Vegan Tropical Trail Mix

A trail mix infused with papaya,  pineapple and coconut from On the Go.  I think this trail mix is quite pleasant,  there are peanuts, cashews, sultanas, papaya, banana, pineapple and coconut.  These are great to go in lunch boxes.  It is not the best trail mix I have had but it is nicely packaged and convenient to open.  I also like the ginger sparkle trail mix I reviewed earlier.

Each 50gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell.  Per pack is 221kcal.  I bought mine in Holland & Barrett.

McCain Ready Baked Jackets

Vegan Jacket Potatoes

Ready baked jacket potatoes from McCain.  To be honest when I first heard about these potatoes I thought it was a joke.  You can microwave a fresh potato for 8 minutes,  why would you spend more money on a frozen one, that you can cook in 5 minutes in the microwave or 55 minutes in the oven.  My mum tried them first and told me how good they were so I thought I would give them a go,   I was pleasantly surprised.  When you microwave a fresh potato the skin is soggy and it does take ages to cook in the oven.  These McCain ones have a nice skin and the potato is fluffy inside,   even though they have been heated in the microwave.    So I guess I can recommend them.  I still prefer fresh potatoes done cooked in the oven,  but these McCain ones are not a bad choice.

Each pack of 2 jackets potatoes are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.   Each potato is 208kcal.  Sold in the freezer section at supermarkets.
