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:
