So I came up with this idea of serving a different daily vegan snack every day to guests around the pool at the resort where I work. The chefs are fed up with me pushing my vegan agenda so I had to promote it as the daily health snack rather than the daily vegan snack. The head chef came up with the following suggestions.
apple sandwich with dry fruit and white cheese
-Broccoli with home-made cottage cheese
-Vegetable roll, ponzu sauce
-frappé with soya milk, almond powder
-cucumber and avocado, linseeds
I am obviously not happy about the cheese so how do you think I should go about convincing an overweight, slightly arrogant French chef that this is not healthy?
If any of you have any vegan suggestions of what to put instead of the cheese would be appreciated, as well as other simple hand snacks I could give out.

Re: Help needed with health snacks
Tofu instead of Cottage Cheese is best in my opinion, and dried fruit tastes better with nuts/cashews instead of cheese.

Re: Help needed with health snacks
You may need to introduce him to some good vegan cheeses, or other fermented vegetable products.
The original chao cheese is pretty good; he may be surprised by it.

I wouldn't bother with the other flavors.
The saturated fat in coconut is still bad, but not *as* bad as dairy fat.

Here are some online retailers you can get a sample from.
You can get him to try it, and tell him it's a healthier cheese that still has some saturated fat, but it's a good middle ground.
And explain after (if) he likes it that it's made from coconut, if he asks more questions.
Cottage cheese could possibly be replaced by home made almond tofu.

Re: Help needed with health snacks
Since a resort pool is in a warm locale, perhaps a "guest" could mention how cheese is not really a warm weather snack? Sits kinda heavy on the stomach, and makes you kinda sleepy. Not great for swimming.
Alcohol may have been a factor.
