This lifestyle can seem restrictive. Getting over certain food cravings and / or addictions can be a challenge.
It seems people miss things like cheese, chocolate, crunchy things, salty things, flour things, ice cream, coffee, sugar, creamer, milk etc. Just the mention of the food item, a thought or a picture of it, can set off consuming thoughts and longing.
This is for those who are not lucky enough to be able to make up their minds and swear these foods off forever. Although it is best to taper off these foods as they are calorie dense, harmful to your health, make one eat more calories and do not help heal the addicted brain, here is some help for those in transition.
I wrote a few blogs to attack these Beasts. Today I will help you deal with Cheese.
Cheese
Cows milk is designed to grow a 70 pound calf into a 700 cow in 12 months (yes, even a grass fed cow). Cheese and ice cream are more concentrated versions of this growth formula.
Cheese is another addictive food. There are great recipes in our recipe page for creamy, vegan cheeses. These cheeses are great for recipes like vegan lasagna and fettuccine Alfredo.
Here are some great recipes to try:

Instant No-Cooking Travel Vegan Cheese Sauce
WFPB Cheese or Alfredo or Dressing Recipe
Melty Stretchy Gooey Vegan Nacho Cheese
Vegan cheeses in the grocery store are high in oil which is high in fat. I do not recommend this for those who are looking for heart health or want to achieve weight loss.
If you are addicted to cheese, I highly recommend reading this book by Dr. Neal Bernard, The Cheese Trap: How Breaking a Surprising Addiction Will Help You Lose Weight, Gain Energy, and Get Healthy
Next time, we will deal with crunchy cravings.
