Totally Tofutti Breakfast Bagels





















Totally Tofutti Breakfast Bagels

  • mini whole wheat bagels
  • Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese


Let me start off by saying that I am not a breakfast person.  At all.  I'm simply not that hungry when I first wake up and my appetite is strictly reserved for the several cups of necessary and life-fulfilling coffee I drink every morning.  Seriously the best part of waking up.  That doesn't mean that I don't like some breakfast foods and bagels are a pretty standard element in the breakfast food category.  Recently, while I was at the grocery store, I randomly decided to pick up some Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese (dairy-free cream cheese) and see if I can come up with a few recipes to try it in.

Clearly, what I did with the "cream cheese" is not a recipe and I did not get very creative with ways to veganize more traditional, cream based concoctions.  That can wait.  For now, I just wanted to give it a shot in a standard, breakfast bagel type of way.  I wasn't a huge fan of milk-based cream cheese when I used to eat it, and I'm pretty sure my feelings are about the same with the dairy-free version.  It's not bad, but it's not something to shout from the rooftops.  It's also a processed food, so if you're trying to stick with more whole foods, this would be a slight departure.  From what I can tell though, this appears to be a vegan product.   So, for all the lactose intolerant or vegan eaters out there who are into breakfast foods and miss cream cheese on bagels, this is for you.

If anyone has any recipes using this Tofutti cream cheese, please send them my way!! I'm looking for some suggestions.

Oh, and here's a photo of the product:

  2. Thanks! I try to keep it straightforward and simple because some blogs can get overwhelming with too many things to look at! I just want to talk about food! :)

    I drink my coffee black and have had it that way for about 10 years now. If I have it with soy milk or anything fancy, it's later in the day. What about you??

  4. Oh yeah, it's vegan. I usually get the non-hydrogenated kind with the yellow label. It's handy to have around when you want something creamy, a texture which I sometimes miss.

    I made a really good, very simple veggie dip using about 3 parts Tofutti cream cheese , 1 part Vegenaise, and a Knorr vegetable soup mix packet. Everyone in the office liked it. It made a good sandwich spread too.

    For the Super Bowl, I made a buffalo chicken dip that was awesome. I don't remember the exact recipe but I'm sure if you Google vegan buffalo chicken dip, it will come up. I used the cream cheese of course, Frank's Red Hot, garlic and onion powder, Vegenaise, and diced Lightlife tenders. It might also be tasty with steamed and crumbled tempeh, which goes very well with the buffalo sauce flavor.

  31. I don't leave a lot of remarks, but i did a few searching and wound up here "Totally Tofutti Breakfast Bagels". And I actually do have 2 questions for you if you tend not to mind. Is it just me or does it look like a few of these comments come across as if they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I'd like to keep up with everything new you have to post.

  36. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run
    into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
    My blog has a lot of completely unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any ways to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd
