    Hi, raisay. Minichol isn’t ideal, as it contains sodium nitrite (a carcinogen). If you like it, be sure to eat it with a source of vitamin C, such as broccoli, red sweet bell pepper, citrus, strawberries, potatoes, etc.
    Each ounce (about 28 grams) is a protein exchange.

    Cheezly is excellent, especially the mozzarella (it has the most protein). Each ounce (28 grams) is 1/2 protein + 1 fat exchange.

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Are you able to find information about Bio Cheese? Is this healthy, suitable for a vegan diet? What would be the exchange info for this soy cheese product?

    Hi, Bio Cheese is fine as processed vegan cheeses go, though it has no protein.
    Have you tried making your own from natural ingredients? You may like these:
