My new favourite chocolate

Have you all seen this vegan chocolate in your local shops?

I’m obsessed with this #vegan chocolate by @cocoalibre

I picked this bar up in my local Sainsbury’s a few days back and I can’t stop thinking about it ever since.

Cocoa Libre is a gorgeous company in North Somerset making the sweetest range of vegan products. They have chocolate penguins, dark chocolate discs, orange chocolate frogs and a whole bunch of gift boxes.

All of the milk chocolate is made with rice milk and is one of the creamiest and most delightful dairy alternatives I’ve tasted.

You can order the full range from the Cocoa Libre online shop and follow them on Twitter and Instagram.

Vegan peppermint slice

by

Get to your nearest Waitrose store, buy a box of these vegan delights and start eating.

I was waddling through Waitrose in Westfield White City a few days back when my chubby eyes spied an intriguing box of biscuit treats. Of course having the word ‘vegan’ printed on the package meant I hastily tossed them into my basket and trotted happily to the checkout line.

For a gluten free product, the Lazy Day peppermint slice is an outstanding item. Heck, it is a super high standard regardless of the freefrom credentials.

Tasty, crunchy and incredibly difficult to stop eating.

The show runs for another two days at London Olympia and there are free tickets to be had all over the Internet. Go to your favourite search engine and you will find free tickets everywhere.

OK. Check out the photos below. Anything you like? Did I miss something?

Not a difficult choice

by

Life is full of choices.

I chose last year to relocate (once again) to Europe instead of choosing to remain in Australia. I choose not to buy or consume dairy products due of the mistreatment of animals exploited within the industry. Furthermore, I often choose to overeat sweet food because I’m a greedy fat, gay vegan.

These three choices of European living, dairy-free food and sugar over-consumption have recently merged into some sort of holy trinity of choice with the discovery of a delicious chocolate caramel product called Choices. See what I did there?

You’d better run egg

by

As an atheist I don’t partake in rituals, rites or celebrations based on religious beliefs. But I’m certainly not going to let a little non-belief get in my way of a vegan Easter egg.

Gromit the cat saunters by my vegan egg

Whilst trolling around Sainsbury’s supermarket on Cromwell Road in London for a snack, I stumbled upon a delectable-looking treat in the section reserved for food allergies and specialist diets. The freefrom Easter egg stood tall on the top shelf and beckoned me with its yellow wrapping, shiny bow and cheeky swing tag advertising its vegan status. I was so taken by the snappy appearance of this seasonal snack that I was on the verge of offering to buy it a drink. Gift-wrapped, vegan chocolate doesn’t fall into my FGV lap everyday, so I barely hesitated as I swooped it up and deposited it into my shopping basket.
