    Trader Joe’s Vegan Buttery Spread is an Affordable European-Style Alternative

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on February 18, 2022 Dairy-Free Butter Reviews (Spreads, Sticks & Oils), Product Reviews

    It’s hard to argue that Miyoko’s makes one of the most delicious vegan butter alternatives. When it comes to straight up buttery goodness, it wins over dairy and non-dairy eaters alike. But it’s expensive and a little too firm in some baking applications. Enter Trader Joe’s Vegan Buttery Spread. It’s similar in flavor and rich mouthfeel, but just a smidgen softer for spreading, cooking, and baking. And for the gourmet taste, it has a more modest price.

    And there’s one more thing Trader Joe’s has over Miyoko’s. It’s generally less allergenic. Both brands do use coconut oil (sorry my coconut-free readers!), but instead of cashews, Trader Joe’s Vegan Buttery Spread uses sheanut butter. Shea nut is still technically a tree nut, but studies have shown it to be a very rare allergen, even for people with tree nut allergies.

    In terms of taste, we think this unique formula is a winner. With just a touch of salt and all the richness of butter. But be sure to leave your own rating and review below once you try it!

    Tastes like butter!

    Rated 5 out of 5

    I only tried the salted kind at a friend’s house (I don’t know if they make unsalted). It is not too heavily salted which I find to be a plus. Still more expensive than butter, but as an alternative I think it is very good.

    Better than Earth Balance but not as good as Miyokos

    TJs used to carry Miyokos at a reasonable price. Then they got their own. It’s not as buttery as Miyokos but it’s better than Earth Balance. After a couple of tries I’m going back to Miyokos.

    The only one with 5* in my opinion

    I have tried all of the top rated ones Mykonos Vegan butter. I don’t like the crumbly texture of it. The taste is good until mold starts to appear. At this time it smells like blue cheese. No thank you! Also it is the most expensive. I like Melt but the price of it has skyrocketed to sometimes over $5. The other highly rated ones are good like Melt but overpriced. The first taste of Trader Joe’s Vegan Buttery spread I knew it was the closest to real butter. Price is always $3.99. The winner in my opinion.

    A perfect vegan sub for butter

    This product is tasty, has a nice texture, and even tolerates high heat. We are trying to reduce our dairy intake, and this is one product that will always be in our fridge. Very friendly ingredients, it’s not ‘scary’ like some margarines and other non-dairy butter substitutes.
