Vegan Cream Cheese May Be Coming to Starbucks

Starbucks is currently testing vegan cream cheese at one of its locations in Issaquah, WA just outside of Seattle. Unlike its store brand alternative milks, the coffee chain is outsourcing this product and using Miyoko’s cashew-based cream cheese. The vegan schmear is offered in 1.5oz packages in either Everything or Cinnamon Raisin flavor—both exclusive to Starbucks. The news is in line with Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson’s recent declaration to take proactive measures to increase the chain’s sustainability and decrease its carbon footprint. Plant-based alternatives—such as the company’s partnership with Impossible Foods and the addition of oat milk to the menu—will make up a large part of these conscious efforts.

Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato Mac N Cheez Recipe

This uber creamy 20-minute vegan mac delivers the tang of sharp cheddar from a surprising source—sun-dried tomatoes! A few basil leaves add complexity to the flavors without making it taste “tomato basil-y.” I like to top it with hemp seeds for a little extra texture and nutrition, but that’s totally optional. Use chickpea or lentil pasta to make this mac ‘n cheez super healthy! Add a side of steamed green beans or broccoli for a complete meal.
