The Krypt Keeper Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 problem with most alternative milks is the calcium levels that are there. I have to avoid calcium as it causes me to to have kidney stones. I got some almost milk and compared the the % calcium to all brands and I was better off drinking regular milk than almond milk. Even orange juice has a big push with their 50% more added calcium. I just avoid real and fake dairy except for my morning coffee, little bit of half and half and the world is a better place. Half the time the 1qt container goes bad before I finish using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampNut Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 Wow, that's an interesting problem, when "everyone" tries to fortify things with calcium. Have you looked at the oat and coconut alternatives? I don't KNOW anything about their calcium levels, just suggesting you look. Coconut is particularly useful since it's aseptic, so you can buy a case and put it in the pantry. In stores it's in the section with other Tetra Pak products like shell stable juice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Look each time I go to different stores to compare brands. Looked at oat and almond so far and there was one brand that was close to real milk but a tad higher. Haven’t looked at coconut, will take a look next time I am at the store, I do have some non dairy vegan cream cheese for use on bagels, it is mainly water, coconut oil, potato starch. Normally doctor it up with some jalapeños or give a couple dashes of a hot sauce. Very bland by itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember to shake the hell out of it before use. Ashley recently bought some oat milk and it was right next to the half & half, I grabbed it not knowing, not a fan. After putting it back I saw the "shake well". I considered another try, but it was too early to deal with two cups of wierd stuff when I was hankering for a cup of coffee.

SwampNut Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 We don't put it in coffee, so no opinion there. But yeah, what you got was mostly water and the soluble additives. 15 hours ago, The Krypt Keeper said: I do have some non dairy vegan cream cheese for use on bagels, it is mainly water, coconut oil, potato starch. Normally doctor it up with some jalapeños or give a couple dashes of a hot sauce. Very bland by itself There is a monstrous variation in the quality and flavor of various non-dairy products. Kite Hill seems to be a consistent favorite here. I recently did a back to back test of sour creams, and it won, even over the dairy cream. It was actually more creamy and more tangy. But the Simple Truth supposed sour cream is more like a light cream cheese, and it was ok on a bagel. Nutritional yeast can turn up the cheesy tang plus provide solid nutrition. The Fry's/Kroger house brand fake shredded cheeses would never convince you they are cheese if you just eat them, but on/in something, they are the same as your basic cheap shredded cheese.

The Krypt Keeper Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Never heard or seen kite hill brand, there is a Harris Teeter and Wagmans further away that might have them. Got Food lion, kroger and publix nearest to me. Being I live in the sticks that means within 30 minutes, the others are closer to 50 minutes to an hour.

SwampNut Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Our Fry's is your Kroger, in general, but the specific items definitely vary by location. Our area seems to be at the forefront on animal replacement products, I've been surprised at the selection here. But go 30-some miles south to the South Phoenix/Maricopa area, and not so much. Another good sour cream and cheese option is Treeline, who ships, but it's pricey. I've chatted with their president and it's obvious they really care about quality.

SwampNut Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 LOL, fucking vegans. There's an argument about wether honey is vegan or not. The bees are not damaged, but, they are forced into slavery to make it. And supposedly when you "steal" the honey they work harder to make more. Hahahaha, and if you think I'm making that up, google it, no, they are that retarded. I love using the term "mostly vegan" because it draws out the nutty gatekeepers. "YOU CAN'T BE MOSTLY VEGAN." Mmmmm...fish on, let's go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very similar to a lot of videos you already post, so you're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
