Vegan Burger Seasoningschwartz_grill_cowboy_burger

A pack of seasoning for burgers (called Cowboy Burger Seasoning) from the Grill Mates range of Schwartz.  A mix of salt, pepper, onion,peppers, sugar, garlic, smoke flavouring, paprika, vegetable oil, parsley, basil and oregano.

This seasoning mix is designed to be used in making home made burgers and I can see how it would make bland veggie burger mixes much more tasty.   However I think it is great as a seasoning in other things.  It adds a really nice kick of smokey flavour with a nice savoury background to any dish.  I had mine on some baked beans and it was wonderful.

Each 73gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq).  Sold in supermarkets.  I got mine in Tesco.

Alva Natural Deodorant

Vegan Natural Crystal-Deo Sprayalva crystal-deo spray sensitive

A natural fragrance free deodorant in a spray from Alva.  On the bottle it says Crystallised minerals help prevent body odour and perspiration for up to 24 hours.  With organic aloe vera and comfrey.

I was advised that even though it is a spray it helps to rub in the deodorant to get the most benefit.  I did this and I found it to be good advice.

The spray is quite wet which was OK,  it went on well and I rubbed it in.  It is fragrance free which is suitable for sensitive skin which I liked, but I personally would have liked some smell as it was odourless.  However this makes it suitable for men and women.

In the hot weather I tried it and it held up all day which was quite a surprise as many natural deodorants do not last that long.  What I did was to dab a little bit of vegan perfume under my arms and that way I got a good deodorant with a flowery smell, you could do this with aftershave too.

Each 75ml bottle is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Natural, Cruelty Free, no preservatives, no parabens and no alcohol.  I got mine from I Choose What I Use.
