Updated September 2022! Don’t quote me on this, but Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream might have been the first dairy-free sour cream alternative on the market, so many years ago. Compared to many of the newer vegan alternatives, with all of their healthy ingredients and modern packaging designs, Tofutti looks downright old school. But it humbly remains one of the most popular vegan sour creams.
Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream is a Classic Dairy-Free Alternative
Honestly, I’ve never seen the guacamole flavor, but Tofutti told me it’s still out there. The Plain version with the blue tub is much easier to find.
Plain
Years ago, they made this Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream with hydrogenated oils, but they’ve discontinued that version. This one is made without expeller-pressed oils.
Ingredients: water, expeller processed natural oil blend (soybean, palm fruit, and olive), maltodexterin, non-gmo (soy protein, tofu), non-dairy lactic acid, organic sugar, blend of natural gums (locust bean, guar, cellulose and xanthan) and salt. contains: soy.
Nutrition (per 2 tablespoons): 85 calories, 5g fat, 9g carbs, 0g fiber, 2g sugars, 1g protein.*
Guacamole
This is more of a guacamole-flavored sour cream alternative, not actually guacamole with sour cream.
Ingredients: water, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, non-gmo isolated soy protein, maltodextrin, tofu, nondairy lactic acid, cellulose, locust bean, guar and carrageenan, gums, sugar, avocado flavor, spices, salt, veg. mono and giglycerides, potassium sorbate (added as a preservative). contains: soy.
