Since most plant-based cheeses have little to no protein, I wanted my lasagna to have a little more heft to it, so I happily found lentil pasta lasagna sheets, also a Whole Foods win. Kite Hill specifically came out with an almond milk ricotta-style cheese I’ve had my eye on for a while and I finally had the hankering for a good old lasagna, so I threw it in my last online Whole Foods order. When I don’t venture to make my own nut-milk cheese I opt for some of my favorite plant-based brands, such as Miyokos and Kite Hill.
