Not a lot of writing with this post but what needs to be said other than VEGAN JAM TARTS?!
Get to Sainsbury’s to try these gluten free, vegan jam tarts. I love them!

Gorgeous range of condiments
I’m back in the UK after six months in Mexico, so of course one of my top priorities is catching up on all the vegan grocery developments I’ve missed.
Like this!
This range of condiments by Providence Deli caught my eye during a recent stop at my nearest Waitrose supermarket.
Onion relish, black olive paste, basil pesto and those gorgeous-looking tomatoes all had my mouth watering.
I quickly discovered that each and every jar in this range is labelled as being suitable for vegans. I guess that means I should really try them all, right?
You can visit Providence Deli online.
Vegan product frenzy hits UK
There is not a lot more to say other than GET READY TO HAVE YOUR MIND BLOWN.
Online UK grocery giant Ocado has added a huge range of vegan products from Italian freefrom company Valsoia. The web-based selection includes pizza, ice cream, chocolate spread, whipping cream, ice cream sandwiches and more.
My greedy head is actually spinning.
See some of the products below and click here to see the entire range online.
New vegan chocolates at Marks & Spencer
A super quick post to let you know about these three new vegan chocolate bars available at UK retail giant Marks & Spencer.
Have you tried them? Are they any good? Any mention of ethically-sourced ingredients? How is the price point?
BIG thanks to Gill for use of this photo.
Inexpensive vegan ice cream
There are so many vegan ice cream stories to tell, I’m frankly getting tired of relaying them. My main annoyance being all the news relates to the UK and I’m a long way from that part of the world.
My fab friend Mirel sent me the following photos of what she found in her local Morrisons supermarket this week.
With each box priced at just £2, you might just be able to afford to try them all.
It looks as though a company is making these treats for UK supermarkets to rebrand as their own product. These Morrisons ice creams look very similar to what I reported on from Tesco a short while ago.
Anyway, affordable vegan ice cream for those who want it.
Vegan ice lollies only £1 for 5!
Even though I’m in Mexico City sweltering with near (or just over) 30 degrees Celsius temperatures most days, I’m not going to pretend I don’t know how exciting it is when the weather gets a little warmer in the UK.
I saw on a news website that some parts of the country are even pushing 20 degrees Celsius. I am thrilled for you all as I know the last few months have been a bit rough when it comes to weather.
To help you celebrate, I thought I would share this information.
You can buy a box of five vegan ice lollies from Morrisons for just £1. That is damn good value.
Put on your best bikini, grab four of your best friends and get down to the local common with a box before the sun disappears again.

UK supermarket launches new vegan spreads
Roll up, roll up.
Veganism is spreading (pun clearly intended) and Tesco is the latest large supermarket chain to launch its own versions of vegan margarine.
Check out these two varieties:
Both tubs are listed as suitable for vegans on the Tesco website. Click here and here to see the detailed nutrition information.
Have you tried either of these spreads yet? I would love to hear your feedback.
Pudology is spreading UK wide
I adore Pudology desserts so I was happy to hear this news of their continued spread around the UK.
From today (Monday April 25, 2016) Pudology is part of a trial that Waitrose is running in 48 of its stores. The supermarket chain is putting all chilled free from products together in one space for the first time. Shoppers will be able to find their favourite dairy-free delicacies more easily.
Currently, Pudology can be found in six Waitrose stores with two of their products (Banoffee & Chocolate) but this trial means they will be launching the Millionaires Pud flavour into the 48 participating stores (at an awesome 25% off offer!). If the trial is a big success, the concept of a free from chilled section will be rolled out to more stores taking Pudology to even more people.
You can check out the Pudology website here.
Cheap vegan curry range in UK supermarket
My wonderful friend Mirel (click on her name to see the MOST fab vegan baked goods) sent me the following photos of some tasty-looking vegan curries she spotted in her local Asda and I must say, I am super impressed.
Mirel mentioned that these were priced at the ridiculously-inexpensive price of £1.50 each. I can’t believe how cheap they are!
It is lovely to see a matar paneer made with tofu and check out that okra. Gorgeous.
Has anyone tried these? What did you think?
