Yeah I mostly cook whole food but I just need those convenience meat replacements with my dinners. TVP, tofu- or seitan based burgers or sausages, chickpea-, lentil- and buckwheat-noodles and protein powders make it so much easier to get loads of protein than just lentils, peas and rice and keep me way more satiated. Oh sorry I called them burgers and sausages. I didn’t want to confuse the reader. I meant plant based protein sticks and circular shaped pellets ofc.



I don’t eat plant based cheese also I ate quite a lot of the real deal in the past. Maybe when I’m making Pizza or plant based circular shaped pellets within some buns but that’s very seldom. I just looked up what’s in violife and it’s got an equally short ingredient list:
Water, coconut oil (23%), modified starch, starch, sea salt, cheddar flavor, olive extract, colorings (paprika extract, beta-carotene), vitamin B12.
But yeah apart from the ominous cheddar flavor it seems very basic, too. Coconut oil should be consumed sparsely because it is “92% saturated fat and therefore raises cholesterol levels similar to animal fats (butter, lard). However, it contains a unique type of medium chain saturated fat called lauric acid that research shows raises HDL or ‘good’ cholesterol levels, which may lower overall heart disease risk.”
