Hippeas Organic Chickpea Puffs

Vegan Chickpea Puffs

I found these in Holland and Barratt. A vegan snack made from chickpeas.

They are like a “large wotsit” about 5cm long, and very crispy. They are quite dry and very puffed up. The 3 flavours :-

“In Herbs we Trust” has a strong, sweet oregano, rosemary and thyme flavour.

“Pepper Power” is the least complex flavour of the three, delivering on salt and pepper.

“Sweet & Smokin” has the familiar flavour of sweet smoked paprika.

The flavours were all quite salty and I found I had to have a drink of water with them. A different and interesting snack, but not something I would rush out for again. Quite expensive at £1.19 a pack.

Suitable for vegans and 91kcal per bag. gluten free and no trans fats.

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.

Vegan Chilli Garlic Pitta Chips

A pack of toasted pitta chips with a chilli and garlic flavour from Soffle’s. I got this in the December Vegan Tuck Box.

The chips were OK, the shapes and sizes were very uneven and slightly over toasted. The flavour is OK, but don’t be fooled by the mild label as they were far from mild (see scotch bonnet on the ingredient list). I thought they were OK, but not something I would run out to get again

Each 60gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Per pack is 246kcal. I got mine in the December Vegan Tuck Box.

Vegan Smoked Bacon Snack

A pack of multigrain type crackers with a smoked bacon flavouring from Hoots. This was in the November Vegan Tuck Box.

The crackers are made with wholegrain and seeds which I liked. Also the flavouring was not too heavy, which is good, often smokey bacon flavour is overpowering. The snack is light and crispy, ideal as a little snack, I would like it with some vegan cream cheese

Each 35gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Per 35gram pack is 165kcal. I got mine in The Vegan Tuck Box

Vegan Flavoured Rasins

I found these in Poundland, I bought Bubble Gum Flavour and Cherry Flavour made by Goobers (Evolution Foods).

Inside each box is 5 individual packs. They are naturally flavoured and taste great. I would not say that the bubble gum flavour reminded me of bubble gum, however they are really fruity and lovely. The cherry flavour taste like cherries. Really nice little snack packs, ideal for lunchbox snacks or a light healthy snack when you fancy.

Each box of 5 25gram mini packs is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. I got mine in Poundland.

Vegan Poppadoms

A pack of 10 uncooked poppadoms from the Vitasia range of Lidl supermarket.

You are supposed to deep fry these as per the instructions on the pack. However I hate frying food, so I found a cheat way to cook them. I brush them in a little olive oil on both sides and microwave for 30 seconds. This produces a crispy, light and perfect poppadom. The poppadoms taste lovely and are great fora little snack or as a part of a meal.

Each 120gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell. Sold in Lidl

Vegan Lentil Curls

A pack of salt & pepper flavoured lentil curls from The Loved By Us range of the Co-operative supermarket.

They say these are salt & pepper flavour, but that is not accurate in my opinion, they are flavoured with onion powder, yeast extract and salt & black pepper. The flavour is very nice, but you cannot mistake the onion flavour. I enjoyed these crisps and they made a nice change than just plain potato.

Each 60gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Per 20gram serving is 90kcal. Sold in the Co-operative.

Vegan Balti Peanuts

A pack of balti flavoured coated peanuts from The Tasty Snack Co (Poundland).

These are good sized nuts, very heavily flavoured, but the flavour of the nut itself still cuts through the spice. The flavour is mainly chilli, with a background of curry type spices. There is a heat that builds slowly, but it gets quite fierce after a time. I liked them

Each 130gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell. (see faq). Per 50gram serving is 311kcal. Sold in Poundland.

Vegan Sweet Potato Crisps

A large pack of lightly salted purple and orange sweet potato crisps from the Summer of Flavour range of Marks & Spencer.

The crisps are very colourful and attractive looking. I was not a big fan of the purple ones, they were a bit dry and chewy. The orange crisps were lovely. Light and crispy, they make a good change from ordinary potato crisps.

Vegan Mini Breadsticks

A pack of 6 smaller packs of mini wheat breadsticks from Tesco Supermarket.

I really quite like these little breadsticks. They are crunchy and light. The flavour is slightly savoury. These would be great as a dipper for a savoury dish like cream cheese or hummus, but equally these would work well as a dipper for very sweet things like chocolate mousse. I enjoyed them.

Each 120gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq). Per portion pack is 80kcal. Sold in the snacks section of Tesco supermarket.

The bitter sweet chocolate is pleasant against the intense sharp dried cherries. The flavour of the cherry is lovely and strong. I quite enjoyed these, but they are a strong flavour.

Vegan Pretzels

A pack of classic pretzels from the Crusti Croc range of Lidl.

The pack is designed to protect the pretzels, I only got a couple of broken ones in mine. The pretzels are lovely and have a nice toasted flavour, they are crunchy and have the usual little bits of salt. They are quite large for snack pretzels. I really enjoyed them and would say that they are one of the best of this type of pretzel I have tried. It is also good to see Lidl marking more and more products suitable for vegans.

Each 100gram pack is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Sold in Lidl for 99p.

Vegan Bombay Mix

A traditional Bombay mix from The Tasty Snack Co. I found these in Poundland and they are a Poundland own brand.

This is a mix of textures rather than flavours really. The flavour is typical bombay mix – spicy with a good level of heat that builds. The mix contains noodles, peanuts, split green peas, lentils and puffed chickpeas. Good value at 400g for £1. A lovely little nibble.

Each 400gram pack is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq). Per 50 grams is 243kcal. I got mine from Poundland.

Vegan Raw Bar with Spicy Lime

A raw organic fruit and nut bar with spicy lime flavours from RawBite.

This bar is quite similar to other raw bars I have tried. It has a nice texture with the soft fruit and nuts. The lime and spiced flavours come through and add a really nice extra flavour, but these flavours are not too strong. Great for mid morning healthy snack.

Each 50gram bar is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Per bar is 194kcal. Sold in health food shops. I got mine from Vegan Tuck box.
