I’ve ordered this before but on my most recent run to Peregrine, I’ve got to say I wasn’t wild on this pie. There was a certain spice that there was too much of that I can’t quite place but it was very strong.

These soup mixes are always a win. I like to add soy mince for added substance and protein. A bit of miso paste thrown in with tomato paste at the start doesn’t go amiss either!

Absolutely love this soup mix and even more if a value-add when the ‘buy 2 for RX’ special is going.

I was excited to try the vegan nasi goreng option from this spot housed in the Mojo Market. It’s definitely packed with protein thanks to an abundance of tofu and sprouts, however I think it was lacking a bit of crunch/balanced flavour.

Frozen For You

Bought this has a quick dinner option in the week. All I needed to do was boil some pasta and top it with the bolognese. It was packed with lentils and carrots and other veg which was great, so very nutritious. I thought more

Must say I didn’t love the taste of this one - and I do enjoy their normal vegan hot chocolate. This tasted very synthetic.

I was musing over what sauce to have with my vegan butternut ravioli and almost went with Woolworths’ creamy tomato sauce (vegetarian) before I spotted this vegan Napoletana sauce and that settled it. Very tasty, slightly more

There’s only a R2 difference between the vegan butternut ravioli and the non-vegan version. Can confirm the taste is just as delightful as you’d expect. We paired this with the vegan Napoletana sauce.

This is a great way to swop out animal products for plant products in your every day diet. I truly don’t notice the difference from standard Mayo!

This stuff is like CRACK to me. I put it on everything from veg to salads to soup and stir fries. Patiently waiting for @woolworthssa to bring our larger packets. It’s quite pricey for the small amount you get.
