Vegan Cheese Paleo Snack Packs Made Without Dairy
AshaPops Vegan Cheese is a paleo-friendly snack that opens with a popped water lily seed and closes with nutritional yeast, extra virgin olive oil, onion powder and sea salt. Five ingredients, and the savory, cheese-like taste comes from the yeast rather than from milk. The seeds are popped, never fried.
Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast sold as fine flakes, and it carries the cheesy note in this flavor. Onion powder and sea salt fill in behind it. There is no dairy anywhere on the ingredient list and no cheese powder in the coating.
Cheese puffs, curls and doodles are normally extruded from a flour base, usually corn, sometimes chickpea, lentil or cassava. AshaPops starts from a whole seed rather than a dough, which leaves the pack with no grain, no legume flour, no corn, no soy and no dairy.
This Multi-Pack is built from individually wrapped 0.5 oz bags. Each sealed bag lists 60 calories, 2 g of total fat, 70 mg of sodium, 2 g of protein and 0 g of added sugars, so the portion is settled before the bag is opened. The size fits a lunchbox, a desk drawer, a glove compartment or a carry-on.
Paleo-Friendly, Grain-Free and Dairy-Free
A paleo diet drops grains, legumes, dairy and refined sugar from the plate. A water lily seed is none of those. It is the seed of Euryale ferox, an aquatic plant, harvested whole and roasted with dry heat until it pops. The oil on this flavor is extra virgin olive oil. Canola and sunflower oil are not used.
