Cofresh Poppadum Curls

Vegan Lentil Snackcofresh_pop_curls

A plain flavour lentil snack called Poppadum Curls from Cofresh.  I have really enjoyed Cofresh products so far,  they are great little snacks made from all sort of more unusual ingredients.

I really enjoyed these poppadum curls.  I have tried bagged poppadums crisps before from supermarket own brands which are OK, but these curls are quite a bit different.  They are really crunchy and are slightly thicker than the supermarket versions.  These curls have a lovely plain poppadum flavour.  A really good alternative snack.

Vegan Crispy Pasta Snackpastinos_chianti_olive

A pack of crispy pasta snacks called Roberto & Giuseppe’s Pastinos from Martorana Snacks Ltd.  Made from pasta a good alternative to crisps.

The pasta is very nice,  light and crispy and crunchy (not too hard).  The flavour is prominent tomato with sweet notes and a faint wine taste, but can’t really detect the olive. Quite a different texture and taste but very enjoyable.

Vegan Olive Tortillasmands_olive_tortillas

A pack of Corn Tortillas with Green & Black Olives from Marks and Spencer.  Made with authentic Corn Masa.  I recently tried the Multiseed version of these which were very nice.

This bag of olive flavour tortillas is quite good,  I really like the bits of olives in there, the flavour is quite distinctive of olives.  They tortillas are crunchy and fairly light,  they make a nice change from other snacks as I have not seen anything like this before.  Great as a party food or for sharing.  Would go nice with a salsa or humous dip.

The Food Doctor Multigrain Crisp Thins

Vegan Crisp Snack

A pack of natural multigrain crisp thins from The Food Doctor.  These are a cross between a crisp and a cracker.   They have a flavour of corn tortilla’s but with an additional wheaty flavour.  I have to admit I found this snack to be fairly awful.  It might be because this one is a plain flavour.  If they added some spicy flavouring I think it would work,  but as they are the flavour is not great.  Not something I woud have again.

 

Each 85gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per 25gram portion is 99kcal.  I got mine on sale in Tesco supermarket.

Vegan Chocolate Coated Pumpkin Seeds

A pack of dairy free organic dark chocolate coated roasted pumpkin seeds from Landgarten.   I love toasted pumpkin seeds so when I saw these chocolate coated ones I felt the need to get some.  They are lovely.  The dark chocolate is quite sweet and works really well with the toasted flavours of the pumpkin seeds.   This is a great snack and I think most people would enjoy them including kids.   The chocolate is Belgian dark chocolate.   On the pack it says that this is a good source of magnesium and phosphor.

Each 55 gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per 100grams is 532kcal.  I got mine at Viva On line shop for £1.99.

Vegan Raw Bar

A raw fruit and nut bar with oats from Nakd.   I have been loving the newer Nakd bars like the Banana Bread and the Rhubarb & Custard which are divine.  This one unfortunately is not my cup of tea.  I did not like the smell,  it is chocolate with a slightly musty aroma.  I am not sure if it is a bad batch,  it looked OK, but I could not bring myself to eat it.  The texture seemed fine, held together well but easy to break apart.

Each 30gram bar is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per bar is 100kcal.  Sold in health food shops, some supermarkets or online.

Vegan Creamy Dill Chips

A pack of lentil crisps with a creamy dill flavour from Cofresh.  Cofresh have been making some new interesting crisps that are made with lentils.  This flavour is a revelation,  they taste really good.  They have a creamy flavour with the dill and it works great.  The crisps are light and crunchy,  also they are quite addictive.  I really enjoyed these crisps.

Each 40gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per 28gram serving is 145kcal.  Gluten Free, wheat free, no artificial colours or preservatives.  I bought mine in an independent health food shop.

Vegan Chocolate Rice Bar

A rice crispy oat cereal chocolate bar from Doves Farm.  This is the second bar from Doves Farm in this format that I have tried,  the Apple and Sultana version was lovely.  This one was also pretty nice,  it is very crispy and I found it was perfect to fill a gap between breakfast and your main meal.  The chocolate pieces were very good.  I really enjoyed it.  I like that it is organic and really tasty.

Vegan Raw Bar

A fruit and nut raw food bar with ginger from Nakd.  OMG I thought that the Rhubarb & Custard Bar that I reviewed earlier was good,  but this one is really really good.  It is made using dates, almonds, pecans and some spices and that is it.  This Ginger Bread one has the lovely warmth of ginger and cinnamon paired with the lovely sweet, gooey and nutty texture of the bar.  I really enjoyed this one and it is now my favourite.  Well done Nakd.

Each 35gram bar is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Vegan Raw.  Made in the UK.  Per bar is 157kcal. Sold in some supermarkets and health food shops.

Vegan Organic Flapjack

An organic apple and sultana flapjack from Doves Farm.  They say on the pack that it is low salt, wholegrain and a source of fibre.    There are quite a few flapjacks out there for vegans,  this one has a really good balance.  The size is perfect for one, I have found others to be too big, but this one is just right.  I really enjoyed the flavour the apple is sweet and not sharp and the raisins add a nice juicy texture.  The flapjack is slightly crispy with the oats which I really enjoyed.  They have not been mean with the raisins so you get some in every bite.  I also like that it is fair trade.

Each 40gram bar is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Organic and Fair Trade.  Vegetarian Society Approved.  Made with natural ingredients.  I bought mine in an independent health food shop for 49p.

Cofresh Hummus Chips

Vegan Hummus Chips

A pack of hummus chips with sea salt from Cofresh.  This is a new idea to me crisps made out of chickpea flour.  The crisps were quite hard and crispy and the sea salt flavour is pleasant.  They say on the pack that they are 30% less fat than potato crisps.  There were not my favourite thing,  I do think they would be better with a spicy flavouring on them.  I prefer the Cofresh Lentil Chips that I reviewed earlier.

 

Each 135gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Free from GMO. Gluten & Wheat free.  Per 28grams serving is 150kcal. I bought mine from an independent health food shop.

Primal Strips Hickory Smoked

Meatless Vegan Jerky

A soy based meat free jerky in a Hickory Smoke flavour from Primal Strips.   I have reviewed a Texas BBQ version of these meatless jerky and because I am not a fan of this sort of thing I asked Paul to try it for me.  He thought that it was very similar to the Texas BBQ one, quite juicy and chewy and the Hickory Smoked flavour in this version is really good and tasty.  They make a good savoury snack.  Paul seems to be quite addicted to these and has consumed quite a few recently.  He said at first he was not sure, but the jerky has grown on him.

Each pack of 28gram strip of jerky is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  No preservatives, all natural.  Made from Soy.  Per pack is 96 calories.  Sold on line and in some health food shops.

Vegan Sweet Chilli Crispy Curls

A tapioca, rice and corn snack in “Sweet Chilli Kick” flavour from the Crunchy Curls range of Snack a Jacks.   These snacks are really light and crispy,  puffed up with air and crunchy.  The flavour is quite sweet and the chilli has a gentle heat,  but not hot and too spicy.    I quite liked the curls,  they are perfect with a boring sandwich or for a light snack.

Each 22gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell.  Per pack is 88kcal and 1.6grams of fat.  Sold in supermarkets.  I bought mine in the Cooperative supermarket.

Llama’s Baked BBQ Bites

Veggie Wholewheat Baked Snack

A pack of BBQ flavoured whole wheat baked biscuits in the shape of Llama’s from Fairway GB Ltd.   I found these bites in Tesco,  they are little biscuit type snacks that are quite hard and crunchy with a barbecue flavouring.   Persist past the first one,  as I did not care for them much when I just tried one, but they do improve.  I like the shape of them, little biscuit shaped llamas which are cute.  The bbq flavour is pleasant enough, the heat builds the more you eat.  They are a fun nibble and would be good as a party type food or for sharing.

Each 150gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell.  Per 25gram serving is 100kcal.  Sold  in Tesco.

Vegan Carrot Crisps

A pack of carrot chips flavoured with paprika from Crispy Natural.  I like the idea of have different vegetables as crisps rather than just potatoes.  I quite enjoyed these carrot pieces,  they were a bit hard, but tasted really good.  The carrot flavour comes through and the paprika adds a nice lift of warming spice.  They are great for lunchboxes or for a light snack.

Each 20gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell.  Vegetarian Society Approved.  Each pack is 68 kcal and is one of your five a day.
