“....changing what we eat and how has to be a permanent change.” I absolutely love the direction you are going in and the fact that you are actively thinking about and following the process of your research. I tried chickpea pasta last week and the brand Banza was excellent. I was also surprised at a purchase at Whole Foods this weekend of their brand (365) plant based cheddar...a cheese alternative. The nutritional facts seemed similar to regular cheese with few ingredients and it actually tasted like cheese. It melted well on a veggie burger for my plant based food day. I also love mashed cauliflower and found a frozen version that has simple ingredients also.

May I suggest again that we all read labels when we shop. Too many of “vegan” and gluten free products are not healthy at all. Know where your food is sourced if possible.
Keep up the great adventure.
