I tried OWYN’s chocolate vegan protein powder and thought it was pretty good, then tried the KOS Vanilla protein powder and thought it was great in smoothies, so I decided to try OWYN’s vanilla protein powder—maybe the vanilla flavor would elevate the OWYN protein powder product to the next level. It did not—not at all.…

Gindo’s Artichoke Pesto Hot Sauce feels quite different to their other hot sauces. For one, it’s mild and really not that spicy. It says “mild heat”…and that is true. The other aspect that sets it apart is, well, its flavor profile and composition. It is supposed to be like pesto (I assume) and it is…

After trying the OWYN Chocolate powder, and hearing good things about the KOS brand from a friend, I decided to try KOS’s vegan vanilla flavored protein powder. Two scoops of it has 20g of protein for 160 calories. A great ratio. But how does it taste? With OWYN, I liked it just with room temp…

These Spark Organics Fruit Chews are square, chewy, and fruity candies. They remind me of Starbursts. This is the superfruit blend which has in it three different flavors: Pomegranate, Raspberry, and Blueberry. I tried each flavor, but they all sort of blended together in my mind and none of them really stood out per-se. But…

I didn’t actually get this Cucina & Amore Artichoke Bruschetta jar by choice…it showed up accidentally in my Imperfect Foods delivery. This type of product isn’t something I’d usually buy, but it wasn’t something that we were opposed to eating, either. In fact, we picked up a baguette to have special with it. And I…

This Gindo’s hot sauce, the ‘Blood Orange Ghost’, stands out with its integration of fruit. Based on the ingredient list, it has, for example: pineapple, mango, orange, and more blended with ghost pepper and other spicy peppers. It was a very interesting combination that I was eager to try. I used it on pasta and…

I picked up the Sonoma Gourmet Heirloom Tomato Pizza Sauce along with Miyoko’s cashew milk mozzarella to make pizza. Shocking, I know, given that this sauce advertises its purpose exactly as that. It’s filled with tomatoes and other goodness that one associates with pizza. It smells really nice. And goodness it is on pizza. We…

Miyoko’s vegan mozzarella, made with organic cashew milk, comes in a circular puck. It seems like real mozzarella, but the visuals are easy to nail. But the texture and taste? Texturally definitely it seems like mozzarella. Taste…honestly, I don’t remember the exact flavor of mozzarella beside it being sort of milky and sometimes tangy and…

OWYN (only what you need) protein powder is vegan and packed with nutrients and protein (as one expects from such a product). Two scoops of it are 140 calories, which feels like a bargain for 20g of protein. Vukoo bars are twice that many calories for the same protein amount. But this is protein powder.…

This vegan chorizo is the first El Zapatista product that I’ve tried. I picked up it to get some vegan meat for pseudo-fajitas we cooked Easter weekend. I’ve had fake chorizo before, once I think, but it was not at all like this. The El Zapatista vegan chorizo comes in this really nice rectangular box…
