High 5 energy gel orange

One of my big goals for 2024 is to run a half marathon and a full marathon. I did complete a half marathon in 2023, but the one I am planning for 2024 will be my first chipped and timed race, so I am equal parts very nervous for it and also very excited to … Continue reading High 5 energy gel orange →

Burger King bean burger

This new addition for Veganuary is technically a 'return for Veganuary' in that Burger King have brought back their bean burger for their 2024 offering. This was a product they offered as part of their main menu but they discontinued it in the last few years, no doubt to make way for their other plant … Continue reading Burger King bean burger →

Krispy Kreme Chocolate Cookie Crunch 

Now while 2024 will be a big running year for me (I have some long distance races planned so training for those starts very soon!), I simply cannot pass up a new doughnut. Especially when it involves oreo cookie too... Enter one of the newest doughnuts on offer from Krispy Kreme. The Chocolate Cookie Crunch, … Continue reading Krispy Kreme Chocolate Cookie Crunch  →

Doe Bakehouse Pumpkin Spiced donut

Another wonderful find in York and another reason why I am seriously ocnsidering moving to this gorgeous city. Now no doubt you will all know how much I love donuts - they are a true comfort food that very rarely ever lets me down.

Fudge Kitchen York

I recently took a short trip to York and I was truly spoilt for choice for vegan treats. There were also so many independent and local businesses, and even with all of the walking we did I still think I ate my own body weight in vegan goodies. However I think this fudge has truly … Continue reading Fudge Kitchen York →

Yole frozen ice cream

If you are American, you are probably already very familiar with this brand. However in the UK, this brand is very new - at least it is to me. I have never seen this brand before so was very excited when I saw that they clearly had advertised vegan options. Westfields is a large shopping … Continue reading Yole frozen ice cream →

Beyond Meals spaghetti bolognese

Beyond Meat is probably one of the best meat alternatives on the market right now. The texture, appearance and taste is very close to meat - to the point where I do sometimes panic that I have accidentally picked up a meat product. So if you want a meat alternative that very accurately replicates actual … Continue reading Beyond Meals spaghetti bolognese →

Endling: Extinction is Forever – Game Review

Aside from being a very passionate vegan, I am also a big fan of video games. I am a very firm believer in that a good video game can be just as comforting and rewarding as a good book. As much as I love curling up with a good book, I have found that video … Continue reading Endling: Extinction is Forever – Game Review →

Nourished Inner Peace nutrient stack

This is a new one for me. I have seen a load of different vegan products in my 8 years of veganism, but this was a first. I was actually given this by one of my work collegues, who in turn told me that she recieved it in a welcome pack at her new gym. … Continue reading Nourished Inner Peace nutrient stack →

Wicked kitchen chunky chocolate bar

One of the big chocolate bars I miss since going vegan are the Yorkie bars. I always remember they were advertised as 'not suitable for girls' because girls couldn't handle such a big chocolate bar. Stupid right? Have you ever met a woman who would look at a chocolate bar and think 'that is too … Continue reading Wicked kitchen chunky chocolate bar →
