Earth Balance Review
"As a fan of all things coconut, I discovered a new amazing product I can't get enough of - the Organic Coconut Spread from Earth Balance. I've been doing a lot of cooking and baking with coconut oil, so having some in an easily spreadable form was exactly what I was looking for. It's perfect for putting on a little toast, to pop your popcorn in, to spread over waffles or pancakes, bake cookies, with - you name it! There are so many benefits of coconut oil, I learn more ever day; and I'm happy to have found a product that makes it even easier to use with my everyday cooking. I even tried with some Thai stir-fry to add a different flavor, it blended so well with the spicy Thai flavors. There are so many possibilities to using this coconut spread."
"Earth Balance, known for its excellent vegan margarine, has recently expanded it line of vegan baking alternatives to include soy milk. Made from 100% organic, non-GMO soybeans, Earth Balance soy milk is quite comparable to my usual favorite brand, Silk. We tested the unsweetened version—trust us, this is the only kind you want to use in savory dishes—though it also comes in regular, vanilla, and chocolate varieties. It passed the cereal test with flying colors, and works well in backing and cooking. With as much calcium and vitamin D as regular milk with far less sugar, saturated fat, and cholesterol, Earth Balance soy milk makes a great alternative if you're lactose intolerant or follow a dairy-free diet."
"Earth Balance’s Creamy Natural Peanut Butter and Flaxseed is delicious! I tasted the true, fresh flavor of the peanuts with a hint of sweetness. Often natural peanut butters need to be stirred and can be a hassle because they separate out. This no-stir peanut butter is well-blended and has an elegant, creamy texture. Also unlike many natural peanut butters, this creamy peanut butter is not grainy or dry. It’s moist and very smooth. With added Omega-3 benefits from flaxseed, this peanut butter is super healthy! Also, it incorporates Agave syrup, a nice alternative to sugar—which is often used in peanut butter. The amount of sugar found in this peanut butter altogether is lower than that found in most peanut butters. I recommend this peanut butter to anyone seeking a rich, healthy treat without chemicals and preservatives."
"Earth Balance's new vegan Mindful Mayo is almost as good as the reigning champion of vegan mayo, Vegenaise. It contains almost identical ingredients, and has a slightly tangier, more acidic taste as Vegenaise, which compares well to regular mayo. Unlike Vegenaise, Mindful Mayo doesn't contain soy, which lends it a thinner, looser consistency. Both are egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and non-GMO, but we would go with Mindful Mayo if soy allergies are a concern. Those concerned with fat intake should skip it, though—it has the same calories and almost the same fat content as regular mayo, despite having zero cholesterol and very little saturated fat."
