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

Tokai

I like keeping this ingredient on hand to spice up my cooking — both the flavor and the presentation! It’s moderately #spicy togarashi #chili peppers that have been #dried and sliced into small, glossy rings (they sell whole more

kyu Thank you! This is my take on black pepper tofu, using black garlic for a hint of sweetness. It’s one of the dishes I make most often to share since it seems to be a hit! 5 likesReply

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

Rounding out the trio of Sunlit #kimbap with this non-spicy #bulgogi roll! Cheers @ameriamber and @alistar!

This was a delicious and super convenient/#lazyvegan #frozen option. It actually took under 2 minutes to steam more

Holi Scoops

I have to hand it to them, the folks at Holi Scoops have a keen sense of branding. The eye-catching carton definitely enticed me to pick up this expensive-sounding pint. While it wasn’t gross or bad by any means, the most more

I’ve been doing a slightly deranged amount of exercise lately for an in-office triathlon and am trying to get as much #protein as possible into my meals to maintain my weary muscles. I was too tired to cook properly; luckily, more

Clif Bar

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!

I liked this #bar more more

Last time I was at Sprout Café, I ordered (and was very impressed with) the seasonal Green Goddess wrap (https://www.abillion.com/reviews/661aaffa33015b114127154b,) which was delicious and also massive. This time, I knew more

Sesame #tofu is the starter that I order every time I visit Sprout Café, but have thus far failed to review because we inevitably dig in as soon as it lands on the table, destroying its photographable appearance! #appetizer more

Roy’s had a couple of vegan options on their display case (I think the banana bread was also vegan) but this #muffin was calling to me. The price wasn’t posted, and I was a little shocked when it rang up as $4.50, but it more
