VeGourmet Korn Krainer Sausages

Vegan Cheesey Sausagesvegourmet_korn_krainer

A pack of 4 vegan sausages containing vegan cheese called Korn Krainer from VeGourmet.

These are really nice but different type of sausages.  They have a firm, uniform texture.  They are a bit tricky to remove both from the outer vacuum packaging, and also the plastic sleeve.  Easy to cook – I just griddled mine.  Has the taste of a nicely spiced vegan sausage and cheese.  It’s a nicely balanced combination and makes a change from the regular vegan sausages.

Vegan Chocolate Dippershneiders_delinutdip

A chocolate creamy mousse with dipping biscuit sticks from Shneider’s.  This little treat arrived in the May Vegan Tuck Box.

It is great to see a product like this,  a bit of fun.  The biscuits are pleasant and crispy,  plain flavour with a hint of salt. These work very well with the creamy chocolate dipping pot.  The chocolate is sweet and yummy.  Mine had a few broken biscuits which were a bit tricky to use, as the chocolate dipping pot is quite deep.

Vegan Apple & Elderflower Juice75cl_app_eld-250x250

A large bottle of clear filtered Apple & Elderflower Juice from James White.

This makes a lovely refreshing drink.   The juice is clear and still with a good colour.  The apple is not too sharp in flavour, and it is well matched and balanced with the elderflower.  Very enjoyable.

Organic Asia Sezhuan Noodle Soup

Vegan Hot Mango Sezhuan Noodle Souphot_mango_noodle_soup

A noodle soup with Sezhuan hot mango flavouring from Organic Asia.  I got this from the April Vegan Tuck Box.

The soup is very easy to make, you add water and simmer for about 5 minutes.  This soup is very very hot and spicy.  It was not for me.  The only thing I could taste was the burning heat.  The noodles looked OK, and there were bits of vegetables in there but I did not enjoy it.

Vegan Cream Cheese with Herbsviolife_creamy_herbs

A tub of non dairy cream cheese alternative with herbs from Violife (Viotros).

This is a nice dairy free cream cheese.  The main flavour is of basil, which is a pleasant fresh flavour.  It does not taste very cheesey.  It spreads nicely on crackers and has a very similar to dairy cheese texture.  Can be uses as a dip for chopped veggies and breadsticks, would work well on a Jacket potato.

Vegan Chilli & Ricestagg_chilli

A vegetable meal of vegetable chilli and rice in a microwave pot from Stagg Chili.

You can microwave this or warm it up on the hob.  I think these pots are a good idea for a quick meal.  This one is packed with beans kidney and pinto,  along with vegetables and rice, in a tomato chilli sauce.  It is not really spicy,  just a hint really.  The meal is filling and not bad to eat.  It has the flavour of a processed food, but it is OK.  Would be nice in a wrap or on a Jacket Spud.

Vegan Chocolate Coated Soya BeansIMG_3139

A pack of Belgium chocolate coated toasted soya beans from Landgarten.

I really liked this snack.  The toasted soya beans are delicious coated in the dark bitter chocolate.  They are crunchy with a sweet and savoury flavour.   I like that the soya beans are grown on the farm where they make the snack and that it is organic.

Each 55 gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per 100grams is 478kcal.  I got mine in The Vegan Kind April Box.

Vegan Mini Poppadoms

A party pack of plain flavoured poppadoms from Sainsburys supermarket.   I like poppadums so I hoped that these little ones would be good.  They taste great,  making a pleasant change from crisps.  You can have them on their own, but they are really tasty with a mango chutney dip. Very crunchy.

Vegan Hollow Chocolate Egg

A hollow dark chocolate dairy free egg from D&D Chocolate.   Just when I thought I had reviewed all of the vegan Easter products out there, Paul spotted this in the health food shop.  It was in a tub filled with eggs that are sold individually for 85p.

The dark chocolate egg is about the size of a hens egg.  It is hollow and nicely wrapped in foil.  The chocolate tastes good, not to bitter or sweet.  I like that it is vegan society approved.  Nice little treat.  Could be used for an Easter Egg hunt.

 

Each hollow egg is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  I got mine from an independent health food shop for 85p.

Vegan Crispy Rice Chocolate Bar

An allergy free rice milk bar with crispy rice pops from Zero Zebra.  This bar has NO milk, soy, egg, nuts or gluten or any other allergens (according to the pack).  I like that it is organic.

The bar is pretty good. The milk chocolate is sweet and tastes pleasant enough,  the rice crispy bits are OK,  not the best but it does work.  I think children would like this bar and sugar junkies as I found it to be a bit too sweet for me.

Each 35gram bar is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per bar is 207kcal.  Organic and fairtrade. Allergen free.  I got mine in an independent health food shop.

Zen Zen Vanilla Non Dairy Dessert

Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream

A tub of non dairy frozen dessert in a vanilla flavour from Zen Zen.  It is very exciting to find a new vegan ice cream,  I remember when we only had a choice of Swedish Glace or Swedish Glace which is nice ice cream but it is good to have a choice.

I liked the look of this ice cream as soon as it caught my eye in the health food shop.  The ice cream is quite pleasant,  the vanilla flavour is there with a really refreshing coconut background taste.  The dessert is somewhere between an ice cream and a sorbet.  I really enjoyed this dessert.  It is not too sweet so would work really well with a rich dark chocolate cake.  I like that they are using natural ingredients rather than anything artificial.  Also coconut milk is very good for you, so this is a treat with benefits.

Each 500ml tub is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Soy free, gluten free, no added sugar.   Per 100grams is 167kcal.  I got mine in an independent health food shop.

Dairy Free Easter Bunny Chocolate

Recently I have reviewed lots of Easter Bunnies.  Here is a quick recap of the ones I have tried.  I am sorry if I have missed any vegan bunnies,  please let me know if I have and I will try to review them soon.

 

The best first  Moo Free Mini Moo Dairy Free milk chocolate bunny.  Quite small but really really good.

 

 

 

 

My second favourite and the best priced is the Aldi dark chocolate Bunny,  good quality dark chocolate that is not bitter and is really cute.

 

 

Hotel Chocolate Easter Egg Hunter Bar,   this is just a simple bar of excellent dark chocolate printed with a lovely Easter Bunny.

 

 

 

Cocoa Loco Easter Bunny Lollipop,  this is a solid dark chocolate bunny shaped lolly,  very nice dark chocolate.

Choices Dairy Free Bunny,  a milk style chocolate shaped bunny from the Celtic Chocolates company who are making a real effort to make some lovely vegan Easter products.  The bunny is quite pleasant but it is very sweet.

 

 

 

Sjaaks vegan milk chocolate bunny with vegan jelly sweets.  Ideal if you have a very sweet tooth,  the chocolate is my least favourite of all the bunnies but still makes a nice gift,  the jelly bears are cute and taste good.

Tesco Everyday Value Vegetable Grills

Vegan Vegetable Grills

A pack of lightly seasoned blend of mixed vegetables shaped into burgers from the Everyday Value range of Tesco.  I found these in the freezer section and I have to admit I have tried similar products, so I was not looking forward to trying the grills.  They cook in the oven for 18mins from frozen.

They were pretty much as I expected,  they are basically a blend of some veggies with mashed potato squashed into burger shapes.  Fortunately in this one the onion was not too strong,  and the bright colours of the vegetables make them look nicer than others.  They taste OK,  quite bland with the occasional taste of red pepper.  I would not really consider buying this for my family,  but they went down smothered with ketchup to add some flavour.

Each 227gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.  Per grill is 95kcal.  Sold in Tesco supermarkets freezer section.
