Fair Trade Month!
October is Fair Trade Month and I'm happy to be reviewing a ton of socially responsible products. Katie from Fair Trade USA went out her way to send me some of the best Fair Trade products that are also Vegan. For those of you who aren't familiar with concept of Fair Trade, it's basically a movement to alleviate poverty in developing nations, while ensuring consumers quality products that improve lives and protect the environment. So when you see a product with the Fair Trade Logo, you can be assured that the product is a good one!
Kopali Organic Chocolate Covered Banana. These are nom city! I ate the whole package right away. Well, after I took the picture anyway. They are little banana bits, which are easier to eat when compare to large banana slices. They taste wonderful and I hope to see them in the store soon!
Alter Ego Dark Quinoa Dark Chocolate. Who knew? Quinoa and chocolate are AMAZING! The quinoa gives the chocolate the perfect crispness. Sort of like a Crunch bar, but totally Fair Trade chocolate. Buy it ASAP.
Madhava Organic Raw Agave Nectar. Agave is a great sweetener that is usually on the counter at my house. I personally don't use it, but my coffee/tea drinking girlfriend swears by it.
Sweet Riot Chocolate Kickin' Coconut Bar. Another amazing Organic chocolate bar, but this time it's got coconut! Oodles of sweet delicious coconut covered in dark chocolate. Another ASAP buy!
Rishi Organic Pu-Ern Ginger Tea. A spicy, potent, gingery tea. Great for Sunday morning breakfast!
Honest Tea Black Forest Tea. A delightfully berry tinged non-caffeinated iced tea. Great when you don't want anything overpowering sweet.
And if that wasn't enough, Coconut Bliss was kind enough to include a
free coupon for giveaway! (**Updated 10/16** Fair Trade USA will also send you an above product of your choice plus a Fair Trade Tote Bag!) All you have to do is comment down below which
of these products you are most excited to try. I will randomly pick a
winner, Wednesday at 4pm CST. Also, look for a Vegan MoFo Fair Trade giveaway soon! Thank you to Fair Trade USA for promoting
these wonderful products. Remember to look for the Fair Trade label!

i am obsessed with tea! that ginger tea looks amazing, id love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the chocolate covered banana bits and quinoa chocolate bar at my local Whole Foods but have been too skeptical to try them, now I definitely will! (I have however, had the chocolate covered goji berries, which are also phenomenal!)
ReplyDeleteWow John! This is such an amazing giveaway! I really like fairs trade stuff,and I always try to choose it when it's an option. Especially for chocolate, since there are so many unfair labor practices in the chocolate industry.as for the amazing snacks, I would be all over this chocolate bananas! They sound crazy good!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the mood for dessert so the Sweet Riot Chocolate Kickin' Coconut Bar looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteWay to promote fair trade products! I feel like I don't often have the funds to buy fair trade but I really should more often.
ReplyDeleteAs for favorites, I cannot decide between the Ginger Tea and the Sweet Riot Kickin' Coconut chocolate bar. Cannot and will not.
Oh, I can't wait to try the quinoa chocolate bar! I think I've seen it in the store here, but for some reason it didn't occur to me that it would be crunchy. I've made homemade raw crunch bars with dehydrated buckwheat groats, but that was kind of a giant pain, as you might imagine...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review of the products. I have seen that quinoa bar and have wanted to try it. What a novel idea to put quinoa in chocolate. I also love coconut ice cream and would be excited to get that coupon!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe product I want to try the most is, hand down, the chocolate covered banana. It just sounds too delicious. Yum !
ReplyDeleteI'd like to try the chocolate-covered banana, but I'm also so sad that you didn't post a picture of what they actually look like! My eyes want to eat them.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I ate them so fast! They were kind of like chocolate covered raisins. Bits of banana covered in chocolate :)
DeleteIn my pregan days, Crunch bars were my fave, so I'm looking forward to trying the Alter Ego Dark Quinoa Dark Chocolate for sure.
ReplyDeleteDuh...the coconut chocolate bar, of course!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am most excited to try the Sweet Riot Chocolate Kickin' Coconut Bar!

Chocolate covered bananas, BY FAR!!!
ReplyDeleteMost definitely the coconut/chocolate bar: my two favorite things! Add fairly traded and vegan and it doesn't get much better.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
They all look delicious, but I think the chocolate banana bites would be at the top of my shopping list!
ReplyDeleteI'm interested to try the dark chocolate quinoa bar!
ReplyDeleteand much thought the chocolate coconut bar, my wife may over rule that and say the ginger tea, but she also loves chocolate so i'm probably good
ReplyDeleteI am a tea fanatic, so I would like to try the Rishi Organic Pu-Ern Ginger Tea!

ReplyDeleteI am totally wanting to try the chocolate bar made with quinoa! What a great idea. There are times that I crave chocolate and would love to satisfy my craving with a chocolate bar that is not as fattening. It would also save me having to dip my spoon into the jar of cooking cocoa! :D
