Here at The Creative Kitchen, we LOVE cheese! It’s great as a snack on its own, or a delicious addition to many of our favorite meals! However, we realize that not everyone is able to indulge in cheese, so if you’re looking for a lactose-free, allergy-friendly cheese alternative, try Go Veggie! Their Grated Parmesan is the perfect product to sprinkle on top of your favorite dish. It’s 100% plant-based, non-GMO, and has double the calcium compared to ordinary cheese. Plus it tastes amazing! Go Veggie Grated Parmesan is a great product to have in your pantry if you have family members who are dairy-free or vegan, so that everyone can indulge in cheesy goodness anytime they want!

The Creative Kitchen is happy to have Go Veggie as a sponsor for one of our Whole Foods Market cooking classes the week of August 20th! Learn more at www.thecreativekitchen.com/calendar.

From the Mouth of a Kid:

Yummy! It tastes so good on top of my spaghetti!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

With lactose intolerant children, it can be hard to find cheese alternatives that they actually enjoy. This is why I love Go Veggie’s dairy-free Grated Parmesan! Not only does it taste great, but it’s a better option for my kids, and they find it so delicious! I am not lactose intolerant, but I love experimenting with plant-based products here and there, and this is one of the best cheese alternatives I’ve tried in a while. It’s very versatile – I use it on pasta, chicken, soups, and so much more, and my kids just love it! Also, I can’t believe that it has more calcium than regular parmesan cheese. Go Veggie Grated Parmesan has become a staple in our house!

Flavorful Features:

Go Veggie Grated Parmesan comes in two options to enjoy: Lactose-Free and Vegan.

The Icing on the Cake:

When Gabriel Wolff was seventeen years old, he was diagnosed with celiac disease and dairy intolerance. Not willing to give up ice cream, he set off to discover the perfect substitute. When he could not find one, he developed one. It took five years of care and research for him to create Wink Frozen Desserts. Wink Frozen Desserts was specifically created for those like Wolff who cannot enjoy ice cream because of dietary restrictions. Wolff’s ice cream is free of fat, sugar, gluten, soy, nuts, diary, and eggs, and is only 100 calories a pint (that’s 25 calories per serving!). Now, the delicious flavor and joy that comes from eating ice cream can be shared with everyone in your family!

From the Mouth of a Kid:

It’s my favorite dessert! I wish I could have it all day long!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

There are so many advantages to Wink Frozen Desserts. It is allergen-free, so even though my child has allergies, he can still have a tasty treat with the rest of the family. It’s also great for the rest of my family because we can still enjoy the same taste and creaminess that comes from dairy based ice cream without the calories or artificial flavors.

Flavorful Features

Ice cream flavors include:

• Cake Batter
• Cinnamon Bun
• Cocoa-Dough
• Iced Latte

The Icing on the Cake:
