Caribbean Curried Noodles

A vegan ready meal from the chiller section.   Instant hot food from the Levi Roots range.  A lightly spiced sweet noodle dish with fresh vegetables, made using a coconut curry sauce.  This tasted pretty good,  the spicing was just right the texture of the noodles were good and the vegetables were crunchy.  This is a good meal if you do not feel like cooking,  it seems pretty healthy and tasty.  Very satisfying.  It smells lovely.

Each 430gram tub takes 4.5 minutes to microwave,  Suitable for Vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell.   Per 100grams is 115kcal.   I bought this one at Tesco.

I like the Levi Roots Rasta Pasta Sauce I reviewed in an earlier post.

Askeys Brandy Snap Baskets

These little brandy snap baskets from Askeys are really good.   They make a perfect vegan dessert,  you can add what ever you like to the basket, be it vegan ice cream or fresh fruit and berries with Provamel soya cream.  There are so many combinations.   The brandy snap baskets are crunchy and then chewy in the mouth and are a lovely texture,  they taste good too, nice,  sweet and sticky.

I like them with Swedish Glace Ice Cream Raspberry is my favourite flavour and I think it works well with the basket.

Each 100gram pack contains 6 baskets, Suitable for Vegetarians,  Vegan as far as I can tell.  Each basket is 98kcal.  Sold in the Supermarkets.

Ginger Biscuits

From McVities, Ginger Nuts.  This is not something I would normally buy but I thought I would give it a go.  The biscuits are really crunchy and don’t fall apart when you dunk into your tea.  The flavour is a mild ginger sweet taste.  Not a bad biscuit,  perfect for tea breaks,  they come in large packs so are perfect for sharing.

Each pack is suitable for vegetarians, vegan as far as I can tell.  Each biscuit is 46 kcal and has 1.7gram of fat.  No artificial colours, or flavours and contains zero hydrogenated oils. Sold in supermarkets and corner shops.

I personally prefer the Nairns Ginger Biscuits I reviewed in an earlier post.
