This week I discovered Kite Hill's everything plant-based cream cheese (what a mouthful!) which will brighten my breakfasts quite a bit. Used sparingly, it's quite good on bagels. Vegan cream cheese alternatives tend to taste a little chalky, so if you want to try this one only use a little.
Breakfast is a particularly challenging meal for me. I eat a banana in the morning, but nearly all the other foods considered acceptable for the first meal of the day aren't on my diet list. Cold and hot cereals contain too much sugar. Bacon, eggs, and sausage are likewise out. Sometimes I'll have waffles or pancakes, but they're heavy. I get easily tired of toast and sugar-free jelly.
I've been thinking about trying to make my own crepes, but often I don't have the energy to cook right after I wake up. So to have a product that works nicely with bagels is great. :)

Since learning that I'm allergic to some milk products and it's not the proteins but something else in the milk, I've been trying to find alternatives for those things I used to take for granted. I tried the Toffutti Cream Cheese substitute. It's very chalky unlike some of their other things and I didn't like it at all. Unfortunately, I can't get this brand near me. I can't get a lot of substitutes near me. But I'll keep looking...
Daya brand vegan cream cheese isn't horrible if you can get that (although they all kind of taste a bit chalky to me.) The key is using it sparingly, I think.
