This creamy Vegan Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese gets some healthy crunch from garden vegetables. Fresh herbs add even more flavor. Pair it with your favorite crackers for a satisfying snack.
One of my favorite guilty pleasures is vegan cream cheese. It is one of those comfort foods that I gravitate towards when I feel like a quick snack.
When I pair it with some brown rice seaweed crackers, I am a happy camper.
I thought I would make my normal comfort go-to snack a little more fun by making a Vegan Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese. After all, I haven't had vegan vegetable cream cheese dip in quite awhile, so there's no time like the present!
This has quite a bit of crunch from chopped red pepper, carrots, and red onion. I added my favorite herbs as well: dill, chives, and parsley. I love whenever I can sneak vegetables into something.
Many moons ago I used to work next to a bagel shop. I loved getting an everything bagel with garden vegetable cream cheese for lunch. Somehow it made the workday a little better.
That was before I was vegan and gluten free. To satisfy my everything bagel craving, I created Everything Bagel Flax Crackers awhile back. They aren't the same as eating a bagel, but until I find or create a good vegan gluten free bagel, they will have to do.
For some reason I haven't made my own veggie cream cheese dip until now. I think since going vegan I've only had vegan vegetable cream cheese a handful of times.
After making this, I know I will take the little bit of effort to make it again. It takes ordinary vegan cream cheese to a whole new level.

This looks delicious! It kind of reminds me of the cheese ball we used to make growing up just with vegies instead of meats.

This could definitely be made into a cheese ball too! I would probably roll it it parsley.
