Buy 3-pack bundles of vegan chocolate

If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen me post quite a number of times about No Whey Foods.

This US company makes some of my all-time favourite candy and chocolate products.

It is difficult to get my hands on these products when I am in the UK, so it is good news to my ears to find out that No Whey has started selling online via Amazon.

The three products available right now are shown below, with more to come over weeks and months.

And in even better news, the candies above are available as lots of three. Yes, you order three packets at a time!

Click here to visit the No Whey product page on Amazon.

Extra note: some of these products are also starting to show up in independent vegan grocery stores and online shops around the UK. Please make it a priority to support these businesses before shopping with Amazon if you can.

Extra extra note: I have just realised that No Whey are in the ‘can’t recommend’ section of the Food Empowerment Project chocolate list. This list documents responses from companies related to their ethical and fair trade chocolate practices. You can see the full list online here.

Award winning vegan chocolate

by

Great news for one of our regular Hackney Downs Vegan Market traders.

The Well-Bean Company is a thoughtful vegan chocolate company that is not only lessening demand for animal products, but also raising funds and awareness for mental wellbeing initiatives.

And they just won three awards at the Newham Business Awards 2018!

Well-Bean founder Charlie just told me:

We won three awards! We were awarded Sole Trader of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year (I assume being in my 30s means I am still young?) AND Business of the Year. Most the evening was spent with shocked faces and tears. We then went on to Brighton chocolate festival where BIG brand bean to bar makers highlighted our chocolate as some of the best at the event. It has been an incredible time.

I am thrilled and rather quite emotional to see Charlie and Well-Bean get this recognition. They are a good company in every sense of the word and it is always a proud moment to see one of our market traders get positive attention.

If you want to support The Well-Bean Company and help them celebrate their awards, get along to Hackney Downs Vegan Market this Sunday October 21, 2018 where they will be selling their gorgeous vegan chocolates.

Family vegan treats business

by

Just a quick post to share news of a family-run vegan baked goods and chocolate business that will deliver to your home or workplace.

Fliss’s Fancy is not just a online shop where you can order tasty delights, it is also a way for owner Emma to have a meaningful way to remember her daughter who passed away.

Let’s hear from Emma:

I set up my business in September after making a few treats for my husband’s uncle who is a vegan. I was dairy free at the time. After losing my daughter, I didn’t want to put any animals or humans through what I went through. After learning more and more about the industry, I am now vegan myself and feel so much better for it.

I set my business up in memory of my daughter Felicity. I’ve sold at the West Midlands Vegan Festival and I’m looking into appearing at a few more events next year. I sell mostly online and have enjoyed amazing feedback from people who are shocked that they taste the ‘same’ if not better than dairy versions.

I was donating my money I got from the business to our Just Giving page as we had been in the media because of what happened to our daughter (hospital negligence). We’ve now raised that money so I will now be looking at sending a percentage of money I make to charities. This week I’ve donated to the Lullaby Trust.

You can order Emma’s treat at her online shop and follow her business on Instagram.

Before you head off to another part of the Internet, let’s look at some photos of her food.

Best vegan chocolate

by

I recently had the extreme good fortune of tasting the best vegan chocolate I’ve had in years.

Sat hello to Chocolatey Clare.

This handmade milk chocolate brand hails from Dublin, Ireland and features a gorgeous selection of flavours including Lemon Crunch, Mint Creme and Salted Peanut.

They are all gorgeous.

I was very kindly gifted a selection box thanks to Clare herself and I wasn’t expecting to be so blown away by how delicious her products were. Josh and I were actually fighting over the final crumbs.

When I write that I thought these chocolates were amazing, I really mean that I have never tasted vegan chocolate this good in Ireland or the UK. There are only a few chocolate brands on the planet that I think are in this league.

The good news for all the chocolate lovers out there is that you can order directly from Clare online for delivery.

Click here to order your own selection now.

Need more convincing to buy some for yourself or a friend?

Chocolatey Clare sources ethical cacao from a Fairtrade certified co-op in Peru, the packaging is printed by a company specialising in vegetable inks with machines powered by wind, and the bars are plastic free as they are wrapped in recyclable paper-backed foil.

This is the ultimate feel good gift. Order some now. Get double what you think you should because you will be in love.
