Making the Switch

Soy margarines (that do not contain the dairy product whey) and soy yogurts are also available at most stores. The single analogue that has had the most trouble pleasing vegans is soy cheese. Several brands are available, but don’t expect it to taste exactly like your favorite cheese.

Daiya is a popular vegan cheese that is known for its cheese-like consistency and melting properties. There are several awesome cream cheese substitutes and no vegan refrigerator is complete without the mayonnaise substitute Veganaise.

You also may want to try out some of the recipes from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook. There are several brands of soy, rice, and coconut frozen desserts, while most supermarkets carry at least one brand.

The most important thing is to keep trying different things – try not to let one type of yogurt you dislike keep you from trying the others. Many meat and dairy alternatives taste so different from each other.
