Vegan Market Haul & Taste Tests!

Hey everyone! I hope that you are all doing well and that you had a great weekend. Things are ok here.  I decided to visit the Sweet To Lick Market (the all vegan market near me!) on Friday to see what I could find. I went in there for one or two things but of course you can't just walk out of an all vegan market with one or two things. I figured I'd share my haul with you and also let you know what I think about some of the new products I've tried from the haul!


So here is my haul. I went in because I heard that they had a bunch of WayFare products and they did not disappoint! I had a hard time choosing but I walked out with the chocolate pudding (this was a given, it was the reason I went in) and the Creamy French Onion Dip! I am also a big liar because I said I would not repurchase the corn dogs but they are so good and last me a while so I decided to pick up another bag while I had access to them. I also grabbed some Follow Your Heart American style slices for grilled cheese, two of the McDougall's Spring Onion noodle soup cups and these Cassava Strips which a yuca chips. I love yuca and I love chips so I figured I couldn't go wrong.


I couldn't wait to get into my haul so I made myself an amazing grilled cheese on sourdough bread with some of the cassava chips and onion dip on the side. 


As you can see the onion dip is super creamy and it's really good you guys. I was so pleasantly surprised by how authentic it tasted and even smelled! It was great with the cassava chips which are light and super crunchy. It was a great combination and a really filling, satisfying comfort type meal.


There is an Asian restaurant in between the vegan market and vegan bakery and they recently added a vegan menu! I am so excited to give it a try and saw this menu outside while I was heading over to the market. I snapped a picture to have it for my reference since the menu isn't online yet so I figured I'd share it with you. Vegan sesame chicken? Yes please!


The reason I went to the market was to grab some of the Wayfare Chocolate Pudding because I had seen they started carrying it in an Instagram post. I was so glad I wasn't too late and I was able to grab it! It was the think I was most excited to try and you guys, I was not disappointed! Unlike vegan yogurt which tends to be disappointment after disappointment this stuff was absolutely incredible. It is thick and creamy and has a nice chocolate flavor. The only thing is that, to me, it almost has a little bit of a saltiness to it. I don't know if that is just my weird taste buds but it didn't hurt the flavor for me, just something I noticed. I'm so happy that it lived up to expectations and I definitely see some fun summer desserts happening with this stuff!


I went to Target on Sunday and found this blueberry grape kombucha and thought the flavor sounded so interesting! And it was only $2.79! I am pretty sure that is a great price for kombucha. It is a bit tart and has a great berry flavor and I really like it. I would definitely pick this up again, especially for the price!

So that's what I have for today! I thought it would be fun to review some of the products for you and I hope it was helpful! I'll be back on Friday with some stuff I'm eating this week :)

Hope you all have a great week!

OMG the grilled cheese with chips and onion dip!!! I am seriously drooling. That definitely seems like the perfect comfort meal. I need to find that dip!! I have had their pudding an it is really tasty too!
I still haven't been able to find any of the new field roast products but I hope to someday. I'll definitely cheat with those corn dogs!

Your grilled cheese with chips & dip looks so, so good; I still haven't tried the Follow Your Heart slices! The chocolate pudding sounds great, too!

I would love to try that onion dip! Mmmm! I liked their onion-y cream cheese since I thought it tasted like Sour Cream and Onion. I can only imagine the dip would be perfect.

That meal was so freaking amazing. Apparently grilled cheese is my thing haha. The WayFare products are great, I hope you can find them!

The corn dogs are awesome. They are pricey but would be a worth it splurge! I'm actually tempted to try the hot dogs because I like them so much!

Sarah said...

Thank you!! Definitely try the Follow Your Heart slices. They melt the best to me, way better than Chao even. The pudding was awesome! Summer dessert game changer!

Sarah said...

I debated the cream cheese but have had bad experiences with vegan cream cheese except Tofutti. I'm going to have to give it a try! I hope you can find the dip, it's great!

Jennifer said...

I would skip the cream cheese. It is fine, but not as thick and tangy as Tofutti. I ended up using the cream cheese mostly for a dip, but seeing how they actually HAVE a dip, I don't see much point in the cream cheese lol

Ahhh good to know! Thanks! I hope you can find the dip!
