I wasn’t sure on a topic of what to blog about this week. It’s been a busy past few days and my head has many things running through it. So I decided to review a few products I had ordered off of www.cosmosveganshoppe.com.
I’m sure just about every vegan has heard of Sweet & Sara’s Marshmallows and S’mores. I had never tried them until now. I purchased the Coconut Marshmallows and the regular S’more snack.
The Coconut Marshmallows were absolutely fantastic! In my opinion, they are way better than regular marshmallows. These have more substance and offer a great treat just on their own! I can’t wait to try the other flavors!!
As for the S’more snack, I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t anything that mind-blowing (not as good as the marshmallows by themselves!). You could probably make your own vegan s’mores way better! But it was a good fast snack.
Sweet & Sara products are available in many places now: Whole Foods, most vegan food websites and their own website: www.sweetandsara.com. My one complaint about the company is their nutrition facts are not on the package!! As someone who is watching my weight, I was bothered by this. I e-mailed the company’s owner, Sara about this and if she could send me the info. Sara said the nutritional info will be available this fall! That makes me feel better. I will definitely be ordering from Sweet & Sara again!
Now onto a totally different type of food: vegan SHRIMP by Vegetarian Plus. The picture on the box actually looked like shrimp and though I was scared as hell to try it, I was curious.
I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself actually going back for seconds on this fantastic imitation! Granted, most of the deliciousness lies in the sweet chili sauce I sauteed the shrimp in. (The chili sauce comes with the product!!) Still, I recommend this meal if you’re missing some good ol’ shrimp. I made a shrimp fajita out of it with mixed vegetables…yum, yum!
Well, that’s really all I have to say for now…I promise more soon and some recipes to come as well.
