One of the newest creations from Trader Joe's is a dairy-free cream cheese that is made with a combination of coconut oil mixed with potato starch and chickpea protein to provide a smooth and spreadable base for the product that's completely free of animal-based products. The versatile Vegan Cream Cheese Alternative is just as perfect for spreading over bagels as it is pairing with crackers and freshly chopped vegetables, and it also has the potential to be used for plenty of sweet baking opportunites as well.
Trader Joe’s Vegan Cream Cheese Alternative made from various plant sources responds to the rise in consumers that prefer vegan and non-dairy products, regardless of their dietary needs or preferences.
