Vegan Butters with No Palm Oil

Veggie Eats

plant based artisan honea butter

Most of us like butter, but there are issues. If you eat dairy butter, then choose brands from free-range farms (ideally that don’t shoot the baby calves, as happens in a lot of the industry). Even better is to make your own vegan butter  (recipes below). But most people will buy it, so here are some brands free from palm oil (you’ll have to recycle the packaging with household waset or at supermarket bag recycling bins). Use them in baked goods, or on toast and baked potatoes. Plant-Based Artisan Honea Butter is made with cashew nuts and cocoa butter, ideal with sourdough bread and crumpets. Keep in the fridge.

Keep vegan butters away from pets, as some contain toxic ingredients like nuts, garlic, chives. Never give birds ‘fatty foods’ like buttered sandwiches/fat as this can affect waterproofing/insulation of feathers (dry stale bread can choke). See how to help our garden birds for info on what safely (occasionally) feed our feathered friends.

Make Your Own Vegan Butter

vegan butter recipe

Vegan Butter (So Vegan) is made with soy milk and coconut oil, and uses carrot juice for the colour (less overpowering than turmeric for taste). You can use other plant milks, but these guys say soy milk words better for a creamy butter (lasts up to 2 weeks in the fridge, or freeze and defrost in smaller blocks).

the best vegan cultured butter

Vegan Cultured Butter (Full of Plants) looks and tastes just like dairy butter. This recipe was created by a French chef and uses raw cashews, coconut oil, liquid sunflower lecithin and a probiotic, to replicate the taste. Made a bit like cheese, the cashew milk is fermented to recreate the texture and flavour of real butter.

garlic and herb vegan butter

Garlic & Herb Compound Butter (So Vegan) is made with fresh dill, but you can alternatively use other herbs like parsley, thyme or chives. You can also add more garlic or lemon juice, or less of each. It’s up to you!

homemade coconut butter

Homemade Coconut Butter (Lazy Cat Kitchen) is a simple recipe that just uses dessicated coconut and a food process or blender. Ideal for making desserts, cookies an truffles, instead of a vegan block butter or drizzled on pancakes or waffles.

We are the first generations to grow up surrounded by evidence, that our attempt to separate ourselves from nature has been a failure.

I wonder if every animal is a spirit. If they are all spirits sent to you? And how you treat them, is what you are.
