Vegan Coconut Ice Cream
A tub of coconut ice cream with vanilla and nutmeg from CoYo.
Another lovely ice cream from CoYo. It is coconutty, the vanilla tastes lovely, it is creamy (if you let it melt a bit). I could not taste the nutmeg, but that did not spoil the enjoyment of this lovely frozen dessert.
Each 500ml tub is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Gluten free, nut free, soya free. I got mine in an independent health food shop.
Vegan Ready Meal Pot
A spicy Mexican bean grain pot from Sainsbury’s. Just add hot water and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
I was not expecting to like this, but I did. The grains have a pleasant texture with some bite, the kidney beans are good with little bits of sweetcorn. The flavour is smokey tomato with a good kick of chilli heat. It is quite a satisfying pot. I would not suggest you take it to work unless you are happy with having a firey breath.
Each pot for one is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Sold in Sainsbury’s.
Vegan Maple Bacon
A pack of maple flavour vegan bacon rashers from the Cheatin range of VBites
I have had the standard veggie rashers from this brand for ages and they are pretty nice. These are exactly the same but a little more smokey in flavour with a hint of sweetness. Personally I am not much of a fan of smokey flavours, so it was not my cup of tea, however Paul really enjoyed them.
Each pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Per 100grams is 196kcal. I got mine from Holland & Barrett.
Vegan Marshmallow Chocolate Dippers
A portion pack of vegan marshmallows with a chocolate dipping sauce from Freedom Mallows.
What a lovely idea. The sweet marshmallows are great, perfect for dipping into the rich chocolate sauce. There is enough chocolate in the pot for the amount of marshmallows you get, however it looks like more before you open it. It tastes great and I am pleased to find another vegan treat.
Each pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. I got mine in the Vegan Kind Box.
Vegan Kids Quinoa Meal
An organic ready mix of quinoa and vegetables in a Thai flavour from Quinola.
It is always good to find a healthy ready meal for kids, that it not packed with preservatives and sugar, with the bonus of being organic.
It depends on what your kids like as the flavours are not very strong, this is very mildly flavoured and spiced. I really quite liked it, the carrots,peas and onion worked very well with the coconut thai spices and the quinoa grains. Would I buy it again, yes.
Each 150 pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Organic. I was sent this to try from Quinola
Vegan Flavoured Pitta Chips
A pack of Rosemary & Thyme flavoured Pitta Chips from Soffle’s. These were sent to me to try out.
The chips are quite thick and very crunchy. Very intense flavour from the rosemary and thyme – strong enough to cut through anything that you want to combine them with. I found them to be quite enjoyable.
Each pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Vegan Cream Egg
Vegan cream eggs made by artisan vegan chocolatier Consider it…
Oh what a wonderful treat, vegan cream eggs. I have to admit, this is one of the vegetarian treats that I miss, so I am thrilled to get vegan versions.
The chocolate eggs are just lovely, the chocolate is yummy wrapping around the creamy sweet fondant that has the traditional white and orange colours. This will be what I give to my family this Easter. Just lovely.
Each egg is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Hand made by an artisan chocolate maker. I got mine direct from Consider it….
Veggie Cafe in Aberystwyth
A veggie and vegan cafe and smoothie bar located in Aberystwyth, West Wales.
Aberystwyth now has a veggie cafe with the imaginative name of The Crimson Rhino. It is located at the bottom of Penglais hill which is near to the University. The cafe offers a range of simple veggie and vegan dishes with an array of smoothies and healthy treats. Everything is made fresh to order, and there is hot soup which changes frequently.
I have tried the soup and the hot Ciabatta sandwiches, along with vegan hot chocolate. Very tasty. I forgot to take pictures, sorry.
The staff are lovely and very helpful. It is not a designer fancy type veggie place, however the food is tasty and very reasonable on price. They do take out and eat in. It is good to have an all veggie place in Aberystwyth.
Vegan Geranium & Rose Soap
A bar of hand made natural soap with Geranium & Rose from Suma.
The soap smells nice, rose and geranium is a popular but lovely combination. The soap is made with natural ingredients. It is a good bar of soap. I like to use them in the bathrooms, but I also like soaps like this a drawer fragrances.
Each 95gram bar is Vegan Society Approved. BUAV approved. Made with essential oils. I got mine from an independent health food shop.
Vegan Stout Ale
A bottle of organic Penumbra Stout from Suma. I found this on offer in my local health food shop for £1.89
This is a proper dark stout. It has a rich, creamy head and the intense malty taste that makes stout such a great drink. It’s nice to see that this is endorsed by CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale). This would also be a great ingredient for casseroles and gravy making. It is totally yummy.
Each 500ml bottle is Vegan Society Approved. Organic. A Real Ale as per CAMRA.
Vegan Low Alcohol Lager
A bottle of low alcohol Czech pilsner lager from Sainsburys.
The lager looks the part, but I didn’t find this to be a pleasant drink. It tasted like watered down shandy pilsner. It also went flat very quickly which didn’t help. Not something I would get again.
Each 500ml bottle is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Sold in Sainsburys.
Vegan Chocolate with Sea Salt
A bar of organic extra dark chocolate with Cornish Sea Salt from Seed & Bean.
This is a handmade chocolate and it is Vegan Society Approved which is reassuring. If you like really dark chocolate then this might be for you. It is very strong in flavour and for me a little too bitter. I could hardly taste the salt. I would prefer something slightly sweeter with more salt.
Each 100gram bar of chocolate is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Organic. 70% cocoa Per bar is 581kcal. I got mine in an independent health food shop.
Vegan Chocolate Truffles
A pack of luxury chocolate truffles, with almonds and sea salt from Booja Booja.
Inside is 6 good sized chocolates. There is an initial taste of powdery chocolate, but this is followed by an intensely chocolatey firm truffle with crunchy and chewy caramel followed up by the tang of salt. A really nice combination of flavours and textures. I loved these.
Each box is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Organic, Gluten Free, Soya Free and Dairy Free. Vegan Society Approved. Sold in health food shops and specialist retailers.
Vegan Coconut Pineapple Ice Cream
A tub of vegan coconut based ice cream with Pina Colada flavourings (pineapple) from Coyo
I do love the CoYo yoghurts so I was pleased to find the new ice cream. The ice cream is pretty hard, so needs a little bit of time to melt a little so you can scoop it easy. The ice cream is creamy, sweet, coconutty with a hint of pineapple. I really enjoyed it. The balance of flavour is really pleasant and it does feel like a really good quality product.
Each 500ml tub is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Gluten free, nut free, soya free. I got mine in an independent health food shop.
Vegan 100% Coconut Water
A carton of 100% pure organic coconut water from Coco Zumi.
I like the coconut water, it tastes pleasant and refreshing. I like that it is organic and fair trade. Coconut water is said to have lots of health benefits and is a natural source of potassium and electrolytes.
Each small carton is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. organic and fair trade.
