Earth Balance's 90-calorie pressed oil spreads are made with as few ingredients as possible, offering vegan-friendly alternatives to butter, as well as other dairy-free spreads that contain a lot of ingredients, including fillers or additives. The trio of spreads are based on popular oil varieties, sharing a simple way to enjoy the spreads over toast or even in high-heat cooking.
The oils are whipped so that they become spreadable and their formulas contain no more than four ingredients—in the case of the Pressed Avocado Oil Spread, there's only avocado oil, sustainably sourced palm kernel oil and sea salt.
Thanks to the fact that these alternative spreads are made without pea protein, coconut and tree nuts, they have the potential to appeal to those with sensitivities to certain ingredients.
