The above photo is courtesy of Quarrygirl.com. Y’all should all head on over there, because she highlights a bazillion more new products than are even listed here! (Also, thanks to Brandi for sending me an email about the quarrygirl post in the first place!)
The following new product alerts (and photos) are courtesy of Vegnews. It pays to stalk follow @vegnews on Twitter.

Ooh look, it’s vegan Peeps!

Above, new flavors of Coconut Bliss: Chocolate Walnut Brownie, Luna Berry Swirl, Mocha Maca Crunch, and Ginger Cookie Caramel. (I’ve actually never tried Coconut Bliss. Sad, right?)
Rumor has it that Silk has a new coconut milk beverage. I’m hoping it’s better than the Turtle Mountain one, which–to me–tasted watered-down 
. (Update: It’s MUCH better! And the new Silk unsweetened almond milk rocks too!)

I heard about those larabars and have been keeping my eye out for them too!
I’m so excited!!! Can’t wait to try all that yummy goodness:)
OH
MY
GOD
So glad I clicked that link from your other post on to this HOLY PAGE!!!
What a cute idea Katie! I like this page.
Um German Chocolate Cake? Are you kidding me!? I heard they were coming out with new ones but I didn’t know what the flavors were… holy moly. You should come over and we’ll have a cake-feast. I’ll be on the lookout for these. Also chocolate almond butter?… Yes please!
New Larabars?!? SWEEEEET!
Thanks for being such a glorious source of new food finds! I also got the Justin’s Nut Butter email and am elated about the new chocolate nut butters — especially the chocolate hazelnut because I never ever tried Nutella (and am never going to). Fall can’t come soon enough!
Coconut milk kefir is exciting news too! I am really impressed with the Purely Decadent coconut milk ice creams, so kefir…that one should be good!
Coconut milk kefir? Woo hoo!
Hi CCV, I’m new to the blog world and just love yours! I learned about you from Susan at Fat Free Vegan. I love Lara Bars!!! I haven’t seen the new flavor in Hawaii yet. I don’t know if you have a Costco near you but you can get a whole box super cheap! It’s great!
P.S. I can’t believe someone would make such a rude comment about your eating habits. I haven’t even had the chance to explore your entire blog and I can tell you’re a well-rounded eater. That person didn’t even bother to read your blog! Anyways, keep doing your thing! Great response post!
Oh! I just saw the kefir product! SOOOO cool!! I’ll totally keep my eye out. Thanks for this page!
I just got a sample package of Larabars in the mail and two of the new flavors were included. Can’t wait to try them. I didn’t get the German Chocolate Cake one though
Frozen french toast sticks?! Yes!!! (I think Ian’s is the company that also makes frozen vegan french toast sticks, but don’t waste your money on those – they are just awful!)
P.S. I still haven’t found the new Larabar flavors! Drat.
!!! French Toast sticks !!!
I am very excited about Van’s products (we are gluten-free here). Also, the Justin’s PB and Lara bars…YUM!!!
AH, PB&J larabars!!!
OMG NEW LARABARS?????????
and coconut milk kefir??????????? you just got me sooo excited!!
thanks for all the product alerts! now i have stuff to look for to review for my product reviews!
Mini larabars sounds like a dream come true. I hate to harm the environment with all of the excess packing, but seriously I have NO portion control with those guys!
Thanks for the heads-up
The coconut milk Kefir sounds really interesting. I make kefir with soy milk quite often, so I might have a bash at making my own as I don’t expect it will make its way Merry Olde England.
I checked out the Van’s website — Van’s claims that all the organic and wheat-free waffles are vegan, but per the ingredients, they are NOT vegan. Grrrr!
(The two you posted are, of course, vegan.)
i was told by larabar that the minis are not available for their regular store customers! no way! and i can’t wait for the new flavors. i’ve been checking for them every time i go to whole foods or the co-op! but no, not here yet! i’m definitely going to be looking for those mini laras now. thanks for the update, chickadee.

I’m very excited about the coconut milk kefir!
Not only are those pancakes vegan… THEY ARE GLUTEN FREE!!!
Yay, new chocolate nut butters to try! I have some chocolate peanut butter from Target here that is disappearing rather quickly. I can’t wait to try the almond butter one.
Here’s a link to the page about the new coconut milk kefir. They’ve got photos and nutritionals there, too. I can’t wait to try the vanilla and the strawberry.
http://turtlemountain.com/products/coconut_milk_kefir.html
I just tried the plain kefir and all three new larabars!!
http://dontwhitesugarcoatit.blogspot.com/2009/07/larabars-and-coconut-milk-kefir.html
I probably won’t buy the kefir again, but the larabars are fabulous!!e
Mini Larabars at Whole Foods! How cute! I wish they would sell them individually so I could buy 2 flavors and eat them both instead of a regular-sized bar (for variety and fun, of course!).
Anyway, Larabar update: I have now spotted the 3 new Larabar flavors at one of my local WFM’s, but not all of them. Yet.
And where are those darned chocolate Justin’s nut butters! CCV and RRV want some NOW!
I still have yet to see those new Larabar flavors here in Vancouver! However, since my boyfriend is going to be in Seattle this coming weekend, he said that he’d stop at a wholefoods and grab some for me, as well as a few other things that I can’t seem to find here. Yayy
Just thought you should know there is a recall on some of the Vans pancakes due to undeclared wheat, egg and milk ingredients. Here’s the info: http://news.prnewswire.com/ViewContent.aspx?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/08-20-2009/0005080394&EDATE=
Some of the items marked “vegan” contain honey, as well. WTF?
Raw Cashini Buter! Raw Cacao Buttter! Wow, I will definitely be on the lookout for those. Yum!
What did you think of the tempeh strips?? I haven’t tried them yet and don’t know if I should – it’d be my first tempeh experience!
Hey Sarah,
.
They’re available at my Whole Foods here. I HIGHLY recommend them, because they’re already flavored (unlike reg tempeh) so you can’t go wrong cooking them
Someone was doing a demo for the new clif bars I think, yesterday at my local grocery store. I didn’t pay much attention because my daughter has life-threatening allergies to tree nuts. That’s neat that Soyatoo came out with a rice version! Interesting. I’ve tried the soy one, it’s good!
Just bought the Marinated tempeh maple bacon– super excited to try! Not sure how new it is on the market, but it’s new to me!
Ooh let me know what you think! I’ve never had it. P.S. sending you a twitter msg sometime tonight!
Justin’s Dark Chocolate PB Cups? If I ever come across these I must try them!
As for Turtle Mountain coconut milk I have to agree with you I got an unsweetened one and it tasted awful!
I have tried the regular Clif Granola bars and I found them to be way to sweet for my taste! and they are so thin as well.
I was so excited when I saw the pb cups at Whole Foods… but they only had the milk chocolate ones
.
Oh no! Shame on you Whole Foods!
Hey now!
My Whole Foods I work for carries both – the dark ones just sell out while the milk don’t.
It’s not WFM fault the vegan ones are tastier. Hah.
Yeah indeed. The vegan ones are better although I’ve never had the Justin’s milk(nor am I going to). Dark chocolate is way nummier then milk any who.
How can you not love mini lara bars????? They’re LITTLE! Haha. I love anything tiny.
WOW! I am super excited about the vegan Tweets and So Delicious coconut milk Greek yogurt and egg nog! And coconut curry tempeh strips? Woo hoo!
I’m most excited for the chocolate mint!
everything looks so amazing!!! aahhhh
i cannot wait!
YEE HAH!!!
Thanks for sharing Katie
<3
I just discovered Coconut Bliss and LOVE it! can’t tell you how terrific it is and how I imagine it saving me from my sweet tooth and love of ice cream.
I tried three of the four new Coconut Bliss flavors at Expo West and they were great (the Chocolate Brownie was the best). The So Delicious Egg Nog was fab and Cascade Fresh has a new non-dairy almond-based yogurt sweetened with fruit juice, too. Amy’s Kitchen launched some great organic sandwich rounds as well. There are so many great new products coming out this year.
Ooo so jealous you actually got to go!
thanks for the shout out, chocolate-covered katie! <3
Aww, thank YOU for compiling such an incredible post! (And for making me so freakin jealous that I live in Texas, not California!
)
OH MY!!! Stevia-sweetened coconut milk ice-cream? I really hope my local health food store begins to stock this! It’ll be a godsend for a vegan diabetic such as myself
The ice cream is actually sweetened with erythritol. No clue why they didn’t use stevia! But I’m interested to try the milk
.
Pardon my language, but holy hell, stevia sweetened coconut milk ice-cream?!? I think I just died and went to heaven….hmm, not sure what’s up with all the afterlife references. Ice-cream will do that to you I guess.
Aw, you’re welcome! I HAD to share all the lovely lovely new vegan products from quarrygrl.com when I saw them!!! Yay for coconut taking over the world! I can’t wait to try the greek yogurt – see what all the fuss is about
I could not possibly be more excited for those Candle Cafe frozen meals.
Yes! Almond Breeze is the best! They haven’t had anything new in a while.
Katie
Do you know where to find the coconut Greek yogurt? I have been looking for it at all my coops, natural foods and whole foods stores but can’t find it. Can’t wait till I can eat some sugars again so I can try the new bars, I love the mojos and Luna’s.
Thanks for the update
Ann
The new Mojo bars are delicious! I love them! Is the chocolate almond coconut bar vegan? That one is excellent too!
Iced oatmeal cookie for cliff? Omg…I have to try that I can’t wait til it comes out. I love the cliff kid’s bars
Thanks Katie!!!
The new Amy’s Gluten Free Tofu Scramble wraps are delicious!
Gluten free, vegan and no corn ingredients. So nice! 
I will be on the lookout for the Luna and Larry’s Ginger Cookie Caramel flavor! That sounds AMAZING.
The Earth Balance peanut butter coconut spread is literally deadly good. I have to hide it from myself no joke to prevent myself from eating it all in one sitting. I have never tasted anything so heavenly in my life. It is too good to even eat with anything mixed in-Just the spoon and the jar is all I need
OK, good to know. (I already have a peanut butter “problem”). I was kind of concerned about that myself.
Katie,
I absolutely LOVE when you post new food finds!!! Thank you!
I was hoping you were going to have a giveaway…. lol. But these look delicious!
I love love love the almond breeze coconut almond milk too!
I just googled the new Luna Bars and their website informed me that the bars are currently only available at Target. If Target wasn’t already amazing enough, here’s another reason.
That coconut and peanut butter spread looks awesome.
I’ve tried the earth balance coconut peanut butter and is actually not a fan of it. It’s too bad because I have such high expectations for it! I’ll keep my coconut butter and peanut butter separate from now on
I just bought it today. I even bought the creamy because that is all the store stocked (I am a chunky peanut butter person).
It isn’t exactly what I expected either but I am still trying to decide if I like it or not. I also just don’t much care for sweetened peanut butter and although the agave is light I think that might have been the larger issue.
I liked the toasted coconut of it and gosh the smell of it! I think its strength might be in sauces. For example, I happened to be making something with cauliflower at the same time and it was excellent with the cauliflower.
I was actually relieved that I didn’t want to sit down with a spoon and just start eating it because that is pretty much my relationship with most peanut butter.
You made a good point on the agave and using it in sauces. I think I’ll make Thai peanut sauce from it!
That is kind of where I am leaning with it (the sauces – seriously, it was amazing on the cauliflower). Probably not something I will regularly “need” in my life but I am still creatively working with it.
If you want to try something like the coconut peanut butter spread, you could always mix it at home yourself! A personal favorite nut butter of mine is actually 2/3 peanuts and 1/3 coconut. It’s like peanut butter… but with a coconutty taste to it! Pretty much awesome. I usually do 500 grams of peanuts (salted & roasted) and 150 grams dried shredded coconut!
Wow! That is actually a great idea and no added sweetener. I will have to try this.
Yes, it’s awesome! It’s got the saltiness of the peanuts, but then the sweetness of the coconut. A true taste explosion in your mouth
I will totally try that – it sounds like a flavor I would be all over.
VERY excited about the almond milk ice cream! I love the coconut milk SoDelicious, but sometimes I wish it didn’t have quite so much of a coconutty taste.
I’ll have to check out the So Delicious with almond milk! I adore their coconut milk versions, I bet these are delish, too. YUM!
How funny! I just bought the peanut butter with coconut oil and Coconut chocolate silk yesterday! My son is a huge coconut fan, so I thought he would enjoy it and he did! The peanut butter really is wonderful!
I’m not sure if the strawberry pb Luna fiber is vegan, I heard that one may contain milk…so it might bevworth checking out. Sorry if I’m wrong!
It seemed vegan when I read the ingredients. Plus, it’s on Vegnews’ website (they’re a vegan magazine)… But of course mistakes can be made and I’ll definitely check the label if/when I buy one
.
I just read on their site that the strawberry pb one may contain traces of dairy, located under the Luna fiber “FAQ” I’m not sure if they just have to give that warning but it really is vegan for some reason or not…curious tho.
I checked out their site and noticed that too. I think it depends kind of the vegan that you are. I fully admit I eat things all the time with the “traces of dairy” or shared dairy equipment warning, but I know vegans that do not.
My guess is it isn’t in the ingredients but they have to cover themselves for the shared equipment.
Ohh I’ll have to look for those new Artisana products! I love everything they put out.
seeing these things on your site makes me… totally jealous! veganism is pretty unheard of in this part of the world (though vegetarianism is totally normal for lots of people) so things like almond milk is freaking expensive! all these wonderful things, i can’t have since it’s just not available here… makes me soooo sad!
on the other hand, things like coconut milk, agar-agar and soy milk are pretty cheap. we’ve got this soy milk pudding (not quite tofu, I think) here that’s divine, but not so healthy because it’s doused in palm sugar syrup. ; )
adore your site to itty bitty bits. somehow keep finding new (old) stuff even though I’ve been following you for weeks!
Aw thank you! And I completely know what you mean… I went vegan while I was living in China, so even when I would find an American vegan product, it’d be expensive! But there were some great vegan products (local) that I miss now that I’m not living there anymore!
I noticed you have the Pretzel Lara bars listed and I tried them and they are AMAZING! But I later noticed that they have the Brown Rice Sugar in them that is under much scrutiny at the moment for actually having toxic properties. Just an FYI.
The coconut-peanut spread sounds super yummy! Would love to see a coconut-almond spread. Have discovered I’ve grown increasingly sensitive to peanut butter…my poor heart pounds if I have more than a teaspoon of it.
And I don’t do well with coconut anything. But perhaps a mix of coconut and almond would make my body happy!
Thank you so much for all the work you do! Have just gotten into eating much healthier I am delighted to see what you are talking about, Makes the world of choices so much bigger!
Katie- I have the Peanut & Coconut Spread (crunchy though) SOO YUMMY!
I made my own coconut peanut spread. Mixed half homemade coconut butter with half natural pb, and a shot of coconut syrup. Nomnomnom. Stick to the roof of your mouth goodness!
I just stumbled upon this blog yesterday. I have been a vegetarian since I was 6 years old, and I am now wanting to go vegan. My worry was that I wouldn’t have any options for sweets or breads. (or tortillas, pita’s etc) From the recipes I’ve read on here…it looks like I shouldn’t worry…? Anyone have any helpful tips on how and where to start? Favorite recipes…? Thanks in advance!
I wrote this a long time ago, but hopefully it will be somewhat helpful. Good luck.
http://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2008/02/22/help-for-omnivores-interested-in-veganism/
Great product list! Really excited! The only thing is I take issues with cliff and Luna bars because they contain soy protein isolate. Whole soy protein is fine (I love my soy milk), but I was warned by a certified dietician to stay away from the isolate stuff. Apparently, it’s really bad for you. I really recommend people to look into it because it’s in a ton of products.
Hey Katie, just found the Almond Coconut Milk @my local food co-op. They also had vanilla and unsweetened. I have to finish my current coconut milk, but will report back as to how it tastes!!
