healthy alternatives

ive been reading lately about how dairy isnt as good for you as everyone thought. milk depleats ur iron, and broccoli has more calcium that milk. cheese is just plain bad for you, and eggs are 70% fat. blahblah so if any of you are interested here are substitutes for milk, cheese, and butter. they all taste suprisingly good, ive tried them personally. the key to trying these things out is KNOWING its not going to taste like cheese, or milk.....you have to think of it as what it is... an ALTERNATIVE. think about replacing it and if it would satisfy the flavoring thats supposed to be there. if that makes sense.

i havent tried this rice one, ive only tried the almond cheese, but this is the only picture i could find close to it. same company and flavor just almonds not rice. i heard the jalapeno jack is the only one that honestly tastes like cheese.....and ive heard right. (havent tried other flavors tho) no GMOS (genetically modified organism), no aritficial flavors or ingreidents. my kind of cheese.


same issue, couldnt find the picture of the one in my fridge but i BELIEVE its the same maker. it tastes like "i cant believe its not butter." this is also a healthy substitute, theres no weird chemicals or anyting like margerine, no trans or saturated fat.


use this when you cook. it is canola oil that is compressed and added with natrual butter flavor. its so good that when i make pancakes and french toast i dont even add butter. thats crazy talk!
here are the ingredients.....

INGREDIENTS
Expeller Pressed Refined High Monounsaturate Canola Oil, Soy Lecithin, Propellant (no chlorofluorocarbons).

i know youve all seen this commercial and prolly think soy milk is sick, but honestly this is the best tasting one to me AND its organic. its hard to come around organic soy anything because its so heavily processed. so take advantage. the key to trying all these things out is
