I live in The Bahamas, so not only are the special vegan products pricey, finding some of them is a challenge. My husband is my motivation for joining in with this vegan kickstart plan. He is a cancer survivor, and has been wanting to go vegan for months. So, I told him I will start out with him, and see how it goes for me after the 21 days. One of my husband's biggest challenges is getting a decent butter substitute. If anyone can give me a really good substitute (for use on toast, grits, etc), I will really appreciate it. Thanks. BTW, I tried the veggieburger patties from NutritionMD today. There were great!

It has less than half the saturated fats of Earth Balance. It depends on how often and much you use. I use the Smart Balance on toast. I am glad to find out that Smart balance with Flax oil is vegan. That gives another option and that is always nice. Especially since Smart balance is on most grocery store shelves. www
