Sweet Freedom Natural Sweetener

Vegan Natural Syrup

From Sweet Freedom a lovely light sweet syrup.  I very much like this product,  it has a lovely sweet slightly fruity taste,  similar in colour and texture to runny honey.   This is perfect for sweetening tea,  having on ice cream, on pancakes or anything you would have syrup on.  I will even try it for cooking soon.  The great thing about this apart from the taste is that it is made using pure fruit extracts,  no raw sugar,  so our bodies will like it more than pure sugar alternatives.  Paul loves it too and has said “this is my new go to syrup for vegan ice cream”.

I did review their Sweet Freedom darker version which I personally did not enjoy,  however this light version is really good.

Made 100% from fruit, in an easy to squeeze 400gram bottle, Vegan, Vegetarian, each teaspoon is 13kcal, a good alternative to sugar for those on special diets for example diabetics, GM Free, Low Gl food, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan Society Approved, Food Lovers Approved.  It keeps for ages, but in my house it will not last too long.  Sold in health food shops and some supermarkets.

Please note my reviews are always honest and unbiased, however I feel it only right to point out that Sweet Freedom did supply this product for me to review.

Tesco Veggie Soup

Vegetable Mulligatawny Soup

From the tesco chiller section a fresh soup.  A hearty soup rich with vegetables and rice, with a slightly spicy flavour.  The soup is very tasty and filling.  There is enough for 2 people in each carton.  I would recommend you have some crackers or crusty bread with it.  I think this would be a good winter soup as it is very filling and warming.  To warm it up you can either microwave it or put in a pan and warm it up on the hob.  You can freeze it too.

Each 600 gram carton is Suitable for Vegetarians, vegan as far as I can tell.  Dairy Free.    Sold in Tesco.  Serves 2 people half a pack is 200kcal and has 7.5grams of fat.  Good value I paid £1.

Dairy Free Buttons

From Humdinger Foods dairy free white chocolate buttons.   So far the vegan white chocolate I have tried has not been great,  however I quite liked these ones.  They are very sweet and a bit sickly,  but that is how I remember white chocolate tasting.  Small bags of buttons are perfect for a quick snack or for cake decorating.

Made with a blend of Sugar, Cocoa, Rice and Soya.  Each 25gram bag is Suitable for Vegans, Dairy Free, Vegetarian Society and Vegan Society Approved.  Halal, Kosher, 45pence per pack.  Sold in health food shops and some supermarkets.

I recently reviewed another of this range Chocolate buttons.

Vegan Chocolate Selection Box

Animal Aid Vegan Chocolates

Plain chocolates with assorted centres from Animal aid.  I really liked these chocolates,  it is quite unusual to find a box of chocolates for vegans,  this was quite a novelty for me.  The chocolate variety is good with the usual coffee, orange, strawberry creams,  marzipan with nuts and chocolate ginger.  Really really good.   I bought the Silver Box to try but they do other sizes and options which I will review shortly.  This would make a good gift for a veggie person or whoever likes nice dark chocolates.

These chocolates are produced in the UK for Animal Aid.  The Silver box is 190grams.  Suitable for Vegans.

Dairy Free Coconut Ice

Fabulous Fudge Coconut Ice

Hand Crafted vegan coconut ice from the Fabulous Fudge Factory.  This is very sweet sickly and delicious.    The coconut taste is clear and the natural flavour of raspberry puree come through and adds a really good flavour,  the texture is crumbly.  This is great if you have a sweet tooth like I do.  You cannot eat too much just a square or two. It makes a lovely vegan dessert or goes well with a cup of tea.

Each 200 gram bag is Vegetarian & Vegan Society Approved.  Dairy Free, No hydrogenated fats, no artificial colours or preservatives, Gluten Fre, GM Free.

I have also reviewed the vegan fudge this company make and that is wonderful.
