A few newly found vegan products, tried and tested just for you...you're welcome!
Miyoko's Creamery Fresh Vegan Mozz, this was pretty good but honestly for me maybe not worth the price tag. I think you're looking at $8-$12 for block. It did have the taste of mozzarella which is great but the texture was very flakey/gritty so not at all like mozzarella. It melted ok though as you can see in my
lasagne picture. Tried it with
Insalata Caprese Crackers too.
These
Simple Mills Garlic & Herb crackers I got from a discount store here in Jacksonville called Solomon's Ventures. They were ok but had a strong bready taste and were a bit dry I like to taste what's on the cracker - not the cracker itself sometimes.
I got these
Go Raw dried salads from Solomon's Venture's also, they were interesting that's for sure LOL. Not bad just didn't have anything special about them, basically like kale chips.
I really did not like these
Brad's Crunch Kale Chips and full disclosure they came from a discount store and even if they weren't expired may have been there because they were not stored optimally. Never the less I didn't like the taste of whatever the flavor was suppose to be.
I really love Australian brand
Freedom Foods. I think always vegan (of the products I've seen) and always a list of allergens (or lack there of). These are very crumbly but I love to keep them in my bag for when I need a snack. My 20 month old loves them too! Got these at Solomon's Ventures.
These
Enjoy Life Seed and Fruit mix were a big hit with the kids I think mainly to do with the fact that they have vegan chocolate chips in them so making what could be boring for them seem exciting.
Bombay Bitchin' Sauce I had never heard of but got it discounted so I thought Id try it - OMG SO GOOD!!!! I loved whatever this dip was supposed to be lol
Enjoy Life again - these Soft Baked Ginger Spice Cookies definitely a hit with the whole family. They are soft and I prefer my gingersnaps hard so I can dip in my tea without having to do diving for them later but really no complaints about this product ;)
Found this
Botticelli Bolognese Sauce I think at Publix on sale so I thought I'd try it. LOVED IT! Whole family loved it and the best part?? It has the vegan ground beef already added into the sauce! Will definitely be buying this product again - especially if its on sale ;)
This is a fantastic product if you're in Jacksonville.
Gnarbucha organic vegan kombucha is divine!! It's a family owned small business with a lot of experience. I loved the Mango one! They sell out of their store or at the Jarboe Park markets every Saturday 2-5pm. If you bring back the bottle for a refill it's much cheaper - win win!
Got a free sample of these
Beech-Nut Fruit & Veggie Melties at the baby gym we go to. They were pretty good actually! The taste like freeze dried fruit but melt faster in your mouth and are all the same dollop size.
Simply Nature Green Pea Crisps from Aldi (yes finally made it to check out their stuff). These were very tasty - will be buying these again!
Got this
Little Salad Bar Roasted Red Pepper Hummus from Aldi also. Love their hummus and half the price of regular stores!
Tried this
Equal Exchange Chocolate 55% cacao Almond because I used to love the small 55% cacao bites which I can never find anymore! I liked it a lot - had that smooth creamy texture I liked but tasted a little more dark chocolatey than the bites.
Bought a
Kat Von D vegan Ink Liner in Nerdrum. I also was sent a free Studded Kiss lipstick in Lolita. I even got free shipping! The quality of the products is undeniable. The eyeliner glided on and had a very thin firm line to make it very easy to be precise. It lasted a long time too, I think it's a waterproof one. The lipstick was matte but very moisturising and smelled wonderful. I don't think I've ever had a lipstick smell so good. The only complaint I have is that the color of the eyeliner wasn't what I thought it would be, the picture was fairly accurate but the color box it showed was a different shade of blue, it looks a lot darker on the picture than in real life. you can see on it was a very electric blue. I was looking for a darker blue but not navy.
I mentioned
Blue Moose of Boulder hummus in my previous
Vegan Products post but I found a couple more, Green Chili and Chipotle. The Green Chile was nice but a little spicy for me and the Chipotle was so spicy I couldn't eat it.
Found this
Go Raw Orange Raw Chocolate at the discount store also. SO GOOD! I missed that Jaffa (orange chocolate) favour that doesn't seem to be popular in the USA (Think Jaffas in Australia and Terry's Chocolate range in the UK). I really enjoyed this and wished I had bought more, nice and creamy for a raw chocolate!
There's no secret I LOVE
L'Occitane products. And most of them are vegan! The only animal products they use are beeswax and honey so those are always carefully listed in the ingredients.
This Shower Oil is amazeballs!!!! I especially am in love with the Almond one because it smells so divine but if you care more about Shea than almond sent this this new Shea range is great.
L'Occitane's shower oil is so amazing because it foams up like shower gel but leaves you skin feeling soft and supple but not oily. It really is magical!
Brew Dr Kombucha from Oregon is pretty tasty but I think the Superberry was my favorite followed by Clear Mind (which tasted a bit like ginger beer). I didn't like the Citrus Hops flavor so much.
I bought these
Namaste vegan cup noodles from the discount store so full disclosure it may have just been because they were store poorly (I bought them the same month as their expiry) but they were horrible. So much so I couldn't even eat them - even the kids wouldn't eat them. The flavor packet was hard and thick so maybe moisture had gotten in if it's normally supposed to be powdered? That I couldn't say but they tasted rancid, I was so excited about them too. :(
I got this Charleston Favorites Peach Slow Burn Hot Sauce from
Food for the Southern Soul at the discount store (also available at Publix). It was pretty good although I didn't taste a ton of peach. The sugar is definitely vegan, I checked with the manufacturer. Was lovely in my
Buffalo Tofu Bites.
