ABSOLUTE ASCENDANCY

Commencing operation . . .

Overview

I think you will be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t like cheese. It is considered a highly desirable food, with some research suggesting that it is as addictive as hard drugs. I do not think that is the case, but then I have never done hard drugs, so I cannot make a valid comparison!

Anyway, in this article, I am going to run through my stance on substitute products and then talk about one of the alternative foods I have begun using recently.

Substitute Products

Now I know there are people out there who desire to be vegetarian but do not want to relinquish the taste of meat. They turn to meat substitute products such as Quorn, to satisfy their cravings while staying within the rules. Likewise, some vegans defer to vegan cheese, to fulfil cheese cravings.

I cannot entirely agree with this concept of using substitute food to satisfy cravings that you are trying to turn away from. If you cannot muster the willpower to transition without using your mind to keep your desires in check, I would argue that you should remain as you are.

Are you really conquering your cravings by using a substitute?

Sure, as an interim solution, you could use substitute foods while transitioning, with the long term aim of stepping away from alternative products completely. Otherwise, I do not see the point from an objective standpoint.

You aim to be free from meat or cheese, yet you cling to substitute products because you cannot let go completely? Forget it then, because sooner or later, you will go back to the real thing.

In my case, I suffer from a mild form of lactose intolerance, which is why I have turned my eye upon vegan cheese, as a way for me to enjoy the taste without suffering any drawbacks. With that said, allow me to introduce you to Violife vegan cheese!

Violife Vegan Cheese

I stumbled across this company while shopping for vegan cheese products, and I was blown away at how healthy their products are! I specifically want to talk about their original cheese spread, as that is what I currently consume.

Ingredients

Water, Coconut Oil (23%), Starch, Sea Salt, Acidity Regulator: Glucono-Delta-Lactone, Flavourings, Olive Extract, Vitamin B12.

My Thoughts

Barely any garbage ingredients, zero sugar, and while there is a lot of fat content (as you would expect), most of it comes from the coconut oil, which is a proven source of healthy fats. It is a shame that this cheese substitute ironically contains no protein at all, but I suppose you cannot have it all.

Conclusion

I combine my oatcakes with my cheese spread, and they pair exceptionally well together! I strongly recommend you try out Violife Vegan Cheese Spread and let me know how you get on if you do!
