Best Vegan Products on the Market

Howdy!

Let us talk about the vegan products/ brands on the market. I’ll share my top 3 choices with you and why I love them as a chef and refer them as a coach.

Before I get into my top products and brands, I’ll take a quick moment to clarify the use of these products, which are becoming mainstream.

I’m sure we can all agree vegan products have evolved over the years from being flavorless and lacking appeal to a whole 360. There’re currently over a dozen vegan products that give us the visual appeal and have the flavor, taste, and texture of animal products some of us are used to. Companies have managed to simulate seafood, meats, eggs, milk, desserts, and more. The best part is they are all made from plants!

Yay, right?

Personally, I would say it’s a win because it allows people to build the confidence that plants can taste good. On the other hand, all the products on the market need to be consumed in moderation because although they are plant-based, they still have tons of unhealthy additives not good for the body. But I will save that topic for another blog.

During my coaching calls with a potential client, I always start with assessing what transformation level they are on. This allows me to build custom eating plans that will give each client winning results. Some clients are pass needed the products available on the market, and they want to start eating flavorful whole plants dishes. Other clients are just beginning to transition and therefore need the recipes using these products available on the market. When I talk with those clients, I make sure each knows those products must be treated as transitional products only. Meaning, they should use these products for a short while, and together we will monitor and assess them every week to make sure they are not using these products longer than we have to.

The same advice I give to you as the reader. I recommend you use these products as transition plant-based foods. Now that I coved that, here are my top three choices.

1) Beyond Meat
This brand is my absolute favorite. The quality of the product is mind-blowing to me. They cover all areas of visual appeal, texture, taste, flexibility, creativity, pricing, accessibility, and product line. Not only that but their company mission and practices I can stand behind and support.

Vegan Food and Living

2)JustEgg and JustMayo
This brand quickly became my favorite when I taste their mayo product. This is another company that passes all areas. They are outstanding with their JustEgg and JustMayo product visual appeal, texture, taste, pricing, accessibility, and quality. The JustEgg product is very silky, and the result always comes out just like the scrambled eggs or omelets I remember.

3) Daiya (dessert and cheese)

This brand made my top three because they are the only company that has master texture, taste, visual appeal, pricing, accessibility, all while the majority of their products are allergy-free. Bringing allergy-free products to the market is a big deal since over 40% of the population has some form of allergy. Daiya not only brought the products but also made them delicious.

Well, there you have it, folks! My top brand choices. Endless recipes you can make from these brands that I teach my clients. More importantly, there are so many other plant-based brands and products that I did not cover—great replacement for your breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and snack. So understand there is no longer an excise for not switching to a plant-based eating style. Don’t wait. Make the change now.

Look out for my blog about all the vegan “dairy” brands and products available on the market. Vegan cheese, yogurt, milk, etc. are now all available to us, and I will write about those another time.

Make the change now. If you are ready to transition your plate to plant-based and need a coach to help you build a winning strategy, schedule a call with me.

Talk to you soon!
