Tofutown

Sometimes you try a new food, and it’s simply love at first bite — that was me with this #tofu! It was a super thoughtful gift from @beckyyy that I devoured and then forgot to review while she was taking a break from the more

beckyyy Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! I find it so strange that smoked tofu is readily available in several places but not the U.S. it’s just so good 😭😭😭. 5-spice baked tofu has that same texture and is so delicious too but I sure love that smoky flavor 2 likesReply
veganvanman Nice kyu! I wasn't so keen on the texture myself, but realised it can be real tasty if done right. I tend to use paper towel when i take it out of the package, wrap it around the block of tofu and press down a little and it soaks up some of the water that it may retain, firms up a bit nicer.Reply

Hippie Organics

I am madly obsessed with these #organic #blackberries that I discovered at Costco. I’m a #berrylover and blackberries are my favorite of them all; these are ridiculously #sweet, too! I think they’re some of the best fresh more

Good Planet Foods

Pretty decent #vegancheese! I’m generally disinclined to purchase vegan cheese of any type, as it’s not something I’ve ever missed (also, the majority that I’ve tried have given me stomach pains.) However, after reading more

YiShi Foods

Yum! In my humble opinion, this is the best-tasting flavor of YiShi #oatmeal — so fruity and tropical. It’s also the least healthy (more sugar and less fiber and protein per serving than the other opitions, but isn’t that more

Oatly

Pretty decent #creamcheese spread that proclaims its vegan-friendliness from pretty much every surface of the packaging. To be honest, I was a little wary of this product. I’ve enjoyed Oatly milks in the past, but I’m picky more

kyu Drawback: it does contain palm oil3 likesReply
vikas Interesting. It’s mind boggling to me when I look at the new Philadelphia cream cheese and some of the other products and see how artificial they are. Even Violife proclaims “made from coconuts 🥥 “ on their packaging… when it’s just loaded with coconut oil. So far my favorite is Kite Hill which uses almond milk and a very small list of ingredients I can understand. 3 likesReply
kyu Kite Hill is my personal favorite as well! I especially love their garden veggie cream cheese (though it’s a bit pricey — definitely a “treat yourself” purchase for me.)
This year, I’m trying to cut my coconut oil consumption down as much as possible, as it just really doesn’t agree with me. I’m glad to see more vegan options that don’t rely on it. 2 likesReply

Generally I wouldn’t endorse a product with this much added sugar… but after today’s 50km bike ride, I can attest that the combination of sugar, fat, #protein, and #caffeine really kept me going!
