Products I like/Looking forward to try

• The Popcorn  was one of the items that I tried at The Green Festival this past weekend and liked so finding it in this month's box was a pleasant surprise.
• The coupon for Beyond Meat was another nice surprise because I purchased their southwestern style Chik'n recently and was looking forward to repurchasing it
• Finding Teese Vegan cheese was very exciting, I have been wanting to try their cheese for sometime. It melts very well and would work great for a grilled cheese!
• Although my brother ate most of it I did try the Sweet Potato flavored tortilla chips and liked them well enough. It has a hint of sweet potato, not to overpowering.

Products I am undecided on/Don't really care for

• I wasn't exactly thrilled by both Protein items from 22 nutritional only because I don't usually use protein powders or eat protein bars. I already have a few protein bars stocked up from previous boxes and have yet to try any of them. 
• The products I was the most disappointed in was Oloves only because I do not like olives. I gave them to my sister who likes olives and lemon, thinking she would like them but she did not. She described them as being greasy.
• I'm curious to see what the Red pepper and artichoke spread tastes but I am hesitant at the same time. 
• I normally don't like tea but seeing the Teecino Herbal coffee piqued my interest. I have yet to find a tea that I like but since this has hints of carob and hazelnuts I am looking towards to trying it.

All in all I am really glad with the products that I received in this month's box. In comparison to the boxes I have received in previous month's I am most likely to use the majority of the items included. I really think vegancuts is a great subscription service that always try's to include a variety of different products each month. 

NYC Vegetarian Food Festival: Vegancuts Mystery Bag

Yesterday I attended the Vegetarian food festival, and along with receiving some free samples I also bought a few things. One of the companies in attendance were vegancuts who had a mystery bag that you could buy for $20. Since I was very happy with my last vegancuts box I decided to buy it. Below are the pictures of everything included. I haven't tried anything yet but will within the next week or so.

Everything out of the bag

Cute little button

Ultima were at the festival so I had a chance to try their replenisher's before hand, I was glad to find a sample in the bag

Totally unexpected to get a gift card but still much appreciated

I was so happy to see this included in the bag because I have been wanting one

Same gummy candies that were in their box but these are sours

All in all I'm glad that I did purchase their mystery bag because they included a lot of products I had never heard of or tried. They also included a sticker of willtravelforveganfood . I would recommend signing up for their monthly subscription if you haven't already!

If your interested in seeing what kind of things I picked up at the Vegetarian Festival stay tuned for my next post!

Vegancuts

I'm excited to share with you what I received in my February Vegancuts box. Just like the consciousbox which I shared with you in my previous post, the vegancuts box is also a monthly subscription company. They box is filled with different vegan snacks as well as some vegan products. If you were looking to try out or discover new vegan snacks then this box is for you. The box is around $19 a month and you can chose how often you want it sent to you. What's great about vegancuts is the ability to shop for vegan products and food without subscribing to the monthly service. Although they do sell some products that are featured in their monthly products as well.

Taken straight from the Vegancuts website:
Vegan Cuts is run by a vegan couple, John and Jill, who really want to see more people shopping with vegan ethics. A commitment to buying vegan food is a great start, but you can also make a positive difference by choosing vegan options when purchasing clothing, shoes, accessories, body care products and everyday household items. This is why Vegan Cuts features a range of vegan products and encourages members to shop vegan by promoting opportunities to save money while eschewing animal cruelty.

Below I will share what products came in this months box.

A small sticker with the company's logo

A note from the founders of Vegancuts

An offer for an online cooking school and a free coupon code 

Now onto snacks 

A square of chocolate mint from the company Righteously Raw

A cherry filled chocolate from www.sjaaks.com

A raw bar from BudiFree

A peanut butter toffee crunch protein bar from PureFit

3 samples of tea packets (earl grey, chamomile blend and jasmine green tea) from Serengeti Tea Company

A packet of gummy candies from Surf Sweets

Toasted Coconut chips from Dang

Lentil Chips by the company Simply 

Hemp Lip Balm from by The Merry Hempsters

I was happy to see that a few products that had caught my eye in the supermarket were included in this months box. Although I haven't tried most of the snacks I did try a few with my sisters. The Lentil chips are good, sort of a cross between a potato chip and a tortilla chip in my opinion. My sister pointed out that the lentil chips taste like pork rinds and I have to admit they do (how ironic). The chocolate mint is bitter but that's to be expected since its 82% raw cacao. The cherry chocolate heart is my favorite because it wasn't bitter and I did enjoy both flavors. The gummy candies were just like regular gummy candies only not too sweet (I'm not into candy but my sister really liked it). The last things we tried was the toasted coconut chips which were slivers of hard coconuts. The package says it can be used with yogurt, cereals and the like but I'm still on the fence on what I would pair it with. 

Hope you enjoyed this post and those that are vegan or just interested in vegancuts should definitely sign up and see how they like it.
