Amb_Bomer Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 So, I'm on day 5 of round 2. I've done really well both times without cheese. I'm not super missing it even still, almost 3 months later. And in between round 1 and 2 I could count the number of times I had cheese. But I do have a question. Could Daiya dairy free cheese products be considered compliant? I was thinking some "cheddar" would be nice on my sweet potato nachos. I think technically they would be compliant but maybe not in the full spirit of Whole 30.

If so, it would be non compliant and you're right, not at all in the spirit of Whole30. If you've reintroduced soy and have no issues with it, then it might be a fine addition to your personal food freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amb_Bomer Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 No soy. From memory its cassava and tapioca, maybe something else, with carrot for the color. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellmaestra Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Some people use Nutritional Yeast to get a "cheesy" sensation. (I haven't tried it, so I can't speak for it.) I Googled "Daiya Cheese" and one entry I found listed these ingredients: Filtered water, tapioca and /or arrowroot flours, non-GMO expeller pressed canola and /or non-GMO expeller pressed safflower oil, coconut oil, pea protein, salt, inactive yeast, vegan natural flavors, vegetable glycerin, xanthan gum, citric acid (for flavor), annatto, titanium dioxide.

Administrators ladyshanny Posted July 24, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2017 This ingredient list containing pea protein would not be Whole30 compliant. Also, eating a bunch of starches glued together with yeast, food-gums and oils would not be in keeping with the spirit of Whole30. Leave this product behind for 30 days.

Bellmaestra Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I guess to me that's the paradox of going vegan... it's one thing to eat a plant based diet; it's another thing to replace good whole foods with Frankenfood. Stephanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amb_Bomer Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 I know I know! Give. Up. The. Cheese!! And all dairy in fact. But I made my piece wth ice cream and milk like 10 years ago. I just always allowed cheese because it tastes so yummy! Although I don't crave it like I did when I started my first W30 in May. NSV for me!!!
