    Miyoko’s Vegan Cream Cheese Spreads it on Thick with 3 Classic Flavors

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on May 20, 2019 Dairy-Free Cheese Substitute Reviews, Product Reviews

    With only five ingredients, Miyoko’s Vegan Cream Cheese is the closest thing we’ve found to homemade. But unlike most recipes that use acidic ingredients to add tang, Miyoko cultures her cream cheese alternative for a more authentic flavor.

    Miyoko's Vegan Cream Cheese Spreads it on Thick with 3 Classic Flavors - Plainly Classic, Sensational Scallion, and Un-Lox Your Dreams - all plant-based, dairy-free, oil-free, and paleo

    Miyoko’s Vegan Cream Cheese Spreads it on Thick with 3 Classic Flavors

    All of Miyoko’s products are palm oil-free, but this line up is also completely oil-free. The creamy consistency comes from a paleo-friendly blend of cashews and coconut cream. We’ve got some notes on each flavor, but tell us what you think about this product too! Leave your review and rating below.

    Plainly Classic

    This is meant to be the most versatile flavor, for spreading on bagels, whipping into frosting, and creating “classic” dairy-free cheesecakes. But it is a little coconut-forward in flavor, and might night work perfectly for every cream cheese need. Nonetheless, it’s thick, rich, and will provide a nice consistency whether served cold or baked.

    Nutrition (per 1-ounce serving): 90 calories, 7g fat, 4g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g sugars, 3g protein.*

    Sensational Scallion

    Green onions and a dash of white pepper give this thick spread a savory flavor that is great on bagels, appetizers, or in recipes. It will even melt nicely into sauces.

    Un-Lox Your Dreams

    Seaweed and spiced give this schmear a seafood vibe. I’ve heard rave reviews from both vegans and non-vegans on the flavor, which is best for bagels and appetizers.

    Cheese Spread, NOT cream cheese

    Rated 2 out of 5
    September 1, 2021

    If you expect cream cheese, you will be disappointed. This is more of a vegan cheese spread. The flavor is fine, for a spread, as is the texture. But in no way, shape, or form does this remotely resemble cream cheese, either in texture or flavor. I am giving it two stars because I’ll still eat it on crackers, but I won’t be buying it again.

    I had to scrape it off my bagel

    Rated 1 out of 5
    August 9, 2021

    I put it on a small portion of the bagel to taste it and had to scrape it off. It was just nasty tasting. My cardiologist told me to go vegan so I’ve been trying all of these vegan substitutes. This is so far the worst of them. I had used the Myokos “butter” (we called it margarine back in the day) and it actually tasted pretty good so I’m not averse to all of them.

    Response from Go Dairy Free

    As a heads up, there is a difference between margarines and buttery spreads / sticks – and products like Miyoko’s don’t meet the standard/definition by the FDA to be classified as margarine -> https://www.godairyfree.org/food-and-grocery/buttery-spread-margarine-differences

    Surprisingly terrible

    I bought this because of the Miyoko’s label. People really like her vegan butter. But the cashew cream cheese was sour. I can make a tastier homemade cashew spread at home.

    Delicious!!

    I LOVE this stuff. To me, it’s more delicious than any other cream cheese, vegan or non-vegan.
    I also feed a little bit daily to my dog as a way to hide his medication and supplements. Much cheaper (and healthier) than dog Pill Pockets.
    He loves it too!

    Sour!

    I was shocked at the taste of the plain cream cheese. I re-read the label as I thought I must’ve accidentally purchased a weird flavor with lemon or something. I was going to make a dip with it, but I’m afraid it’s going in the garbage.

    tastes like solid yogurt

    April 12, 2021

    after trying and failing to find a good vegan cream cheese i finally found this brand in stores. the texture is fine i think the coconut just makes the flavor off. i personally dont really like coconut. this to me tasted like i was eating solid yogurt, it was very sour, not the experience i wanted when eating bagels.

    why the poor reviews?

    Rated 5 out of 5
    April 8, 2021

    This is good stuff and I am surprised by the poor ratings. I personally like my favor to carry a zing. I do not like the heavy, unctuous taste other cream cheeses have, including Tofutti which I find to have a plastic quality. So if you are like me, you should enjoy this bagel spread.

    Perfect Tangy Cream Cheese but not regular Cream Cheese

    Rated 4 out of 5
    March 30, 2021

    I love the Perfect Tangy flavor from the cultures it’s so good I wasn’t sure if it was supposed to be Tangy but didn’t want to stop eating it because I knew cultures with make stuff like that if not sweetened or blended with the right ingredient combo definitely an amazing and delicious tangy cream cheese alternative with amazingly basic ingredients but not a good alternative for regular Cream cheese which is why I give 4 stars as I do love the taste as a tangy alternative and when picked up at the grocery outlet or other discount stores or simply on sale/clearance its definitely worth the price it has a good cream cheese flavor with a nice tang to it so if you are into tangy cream cheese the classic plain definitely tastes like tangy cream cheese and is amazing just don’t expect something without tang.

    Myokos butter is outstanding, the best!

    Rated 2 out of 5

    But sadly the cream cheese is not. It’s tangy, almost sour, and that is not what cream cheese is supposed to taste like. It does have a cream cheese consistency for spreading.
    I’m sure it can be cooked into something but I’m not sure what and I hate throwing things out. I will not use it again on my bagels.
    The best vegan cream cheese is violife.
