Lol I ate so much in this taste test. 😂 I didn't realize it till I was editing all the footage. What are your favorite vegan snacks??? What things do I need to try out next!?
This video is 28 minutes old, but you posted this comment nine hours ago? Also I love Earth Balance but the Palm Oil makes me feel like a jerk. Do you have access to Myakos butter? Is it worth the money for someone who doesn't have access to it at their local Whole Foods?
Would like to see a vegan protein powder taste test or vegan protein bar taste test, as usually those are not very good, taste wise and before I waste my money I'd like to know your recommendations. (ps. please get them from Iherb, cause they ship internationally, Thrive doesn't)
Earth Balance Kettle Cooked Cheddar Flavor potato chips are where it's at! Unreal Almond Butter cups... Dope AF. Trader Joe's Vegan Trail Mix Cookies.... you can take me to heaven now Vegan Goddess! 😋
Sarah I love your channel and you have taught me so much. I’ve only been vegan since September of 2017 and you helped me stay the course with great recipes and advice. Thanks Sarah!!!!
A fun tasting video. I've known most of my life I can't tolerate sugar alcohols like erythritol but I bought some after Dr Greger recommended and articles online said it wasn't as diarrhea causing. I used it and felt like I was dieing of food poisoning. It took me days to recover. So I gave it to one of my daughters and she likes it a lot. So I don't eat things with that sweetener but I really want to try all the savory stuff!
Interesting! I guess I don't know all that much about sugar alcohols and the science behind them, so I didn't really pay attention to how they might have affected my digestion.
I work for Thrive Market. That Earth Balance popcorn is one of the best things we sell in my opinion! My day is made when there’s some in the break area.
You and Kate flower are my favorite vegan youtubers! I’m really intrigued to switch to a vegan life style. All of these videos really help! Thank you guys and from the videos I watch Kate loves cashew butter.
Coconut jellies have to be one of my favorite indulgences, especially lychee coconut jellies. I just got a big jar of 30 for $4 in my local Chinatown and am trying to prevent myself from eating them all in one day haha.
Really trust your taste tests, Sarah. You're very thorough & descriptive & I feel like I know JUST what you mean. I've purchased plenty on your recommendation and I'm never sorry. Would you consider testing something fruity, like fruit snacks or chews? I hate the conventional ones with gelatin in them. Thx for your great & thoughtful vids! You're the best!
At the moment, it seems there's no way to be a super sustainable junk food vegan :'^( heck it's even hard to be less wasteful when buying regular vegan food unless you're a whole foods vegan.
Can you do a vegan protein powder taste test or recommend your favorites? I'm feeling overwhelmed looking through all of them, and I was wondering what you preferred.
My favorite is the Snap Pea crisps, or their lentil crisps. I'm hooked. I need to try Earth Balance's snacks. Also, right after I went vegan, I went to get some snacks and was so proud of myself.... until I got home and realized out of habit I had bought gummy bears.... lol. Gave them away. It was a sad day...
Vegan Rob's line of products are all good. They have a variety of chips and puffs. I get them a lot of times at Home Goods at a discount price. Otherwise I also get them and a lot of other things at thrive market. : )
The earth balance kettle chips are to die for. I love the cheddar and sour cream and onion flavors. I also like the Stacey's vegan chips, enjoy life plentil chips and the new york style pita chip. I live in Canada so we don't have thrives. I order from vitacost.com.
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen lol yup they do. Check out their website. Since u live in the States u probably have more luck finding it locally. It's sold out on vitacost.com and I'm still waiting for them to restock it
Ita about the texture of the Primal jerky even though most of the flavors are good. I need to try the Louisville jerky. Awesome that you are in Colorado! I live south of Denver.
I'd love to see a ranch dressing taste test. As a new vegan I miss my ranch! I'll admit to being a ranch dressing snob. The only ranch I would eat was Hidden Valley or whatever ranch they use at Wing Stop. I've seen different vegan ranch options at the store but I haven't really seen many reviews so I don't know which would be my best option.
Funny that you said that the Earth Balance cheese squares taste exactly like Cheez-Its, because I recently watched a video of some (very biased) non-vegans trying it and they thought it tasted nothing like the original lol.
Just tried Raw Rev organic bars-several different flavors including a protein bar variety. (They call themselves a vegan company.) I had the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor today, and it was super delicious. Very close taste/texture to the real deal.
Good morning Sarah! Clicked on this right away! Love your videos! Especially these taste test videos! Have you ever tried sriracha coconut chips! I love them!
I enjoy the hippeas, they're available in the United Kingdom through Asda and Holland and Barrett but I have only seen the earth balance brand through Amazon but I will try it sometime.
I've tried the chocolate cup things too I had the peppermint ones since I've missed York peppermint patties but I could not eat it the chalky grainy texture was too strong
The Forager chipotle BBQ chips and the Chimes hard candies are so much better than the options that you tried. You should be sure to try other varieties!
My boyfriend loves the Earth balance cheddar squares! Perfect dupe to convert cheese-it lovers! Im not a snacker myself but he is. So these taste test videos are so helpful :D
Oh and I forgot to add that even tho I'm not much of a snack person, I liked the cheddar squares a lot too. I never liked the dairy cheese its before i was vegan anyway, but this version, I actually really did like!
i trust your taste, since your top 3 are all snacks i absolutely adore. they stopped selling all 3 of them ( so sad ) at my local grocery store so i have to order from thrive market now!
I love the Texas BBQ Primal strips, I try to always have them with me, but you're right, they have a kind of sauce to them and it's weird if I'm not in a spot to lick my fingers. I've been looking for the Louisville jerky since that taste test with your sister, can you find it in stores? Also those Earth Balance cheez its are so addicting I love them so much
I know a lot of youtubers sponsored by thrive market say that it’s cheaper than grocery stores but for some reason I don’t actually see much of a price difference ...?
Oh my god you NEED to try the dang coconut chips. The caramel sea salt flavor is my absolute favorite I can't recommend it enough! Better yet, there are only 3 ingredients! Coconut, Coconut Sugar, Sea Salt.
I just wish more places had more choices. Where I live, it's slim pickings. Watching you and Vegan Zombie just makes me hungry for stuff I can't get easy lol
I saw in other comments that you moved to CO! How are you adjusting I live in WY so not that far off and I moved here from CA transition was a bit rough due to the weather change the least to say! Saw so many things that will be going on my to buy list
Loving it so far! A lot less busy here than the bay area and so many vegan options. I actually don't mind the snow/cold that much compared to the gray skies and rain in SF.
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen I’m so glad you’re adjusting well! Boulder is my favourite city in vicinity to where I am! It’s such a chill and lowkey vibe there hopefully one day I can have a place there 🤞🏾 It’s a cool 2 degrees right now in WY and unfortunately i have errands to run 🙃😒
I love some of these snacks, but the first bag of Vegan Rob's I bought was more than half a bag of air..it was disappointing...maybe I got a faulty bag..haha
Are you in Boulder permanently or just a vacation? No worries if its too personal. I just don't know if I missed a video of you explaining. I really want to try that pudding out. Pudding was definitely my favorite prevegan snack.
When I watch videos like this I really enjoy them, but they also make me wonder... Lots of these snacks look like they should be consumed soon after opening or they'll loose their crunch. How do you deal with that? Doesn't it sort of suck that all bags are opened at once? I think I would try to eat a lot of it (or all) at once and skip a meal or something like that. But sometimes youtubers open so many bags that I have no clue how they deal with it alone. I mean are taste tests something you do before inviting friends over?
Thank you for the taste test. Next time you are in the San Diego area you should check out Blind Lady Ale House. They have an amazing vegan pesto pizza.
I felt like the cheddar squares tastes more like cheese nips than cheese its. I think they are my least favorite earth balance snack, but I love their popcorns and white cheddar puffs!
:) Hoping you do a meet-up at some point!! I'm moving to Denver in a few months to start a new adventure and would add that to my list of things to do to learn the area xD lol
Carrageenan is an ingredient that is non-digestable. That's y weneva I purchase diaya cheese r any other vegan cheese I make sure this ingredient is free from the list
Lol I ate so much in this taste test. 😂 I didn't realize it till I was editing all the footage. What are your favorite vegan snacks??? What things do I need to try out next!?
This video is 28 minutes old, but you posted this comment nine hours ago?
Also I love Earth Balance but the Palm Oil makes me feel like a jerk. Do you have access to Myakos butter? Is it worth the money for someone who doesn't have access to it at their local Whole Foods?
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen i like how quick and right to the point you were in this video. Good job 👍
Would like to see a vegan protein powder taste test or vegan protein bar taste test, as usually those are not very good, taste wise and before I waste my money I'd like to know your recommendations. (ps. please get them from Iherb, cause they ship internationally, Thrive doesn't)
Earth Balance Kettle Cooked Cheddar Flavor potato chips are where it's at! Unreal Almond Butter cups... Dope AF. Trader Joe's Vegan Trail Mix Cookies.... you can take me to heaven now Vegan Goddess! 😋
I got a crush on you. hahahaha lol. just kidding. good job on the videos. high five!
Sarah I love your channel and you have taught me so much. I’ve only been vegan since September of 2017 and you helped me stay the course with great recipes and advice. Thanks Sarah!!!!

Interesting! I guess I don't know all that much about sugar alcohols and the science behind them, so I didn't really pay attention to how they might have affected my digestion.
Forager actually uses the pulp from their pressed juices for their chips. Their rep told me when they did sampling at my store..☺
That's so cool! Way to be resourceful.
My fav
I work for Thrive Market. That Earth Balance popcorn is one of the best things we sell in my opinion! My day is made when there’s some in the break area.

Also, the Earth Balance white cheddar popcorn sounds so good! I think I'll check my local health food store today to see if they have it!
Really trust your taste tests, Sarah. You're very thorough & descriptive & I feel like I know JUST what you mean. I've purchased plenty on your recommendation and I'm never sorry. Would you consider testing something fruity, like fruit snacks or chews? I hate the conventional ones with gelatin in them. Thx for your great & thoughtful vids! You're the best!
You should make vegan rice pudding!
oooh Yes please!! I LOVE rice pudding
I just wish thrive used less plastics :/ all those wrappings go to a landfill
At the moment, it seems there's no way to be a super sustainable junk food vegan :'^(
heck it's even hard to be less wasteful when buying regular vegan food unless you're a whole foods vegan.
I was literally thinking the same thing :(
I've had the Cocomel bites they are amazing. thanks for the review.
I loved how real this taste test was. Most seem too overly analytical and seem embarrassed to continue eating something if they enjoy it.
Can you do a vegan protein powder taste test or recommend your favorites? I'm feeling overwhelmed looking through all of them, and I was wondering what you preferred.
Did the product with honey come up while using the vegan filter? If so, you should really let them know.
My favorite is the Snap Pea crisps, or their lentil crisps. I'm hooked. I need to try Earth Balance's snacks. Also, right after I went vegan, I went to get some snacks and was so proud of myself.... until I got home and realized out of habit I had bought gummy bears.... lol. Gave them away. It was a sad day...
Thanks for this video, definitely help me know what to try. If you liked toffee, you need to try softer than brittle! It is soooo good!!
Vegan Rob's line of products are all good. They have a variety of chips and puffs. I get them a lot of times at Home Goods at a discount price. Otherwise I also get them and a lot of other things at thrive market. : )
Ooh Home Goods has so much good stuff!
We just got some great vegan snacks from Home Goods today! ❤️
Home goods sells all the beanfields chips for 2$. It's dangerous for me to go there
The earth balance kettle chips are to die for. I love the cheddar and sour cream and onion flavors. I also like the Stacey's vegan chips, enjoy life plentil chips and the new york style pita chip. I live in Canada so we don't have thrives. I order from vitacost.com.
I had no clue Earth Balance made kettle chips in those flavors!!! What!? I need to find those ASAP!
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen lol yup they do. Check out their website. Since u live in the States u probably have more luck finding it locally. It's sold out on vitacost.com and I'm still waiting for them to restock it
Off-topic but cute sweater 💖
thanks!
That Go Raw brand has lemon and ginger snap "cookies" versions of their snacks that are TO DIE FOR. you need them in your life.
I love thrive market! Makes vegan shopping so much easier. And it’s free for military :)
I love that you edited every bite of those Cheeto puffs and admitted you couldn't stop 😂💯
I'm vegan but I have to admit that I started the video only to see you and your sweater OMG it's wonderful
Sweater goals
Ita about the texture of the Primal jerky even though most of the flavors are good. I need to try the Louisville jerky. Awesome that you are in Colorado! I live south of Denver.
Please make a vegan rice or tapioca pudding recipe!
Caitlin Morales I need both on my life
I'd love to see a ranch dressing taste test. As a new vegan I miss my ranch! I'll admit to being a ranch dressing snob. The only ranch I would eat was Hidden Valley or whatever ranch they use at Wing Stop. I've seen different vegan ranch options at the store but I haven't really seen many reviews so I don't know which would be my best option.
Lettey B the Hampton creek just ranch is AMAZING. I find it at stop and shop :)
Vita Coco coconut milk taste really good in pudding
I searched the world for vegan jell-o around the holidays. I try to avoid the carrageenan but for something special i would try this version!
The jerky is sooo good! My boyfriend who eats meat got me that for Valentine’s Day and he ate more of it than I did!!!!
JELLO SHOTS ON THE WAY oh baby
Funny that you said that the Earth Balance cheese squares taste exactly like Cheez-Its, because I recently watched a video of some (very biased) non-vegans trying it and they thought it tasted nothing like the original lol.
Also, unrelated, I really like the color scheme of that couch haha! :)
I luv Earth Balance snacks especially their chips
was it cody ko and his girlfriend lol? i watched that too
Madeleine Mironuk Haha yep!
I love Cheez-Its, and i agree, those taste nothing like them. They're gross which makes me sad.
Oooh I’ve been looking for a jello alternative to make Jell-O shots lol
Demi Dubach Good to know... Do you know the brand by any chance?
Yeah I've tried the BaKol jellO too and it works great! I got it at Sprouts.
Just tried Raw Rev organic bars-several different flavors including a protein bar variety. (They call themselves a vegan company.) I had the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor today, and it was super delicious. Very close taste/texture to the real deal.
Good morning Sarah! Clicked on this right away! Love your videos! Especially these taste test videos! Have you ever tried sriracha coconut chips! I love them!
no i haven't! i've been curious about those coconut chips with flavoring.
Hey you shouldve drank water to take out the taste of foods because you tried different ones so it kinda combines. Love your sweater tho👍🏽😋
Have you tried the Earth Balance white cheddar puffs? They're my fav!
Not yet! Need to get my hands on some ASAP!
Just added soo many of these to my wishlist
I enjoy the hippeas, they're available in the United Kingdom through Asda and Holland and Barrett but I have only seen the earth balance brand through Amazon but I will try it sometime.
I've tried the chocolate cup things too I had the peppermint ones since I've missed York peppermint patties but I could not eat it the chalky grainy texture was too strong
Impressed that a non native said Louisville right! Killin the game
I really appreciate your honesty👍
tapioca pudding was my childhood!! um and I love you lady. das all
Lovely video, like always! The editing with every bite was great!
The Forager chipotle BBQ chips and the Chimes hard candies are so much better than the options that you tried. You should be sure to try other varieties!
My husband doesn’t like the jerky! Maybe we need to try a different flavor!
Everything looks so delicious! Especially the Cocomel Bites!
Veleanoria those are so good!
Thank you for this video I just ordered the Louisville jerky (native Kentuckian) it’s good!
I love taste tests, especially yours Sarah!!
I just bought the 2 jerkies!! I'm detoxing right now so I can't try them yet, but I will when it's over. Thanks for the review girlie!
Gonna need to try the jello for jello shots!! Yess
your review was so helpful for this baby 🌱 vegan!!
My boyfriend loves the Earth balance cheddar squares! Perfect dupe to convert cheese-it lovers!
Im not a snacker myself but he is. So these taste test videos are so helpful :D
Oh and I forgot to add that even tho I'm not much of a snack person, I liked the cheddar squares a lot too. I never liked the dairy cheese its before i was vegan anyway, but this version, I actually really did like!
We need Thrive Market in Canada!! Or maybe we don't, I feel like I'd spend so much on it haha
i trust your taste, since your top 3 are all snacks i absolutely adore. they stopped selling all 3 of them ( so sad ) at my local grocery store so i have to order from thrive market now!

Also those Earth Balance cheez its are so addicting I love them so much
I've only seen the louisville ones in Whole Foods!
I know a lot of youtubers sponsored by thrive market say that it’s cheaper than grocery stores but for some reason I don’t actually see much of a price difference ...?
I love your sweater,you look so good in it:) This video was very informative, I'm like you,I'm a salty girl,lol!♡
Thank you! :) and yes salty snacks all the way!!
The Cheeze-Its aren’t cheesy enough but they’re pretty good.
Oh my god you NEED to try the dang coconut chips. The caramel sea salt flavor is my absolute favorite I can't recommend it enough! Better yet, there are only 3 ingredients! Coconut, Coconut Sugar, Sea Salt.
I'll try some asap! :)
i wish thrive shipped to Canada we are so lackin in the delivery of cool vegan snack boxes!
Ive been wanting to try those earth balance squares they look so good 😋 also a boston creme doughnut recipe would be awesome!
I stilll need to try that vegan jerky!’
I also eat mostly savory foods as well.
Idk of they're vegan but coconut chips are my go-to when trying to be healthy but craving chips.
I Just noticed... your bar? in the background? Lol nice selection
You have to try the Go Raw chocolate cookies and ginger snaps!! They're so much better than the pizza ones👍
Are you now living in Colorado or just on an extended stay? I live in Denver and got so excited when you said you were in Colorado 😄
Living here for the time being. :) Love it!!!
Can we be friends? :) Have you gone into the Boulder Whole Foods and tried the Beyond Meat sausage yet?
Hey! If you’re traveling the U.S. any more this year you should check out the herbivorous butcher in Minneapolis!!
♥️💗❤️ always love your videos!!
I've heard of that place and it sounds amazing! I need to go for sure.
It’s soooo good and worth the stop!
I live in MN and am only 20 minutes from Minneapolis but never heard of this place before??? Is it pretty good??
They ship nationwide.
I LOVE HIPPEAS!!!
ALSOO love the vegan jerky
Ohh yes the hippeas are so crunchy
Sarah, did you move to Boulder or are you visiting??
I'm living here now.
Cool! I find it really interesting that Boulder has more vegan options than the Bay Area.
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen why?
Good snack haul! Thanks!!!
Vegan Robs cheese puffs are Amazing!!!! Love them 💜💜
I just wish more places had more choices. Where I live, it's slim pickings. Watching you and Vegan Zombie just makes me hungry for stuff I can't get easy lol
Unisoy also makes some excellent vegan jerky. Most authentic jerky I’ve found so far. You should give it a try. 😁👍
I really want to see you make some vegan jerky! Great video. ❤️
I saw in other comments that you moved to CO! How are you adjusting I live in WY so not that far off and I moved here from CA transition was a bit rough due to the weather change the least to say! Saw so many things that will be going on my to buy list
Loving it so far! A lot less busy here than the bay area and so many vegan options. I actually don't mind the snow/cold that much compared to the gray skies and rain in SF.

I like the chimes ginger candy. The cocomel candies are awesome but I've never tried the one u got
Great video! I’ve been wanting to try Thrive Market :) Did you move to Boulder?
Yep :)
Yes! I live in Colorado Springs. Not many vegan restaurants my way but I’ve heard there are many in Denver. I’ve only been to Native and it was ok.
Yum! I do like the cheezits from earth balance, but those cheese puffs look amazing!
Ugh they're a must-try! :)
just found your channel and i LOVE
I always make snack taste tests my lunch. It’s a given.
do you have any vegan instant ramen recommendations?
I love some of these snacks, but the first bag of Vegan Rob's I bought was more than half a bag of air..it was disappointing...maybe I got a faulty bag..haha
Are you in Boulder permanently or just a vacation? No worries if its too personal. I just don't know if I missed a video of you explaining. I really want to try that pudding out. Pudding was definitely my favorite prevegan snack.

I love how you showed the jerky like a Power Ranger
When I watch videos like this I really enjoy them, but they also make me wonder...

Doesn't it sort of suck that all bags are opened at once?

I mean are taste tests something you do before inviting friends over?
Haha yeah I shared a lot of the snacks so it wasn't a problem. :) I just roll them up super tight and squeeze the air tight after I'm done.
Mmm those cocomels are the bomb
OMG! every bite of those cheese puffs made me want them so much! torture hahah
Thank you for the taste test. Next time you are in the San Diego area you should check out Blind Lady Ale House. They have an amazing vegan pesto pizza.
that sounds amazing!
Definitely white cheddar Quinoa Puffs by Eat Real!!
I felt like the cheddar squares tastes more like cheese nips than cheese its. I think they are my least favorite earth balance snack, but I love their popcorns and white cheddar puffs!
My favorite accidentally vegan snack is the new Doritos blaze chips. Sooo delicious
ooh i need to try those.
Smart One (Or whatever that popcorn brand in the white bag) has a white cheddar popcorn that is vegan
:) Hoping you do a meet-up at some point!! I'm moving to Denver in a few months
to start a new adventure and would add that to my list of things to do to learn the area xD lol
Great Video ! Been wanting to try vegan robs snacks
Carrageenan is an ingredient that is non-digestable. That's y weneva I purchase diaya cheese r any other vegan cheese I make sure this ingredient is free from the list
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING
My favorite kinda videos! 👍👍👍
I had no idea they sold the vegan jello & pudding!!
I think I'll have to make a cheesecake and top it with some strawberries and that jello.
