The Laziest Vegans International Product Swap

A couple months ago I put a message up on the Laziest Vegans FB Discussion Board about swapping with fellow lazy Vegans. I didn't get much of a response, but one person humored me and offered to trade Vegan goodies. That person was Emily from the United Kingdom. She sent me a TON of stuff! I haven't had a chance to sample everything yet but I most definitely will. And yes, I'll have another swap soon, so be on the lookout!

When I opened the box I noticed a cute thank you card and some major candy. Goody Good Stuff Cola Breeze Gummies and Dairy Free White Buttons.

Nakd Bars!

Chorizo and Hemp Spacebars.

Choices Dairy Free Caramels. These are AMAZING! They literately melt in your mouth. Find them here.

Vegan Jelly Crystals from Just Wholefoods.

Vegan Chicken Style Cacciatore from Vegideli.

Vegetable and Shiitake Pate from granoVita.

And if you were curious what I sent Emily, let's just say it had a couple marshmallows in it :)

Uncle Eddie's Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate-Chip Cookies

Have you seen these cookies before? You know, the ones in the brown bag. Sometimes they are in your cookie isle or sometimes they are in your frozen section. Or perhaps you've seen them at your favorite online Vegan store. They are very unassuming. If fact, you might think they are boring cookies.

Well, I'm here to set the record straight. Eddie's Peanut Butter Chocolate-Chip Cookies are the most deceivingly decadent cookies in the world.

Is it normal to eat the whole bag in the same day? Probably not. You see, I'm an addict. Once the first cookie hits my mouth, I know that the bag is gone. The peanut butter and chocolate chip mixture is too much. All of the ingredients melded into a crumbly chunky cookie. I'm sure these would be great with almond milk but with one hand on the bag and one hand on a cookie, that ain't happening.

But I think we are missing the bigger picture, who are you Uncle Eddie and what have you done to me?

New So Delicious Coconut Milk Nog & Mint Chocolate

Sorry to keep bragging about Vida Vegan Con (it was awesome!!!), but when I was there I happened to notice sample boxes for the new So Delicious Holiday Flavors: Nog & Mint Chocolate. I instantly got excited for the holidays! Luckily I'm one of the chosen ones to test out these new flavors before they hit the shelves. I consider it an honor and I want to thank So Delicious for sending these out so quickly.

So let's start with the nog! The words "out of this world" come to mind. If you love your nog thick, creamy & nutmegy then this is the nog you've been waiting for. It's so good!!! I think it's the new standard for Vegan nog.

The mint chocolate was not as thick as the nog but it was equally delicious. I liked this better then the soy mint chocolates of the past because it didn't have the "beany" soy flavor. The mint was refreshing. You'd almost think they crushed candy canes to provide the mint flavor. If you love mint and chocolate, you'll be in heaven.

So when you're looking for holiday beverages, make sure you try both new flavors of So Delicious. I think they knocked it out of the park - even Santa is gonna want to chug this.

Food For Lovers Vegan Queso

A couple of months ago at Vida Vegan Con, everyone received a jar of Vegan Queso from Food For Lovers. I'd heard of their Vegan Queso before but it's not available in Omaha and I just never got around to ordering it. Everyone I know has raved about how delicious it is, so I was pretty impatient to try it myself. Also, I was lucky enough to meet Chris and Crystal, the owners of Food For Lovers, who were super awesome and sweet. In no way did their sweetness influence my review, it's just nice to see a Vegan-owned business that cares about their customers.

A disclaimer: YOU WILL EAT THE WHOLE JAR IN ONE SETTING. I promise you. There is no way not to. I told myself I would spread it out over a day or two. NOPE. I don't know what they put in this stuff but it's mad addictive. The Queso is soooo good. Tangy, spicy and silky all at the same time. I threw some nacho chips in a bowl with some hot Queso, and topped them with some fresh tomatoes. It was heavenly!!!

So, I know I'm like the 100th Vegan blogger to tell you to go buy some Vegan Queso, but you've really got to try it. In fact, I'm going to contact my local Whole Foods today just because I love it so much. And last but not least, if you have been enjoying Randomofo.com during this years Vegan Mofo, you have Chris & Crystal to thank! You two are some amazing Vegans!!!

Annie's Organic Orchard Fruit Bites

I've been known to forget to eat my daily allowance of fruit. It's not that I don't like fruit but unless it's a banana or already cut-up, I'm pretty lazy. So when I saw that these Annie's Organic Orchard Fruit Bites have one serving of fruit per pouch, I was pretty stoked.

The three flavors I purchased were strawberry, grape and apple. Shapes of the bites varied from the Annie's Bunny, a star and a flower. Taste-wise I enjoyed the grape the most. All three tasted really good and very natural. Not too sweet but sweet enough to be considered a treat. These are something I could throw in my lunch box and leave in there until I need a sweet snack.

Divvies Halloween Candy

I reviewed some chocolate bars from Divvies earlier this week and it got me thinking, what else do they make that I might like? Well, I headed over to their online shop and I found some pretty cool Halloween candy. Not that I need more Halloween candy, but you might!

How about a couple of Vegan chocolate ghosts? Hell yes! The same great chocolate as the Divvine Chocolate Bar. Yummy.

How about a Vegan chocolate dinosaur? Kids will love this. It's so cute!

My favorite discovery is this blue rock candy. It tastes like cotton candy!!! I know it's pure sugar but yum city! LOVE IT.
