New Product Alerts

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!

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:)

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.

I just tried the plain kefir and all three new larabars!!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

thanks for the shout out, chocolate-covered katie! <3

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 😛

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 🙂

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

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!

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.

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!

Ohh I’ll have to look for those new Artisana products! I love everything they put out.

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!

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!

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!

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!!

You can find the new Luna Fiber bars at Target, but not in the food section. Over by the pharmacy with protein powders and such. And the new Earth Balance Coconut Peanut Butter is AMAZING!!!!! Got some last week and it lasted for 5 days! AGH!!!!!! SO GOOD!!!!!

i was just wondering where i can find all this stuff?! deff not at walmart and publix! lol
i would love to try so many of these but cant ever find not one from the list except maybe the milk and the ice cream 🙁

Please make a recipe for homemade Luna fiber bars! They’re soo delicious!

Katie, do you eat the Clif Builder Bars? What’s your opinion on them?

The vegan Mac & Cheese from the Candle Cafe is amazing. I picked it up on a whim – I’m not even vegan – and was surprised at how great it was. Frozen dinners usually leave something to be had, they’re missing freshness and flavor, but not this one. After nuking it for a few minutes I have a bowl of cheesy pasta that tastes like it just came from the back of the restaurant’s kitchen. ^_^

This is a great page! I’m in love with a lot of the products on this page. I found Lara bars over a year ago, and I love them! Less then a year ago I found something I like even better. It is the Just Great Stuff food bars by Betty Lou’s. And they are organic. It comes in four flavors: Cacao Acai, Chocolate Dream Greans, Fruit and Veggi, and Superberry Acai. By far the best one is Chocolate Dream Greans. The Fruit and Veggi bars have the most unique flavor, which I think is the most fun to try.
