Vegan Coconut Lolly
I found these at the back of a freezer in the Co-operative supermarket, a bit pricy at £3.99 for 4 lollies.
I really enjoyed them, the creamy coconut ice cream with a hint of vanilla is a treat, not too sweet which I liked. Sweetened with grape juice. Perfect for the summer months to come. Each lolly is a good size, enough for an adult serving even though they look aimed at children.
They are suitable for vegans. I got mine in the Co-op freezer section.
Vegan Fruit Jellies
A pack of fruit jelly sweets that are gelatine free from Marks & Spencer.
I am really pleased M&S are doing more vegan friendly products. The sweets are pretty good, chewy and sweet with a good flavour. They are not the best jelly sweets I have had, but I did enjoy them.
Each pack is suitable for vegetarians, and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq). Sold in Marks & Spencer.
Vegan Chocolate Treats
Vegan Tuck box have sent me some vegan chocolate treats to try out, all by Premium Chocolatiers.
Milkless Polar Dream White – vegan white chocolate. This is my least favourite of the products sent through. The chocolate is a bit grainy and does not melt in your mouth very well. It is sweet like white chocolate, but there are definitely better vegan white chocolate products available.
Choco NO NO’s – hard colourful shells coating a milk chocolate style sweet chocolate. These are just lovely, the outer shell is crispy and the inside is lovely chocolate.
Peanut Butter NO NOs – hard to get that these contain no nuts, but you get the outer crispy shell and inside is lovely creamy peanut butter without the peanuts. Just lovely.
This brand has really come up with some great vegan products, and it is great that Vegan Tuck Box have got them into the UK.
You can buy them directly from Vegan Tuck Box. Both are suitable for vegans.
Vegan Chocolate Treats
Vegan Tuck box have sent me a couple of products to try out, the first 2 I have tried is the NO Whey! ( vegan mars bar style) and Mini Peanut Cups.
I have tried the NO Whey mini bars before which are really good and the big version is just the same. They have a creamy milk style chocolate with a fluffy inside with caramel. Yummy
The Peanut Cups are also pretty good. The chocolate is again milk style, inside is the lovely contrast of creamy peanut flavour, so they do not feel sickly. This is another great vegan product.
You can buy them directly from Vegan Tuck Box. Both are suitable for vegans.
Vegan Smoked Nuts
A pack of peanuts, almonds and cashews in a blend of smoked chipotle chilli seasoning from Marks & Spencer.
The nuts are quite dark which is pleasant, the flavour is quite good, nice and smokey but not too hot. We enjoyed these nuts.
Each pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq). Per 100grams is 580kcal. Sold in Marks & Spencer.
Vegan Mint Chocolate Buttons
A pack of large pools (chocolate buttons) of mint flavoured dark chocolate from Marks & Spencer.
My only complaint about these is the price. At £5 they are a little steep. However they are very nice. The dark chocolate is lovely which is accented with a fresh mint flavour. Perfect for an after dinner treat, or for munching with a mug of tea on the sofa. I liked these.
Each pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq). Per 100grams is 552kcal. Sold in M&S
Vegan Sausages
A pack of chilli & coriander flavoured vegan sausages with secret vegetables from Secret Sausages.
These have an appealing crisp “skin” casing. The inner texture is good too, being neither too firm or mushy. The favour is an interesting balance – there is a sweetness from tomato, combined with onion and chilli, with a herb back-note of coriander. The heat is well judged – it packs a punch, but doesn’t build to be too strong.
Each pack of sausages is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. I got mine from Holland & Barrett.
Vegan Caterpillar Jelly Sweets
A pack of fruit sours, jelly, sugar coated, caterpillar shaped sweets from Marks & Spencer.
I am really pleased that M&S are doing gelatine free sweets, that appear to be vegan suitable. They are cute to look at with a sharp sour, sweet flavour that has a lovely chewy jelly texture. Fun sweets that I really enjoyed.
Each pack is suitable for vegetarians, and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq). Sold in Marks & Spencer.
Vegan Rice & Quinoa Ready Meal
A heat and serve rice and quinoa dish with vegetables and spices from Marks & Spencer.
Appealing mix of colours, This has a crunchy texture, with the wild rice and peppers providing the main flavours. I thought that this dish would be OK, for when you do not have much time, but not the best thing ever.
Each pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq). I got mine in the chiller at Marks & Spencer for £2
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.
