I mentioned in a previous post about how eating vegan can be surprisingly simple. However, part of being vegan is that you get to experiment with all the fun stuff!
I love trying new things. Especially when it comes to food. Some of my favourites are tofu and almond milk. I also have an obsession with seeking out tempeh, nutritional yeast, and coconut butter because I really want to try those!
Recently I found some soy yogurt in my grocery store. I was so excited because it’s something I've wanted to try. I bought the raspberry flavoured Nancy's Soy Yogurt.
As soon as I could I opened up the yogurt container, dipped my spoon inside, and... I didn't like it. It smelled funny, was very runny, and tasted almost sour. No matter, I took a bite then another bite and... I started to like it! This brand tastes just like fresh raspberries plucked right off the bush. I'm not sure if I'd buy it again but I defiantely was happy I tried it!
I've seen this survey going around and I thought it was about time I joined in on the fun!

What is your favourite food product or what do you really want to try?
I really like soy yogurt! I don't buy it often because it's a bit more expensive than regular, but when I was vegan I bought it occasionally and really liked it.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this post! I want to do that list....
ReplyDeleteI hate Soy Yogurt. Blech. I'll stick to my Greek ;)
But you must try Tempeh and Coconut Butter!! So good! I just wish it weren't so expensive to enjoy more :(
I really love that you do a Vegan Friday, what a great idea! You should definitely add smoked tofu to your list of vegan things to try, it's so much better than regular tofu.
ReplyDeleteDo you still do figure skating? I used to before we moved, and now I miss it so much :(
Hi Helena
ReplyDeleteSmoked tofu sounds good. I'll have to keep my eye out for it
Yes I do still figure skate but I am not as competitive as I once was or would like to be
Tempeh.. yuck! I also love peanut butter. I like putting it into my oatmeal in the mornings.
ReplyDeleteI'm really interested in trying nutritional yeast as a cheese substitute. I will never, ever give up cheese, but I'd like to see how close it is.. or if it's any good at all.
Have you tried seitan? I like how chewy it is.
