into each brand’s own recipe to decide which of these vegan cream cheese brands is going to be best suited for both your taste buds and your diet.
So, let’s have a look at what some of the most popular vegan cream cheese brands are, as well as where you can get your hands on them, and just remember that ingredient lists can change at any time, so always check before you buy.
