"More Better Butter"

After shoveling Mac N Chreese into our faces for dinner tonight- we here at Meatless Fleet realized we must write about the importance of BUTTER.

Now that you're eating MeatFree do you miss its pale yellow sweet milky goodness? Of course you do! It's delicious and it sits atop every good breakfast food (show us a waffle without butter and a vexed Meatless Fleet we will be). 

So what's a good VEG to do?

Worry no more butter loving friends, Meatless Fleet has your solution and it comes in the form of a tub of
bestlife buttery spread.

With only 6 grams of fat per tablespoon and 60 calories, this butter substitute with zero trans fat will not only knock your socks off because it's made with plant sterols (which can help lower cholesterol) but also because it tastes ridiculously good! 

For the fact finders among us you should know this-most regular butters have 100+ calories in just one tablespoon and 7 grams of trans fat- that's a hell of a lot of artery clogging!

Moving on, many well intentioned meat eaters assume that if a brand of butter does not use milk fat or anything that comes directly from a cow you might as well be eating plastic... but serve them a platter of chocolate chip cookies made from this stuff and they truly won't know what hit them (seriously they won't, one meatless fleet member has a brother who swears the chocolate cookies made for him have real butter in them-nope bestlife buttery spread-sorry big bro.) So for any would be vegan bakers out there- you can thank Meatless Fleet for your new found lease on buttery life by baking to your hearts content and knowing that this little "heart healthier" spread (how heart healthy can any "butter" really be?) is the best vegan butter substitute for baking- hands down.

You can find bestlife at Giant in the regular Dairy aisle for about $2.50 a pop! No need to search amongst the pricey butters in the expensive vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free organic section for this little butter spread. One tub should last you about two weeks but if you've got some serious baking to do stock up and grab two.
Here's to staying "Meat Free" in the City- The Meatless Fleet Team

PS a conversation about butter just wouldn't be complete without mentioning The Buddha of Budda herself, Ms. Paula Deen. She's got a new flavored chap-stick that we're sure her target audience will just want to eat right up... with some mashed potatoes on the side!
