Hi Everybody! Today, we’re doing something a little different, we’re gonna test out how 5 different vegan cheeses do on Mac & Cheese! Honestly, they were all …
Hi everyone, let me know if you liked this taste test and if so, what other things you'd like to see me test out! Thanks!!
Great video, informative, good quality and to the point. You deserve way more subs!
One thing I like to do, whether it be mac-n-cheese or pizza or lasagna, etc. is mix daiya and follow your heart together. FYH almost always has the flavor but its texture is often too soft. Daiya is generally too gloopy, but when mixed together you get the flavor and a better texture than either present on their own.
Wow awesome video! I love cheese lol. You should do similar vids for like vegan meats and such!
The Follow Your Heart Line of cheeses are amazing. Try their smoked gouda slices, vegan sour cream and vegan feta! I'm not a vegan myself but my husband can't have dairy. I have to have gluten free items myself so sometimes it's hard to find vegan and gluten free items. I would say these reviews are lacking a bit more detailed review, but appreciate someone putting forth the effort to give a side by side comparison. I find I do not like the products that reply heavily on a soy base. The cashew or coconut based items tend to be the creamiest and most like dairy products. The chickpea based ones can be very grainy.
I love you and your videos! Let's get you some more subscribers! 😊
Doing the Lord's work here man! Now all you need is a taste testing panel like ATK's to back you!
Do you just use vegan milk and the vegan cheese for the sauce? They all look amazing and I usually use a roux but yours looks perfect haha
I love moving the original flavor Chao and the Dayia mozzarella shreds with some salt and pepper and to me it tastes just like the Cheez Doodles white cheddar puffs! I used to eat those all the time as a kid so it’s such a nostalgic flavor
I love seeing taste tests, so know what brands to try, or to stay away from. I'm a big fan of Violife. I love their cheddar, and their parmesan. I haven't tried Follow Your Heart in a few years, so I will definitely try it again, if my store is out of Violife. Thank you for sharing. ☺
I prefer to shred the Daiya cheddar block instead of using the packaged shreds. Tastes better and behaves better. I've never been a fan of the taste of Chao. I also tried that Miyoko's cheese early this year when it was pretty new and I didn't like it, either. I heard that they are working on reformulating it, though.
How is this considered healthy and obviously isn't as highly processed
I love, love, love your videos!
"it's not bad. not my favorite,,,," the cutest, most respectful way to say you don't like it 😭
Of those I’ve had I like Daiya’s white cheddar best.
I tried dayas bacon mac & cheese once. It was so terrible we immediately returned to the store and exchange it for Kraft deluxe
Thanks for this! I never been a fan of daiya, except the frozen cheesecakes. My favorites are so delicious and violife. I like chao a lot,but for grilled cheese. I never knew they sold shreds; they must not be local to me
I’m intrigued by the chao tasting like butter when melted into a sauce… I bet it would be incredible mixed with another cheese like follow your heart or violife
I’d love to see you try some store brand’s vegan cheeses like Walmart’s, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Aldi’s, etc
Great video! Thanks for you honest opinions about the different vegan cheeses! Honestly my favorite recipe for vegan Mac n cheese is from The Farm cookbook and it's where you make a roux with flour and vegan butter or oil and then you add a whole bunch of nutritional yeast, tamari, and spices….then you bake the whole thing and it really comes together. I just like that you can make it with stuff you probably already have and it comes out super creamy!
Love this!! I had no idea you could just mix the cheeses and milk for a cheese sauce, thanks for reaching me 😊 I would have loved for each to get a rating out of 10 or something!
Nice to put a face to the voice on IG! Thank you for testing! I usually have FYH and Violife on hand
Hold on… one more bite… it’s not terrible
Ommmmmgggg 🤤
I like Violife, Chao, and So Delicious cheese 😬
Violife!! May try follow your heart.
Didn’t like the Myokos 🤮
Video production/editing is on point!
I like good planet foods is definitely the closest to dairy cheese in flavor, texture and melt
THANK YOU!!!!
I like Daiya's mexican blend more the cheddar one..
Woah, your non-voiceover, regular speaking voice. Burger Dude, you sound just like David Letterman.
I only like follow your heart. I tried cashew based sauce. It was grainy and nasty
I love violife and follow your heart!!!!!
the daiya cheese sauce is pretty good (not the best) but pretty good straight out of the packet!
I've been vegan for 11 years now, and I love all of those brands (except Daiya's shreds, their blocks and slices have really improved, but their shreds are still nasty), but I cannot make mac n cheese with them. It always makes me nauseous when they are in "sauce" form (I don't know why). I'd much rather make a plant-based (ie pumpkin, tofu, nut, potato, etc) "cheese sauce" and save the store-bought vegan cheeses for other things.
I think that aftertaste you can't pick out is from the anti-caking agent on shreds. I bet if you shredded the blocks it wouldn't be there
For "out of the box" i like Upton's Mac and Cheese, very similar to kraft, with their cheese whiz
Thanks so much for this! I've been craving a good, gooey vegan mac, and cheeses can be spendy! lol. I tried the Miyoko's, but also wasn't a big fan. I can't put my finger on that odd flavor either, but it's definitely there and no amount of spices helped. Follow Your Heart will be next!
Where do you get your sodium citrate? I'm not seeing it in your Amazon list, but I'm also on mobile and may be overlooking it. – And how deep was that carb como nap after this? XD hehehee.
Thanks again. Best of wishes!
I DEFINITELY agree that there's an "undertaste" or "aftertaste" (whatever ya wanna call it) with Daiya and Miyoko's. It's almost a baking soda-y, powdery taste like they're trying a little too hard to be cheese. I can't really explain it. Haven't tried the Chao because of the soy, but my mom loves that one.
Would block cheese be better in this application?
Have you tried any of the store brands? Walmart and Aldi brand surprisingly weren't bad when I tried them.
🧀🤤
Great review! I prefer the vegan cheeses made of chick peas or some type of plant versus a bunch of random unhealthy ingredients.
Love the taste tests! You're so cute! I'm wondering how these cheeses all stack up against cashew cream mac n cheese (my current favorite) or whole-food cheese sauce?
