I originally reviewed the Louisville Vegan Jerky Co.’s Maple Bacon flavor….and my takeaway was that I enjoyed the product, but not the specific flavor. So here I am, trying a flavor that is more my speed: smoked black pepper! Yes, smoked black pepper…despite me saying the maple bacon was too smoky, I chose this flavor…

Miyoko’s Creamery Pepper Jack Vegan Cheese Shreds are a really good imitation of the real thing from first gaze. They really do look like pepper jack shredded cheese: milky white with sprinkled red accents…that’s pepper jack. But do they taste like pepper jack? They get the point across well enough.

Lightlife is another plant-based food producer. They have a wide-range of plant-based meat substitutes. The substitute reviewed today is their Mexican Smart Ground product. I think it is supposed to mimic ground beef. Well, whatever it was meant for, we used it as the ‘meat’ in tacos. The texture was light, fluffy, and had a…

But, regardless of how great the calories are, do we even want to eat them? Hmm… maybe. They grew on me…

The Louisville Vegan Jerky Co.’s Maple Bacon flavored jerky is, I think, the first vegan jerky that I’ve had. For some reason, I decided on the Maple Bacon flavor. They had a good variety of options, but I went with the maple bacon… not sure why. It spoke to me, despite me not being that…

The first true licorice review on Selective Elective is that of RJ’s Original Soft Eating Licorice (no, the Askinosie does not count)! Black licorice is a favorite of my family’s, so we had high expectations going in for this licorice. At first impression, it does not disappoint. Once the bag is open, you can smell…

PopCorners‘ Flex protein crisps are basically low calorie, protein packed, chips. The ones I am reviewing are their barbecue flavored version. They also have a buffalo variety, which I’ve had, but I’m just reviewing the barbecue one. Why? Because they are delicious and I am addicted to them and so I have to shout out…
