In our charming video, El Moussa sits down for the ultimate taste test: a fully loaded vegan cheese board. The snack-filled moment features a variety of vegan picks—from Rebel Cheese, RIND, Daiya, and more—proving that tasty, animal-free cheeses aren’t just delicious; they’re perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a sophisticated dinner party, a casual get-together with friends, or snack time with the kids.

El Moussa Ditched Dairy—And You Should, Too

El Moussa knows firsthand how powerful and precious the bond between a mother and her child is—which is why she’s reminding everyone that a mother cow’s milk is meant for her calf.

“Try some of this yummy cheese, because I promise you your party guests won’t even know the difference, and then they will all want to switch and be vegan,” says El Moussa. “It’s good for your health, it’s good for your wellness, it’s good for the planet, it’s good for animals, and we want to leave a lasting impression for our children.”
