Question:

I would love to know a good vegan butter that's healthy or healthy(ish) and not margarine. Something good to go on toast.?

— Rachel Kemp

Answer:

All vegan butter technically speaking is margarine. So some of you have heard me talk about Carolina Malia lartisan Bakery in Miami. If you haven't looked at the website, do your mind will be blown her desserts are amazing. And she and I were talking one day and she kept and she makes class own and all kinds of things and she would kept saying modern and I said Carolina, it's vegan butter. She is just being honest butter is dairy butter is butter. These vegan Butters are margarine, but You know the healthy ish part has to do with what ingredients makes sense to you. Some have coconut some have cashew some have palm oil decide what works for you in terms of taste. You need to taste them. They all taste a bit different and I have I'm trying the only you know, there's only one that I don't like the taste of but I think you probably cannot go wrong with the Country Crock. Miyoko's. And I thought the Trader Joe's if you have a Trader Joe's near you. I thought that it was pretty pleasant, too. And I know this ohm. Is very nice. So try them, you know, very occasionally I'll have a little bit of vegan butter on a piece of toast or make cinnamon toast if I'm feeling Kind of like oh I missed I miss this from my past. But other than that.
