A large part of any diet is finding those staples that can be used in a number of different recipes that still taste good without costing too much money. Life can get busy, and sometimes the last thing you want to do when you come home is to drain your tofu and marinate your tempeh, … Continue reading Vivera plant based mince

NOMO Coconut chocolate bar
I am likely going to get a lot of heat for this but...I loved Bounty Bars. I love coconut, and I love chocolate, and the combination was always my favourite. I was never a big fan of other Mars company chocolates (like Twix or even Mars), but I would have happily lived off of Bounty … Continue reading NOMO Coconut chocolate bar
Muller corner plant based chocolate balls
Finally, a vegan version of a non-vegan staple. I remember Muller corners being one of the best snacks out there, especially the various flavours of the crunchy balls that they had on offer. This has always been one of my wishlist products as, in all honesty, the vegan yoghurt market is really quite slim. I … Continue reading Muller corner plant based chocolate balls
Squeaky Beam kick of tikka chicken pieces
The past few months I have been trying to focus more on my health and fitness. I'm running more and actually getting some decent numbers when it comes to my weight lifting. But a massive part of the fitness journey comes from the diet. You can run ultramarathons every weekend but if you eat like … Continue reading Squeaky Beam kick of tikka chicken pieces
Loma Tuno and mayo
There is something quite comforting about a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich and since going vegan I have been trying to find a good alternative to tuna. So far, my best has been my homemade chickpea and sweetcorn recipe which does a good job of replacing my tuna meals. I have to say though that there … Continue reading Loma Tuno and mayo
Buttermilk caramel nougat bar
Following on from the Love Raw bar, I have been on the lookout for more vegan dupes of favourite chocolate bars. I have tried Buttermilk products before and I have always found them to be a solid and consistent brand. Their chocolate has been tasty and reasonably priced, but it doesn't do anything spectacular. Again, … Continue reading Buttermilk caramel nougat bar
Garden Gourmet burgers
I think I may have found the best burger... I had not seen these on sale before, but had heard good things about the range as a whole. So I gave them a try, wanting something different to my usual Meatless Farm burger. Oh boy were these a treat and a half! I found these … Continue reading Garden Gourmet burgers
Cadbury’s smooth chocolate plant bar
This is proof that veganism is truly taking off. Cadbury's - possibly the biggest chocolate maker in the world has released not one but TWO vegan chocolate bars. It is made with almond milk instead of dairy, and I believe the flavours are smooth chocolate and salted caramel. I naturally went with the plain chocolate … Continue reading Cadbury’s smooth chocolate plant bar
PSA: Choccy Dodgers!
A lady at work bought these in and turns out they are also vegan friendly! They are basically Jammie Dodgers...but with chocolate instead of jam. They are made by Jammie Dodgers so really there isn't anything special about them, aside from the fact that they have chocolate in the middle. Have any of you guys … Continue reading PSA: Choccy Dodgers!
Slug and Lettuce vegan mac’n’cheeze
I have been meaning to go to a Slug and Lettuce for some time, but as the one nearby is the only one for quite some miles, it is always heaving with people. But I lucked out this week, as it seems with the bank holiday weekend, people have had their fill of bars and … Continue reading Slug and Lettuce vegan mac’n’cheeze
