I've been watching you for a while, and this is the first time I realized just now incredibly well you describe foods, to the point I feel like I'm eating them myself! It's admirable and super helpful :)
Thanks for making these videos! 💕
100% agree! I watch a lot of food content and love watching Nikki for this reason. 😇
Yesss! I started noticing this a while ago and she s soo good! She points out the source of each flavor and gets into each flavor profile!
Aw thank you so much for saying that! It really means a lot because I had to practice that, odd as it sounds! Lol when I first started, I would just say “yum” or “I don’t like that” but I realized it’s not helpful to just say I like it or don’t like it..so I practiced describing flavors and textures so I could explain what I was reacting to. I think it’s actually made me a better cook too because now I can identify what I like and don’t like more accurately. Win win! Anyway, I’m just so happy that it’s helpful/useful for you when you watch my videos. That’s so good to hear ☺️❤️
Thank you so much , I waste so much money trying vegan snacks because I am the only vegan in my family. Please keep these types of videos coming, this is how I found you!
That’s such good feedback, thank you! I’m so glad that you like these kinds of videos. I’m working on a new one now! Sauces this time ☺️☺️
Btw if you’re still in DC, I highly recommend checking out fancy radish (a more upscale vegan spot) and donuts from Elizabeth’s counter - some of the best vegan donuts I have ever had.
Thank you Rachel! I’m still here and I’ve only been to Fancy Radish once back in November so I’d LOVE to go back! And thanks for letting me know about Elizabeth’s! I haven’t heard of that place but donuts are my love language so this is very exciting. Thank you!!
I love the thrive market sweet potato chips. From the ground up nacho chips and the partake brownie mix!
I’ve had my eye on those! Thanks for the endorsement! Now I definitely want to try them. The nacho chips and brownie mix sounds great too! Geez so many amazing vegan options nowadays, it’s hard to keep up. Makes me proud of #teamvegan 🙌
I tried the Brami dip. Excellent. I’ve been having it as an afternoon snack with sliced cucumbers and pita chips. Would buy it again. ❤️
The garlic dill hummus from Aldi is delicious. You should try it if you have an Aldi near you.
Mustard pretzels! I'm older than you but I also forgot that I loved those as a kid, whatever happened to them? Definitely looking for these new ones xoxo
Right?? I was like did they go away or did I forget about them? Lol glad you can relate. Such a nostalgic flavor for me. Hope you enjoy if you try them!
You’re reaction to the Avocado Crisps was the same why I felt when I made a video about them this past summer. It was not what I thought either. Love your content!
haha great minds think alike! They're good but so not what I expected lol
I LOOOVED this video so much! Im a huge snacker and especially when the weather gets warmer I would rather have tons of snacks than large meals! Thanks so much for alway creating fun and informative videos! :) ALSO! My mom used to always buy me mustard pretzels when I was a kid and I had forgotten about them too! Im going to order those ASAP!
Aw thank you Lindsey! I have the biggest smile on my face hearing that this video was helpful for you! Im excited for you to try the pretzels! Let me know what you think ☺️🥨❤️
I loved this! More taste tests please!
Thanks Kayla! I'm so happy to hear that you like this style of video 😊😊
Those all look awesome, Nikki! I’ll have to try those out!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this video ☺️❤️
Those kiwi chips look so good for some reason! Makes we want to subscribe to thrive market now to try all these interesting new products 🙂 When I do I’ll be sure to use your link, just wanting to move first. Thank you for sharing!
Nice! I preferred the dehydrated pineapple both taste and texture wise but if you like sour, tart treats you’ll love the kiwi! They definitely get more addicting as you snack on them lol And I hope you enjoy thrive! It took me a second to adjust to online shopping but the categories and setting the vegan filter made it really easy so now it’s my first go to. Let me know what you pick up if you try something new and fun! ❤️❤️
Those pretzels looked amazing, I need to find those!
I love them! The bag is already gone lol
Ooh I love taste tests!
Aw thank you! I’m so glad to hear that ❤️❤️
i love videos like this ☺️ ♡
Aw that’s so nice to know! Thank you! They’re really fun to film and edit too ☺️☺️ Glad you enjoyed
@NikkiVegan I enjoy those Fuego chips as a quick snack. The ranch flavor are trouble as well if you haven’t tried them. I really liked this snack video hope to see more of them. Hope your having a good week and take care till next time.
Ooo good to know! I love ranch flavored chips
The cauliflower dip looks like romesco sauce❤ kiwi skin eater here🙋🏾
Yes it tastes a lot like the cauliflower romesco that either Target or Trader Joe’s makes but I can’t remember which one…I think I like that version better though. This one has a finer, grittier texture so it’s not my favorite dip option. Definitely not bad though and probably great on potatoes. I’m trying that combo tonight 😋
Thanks for sharing!!! 🧡
My pleasure! I’m happy you liked this video!
So many yummy snacks. I need to try.
I’m excited to hear which ones you try and what you think! Let me know ☺️☺️
You have a true talent for accurately describing how foods taste. I recently tried Quinn Foods Cheezy Filled Pretzel Nuggets and may have mistakenly eaten the whole bag in one sitting (despite telling myself I should absolutely save some for the next day!). I loved Combos as a kid and these came pretty dang close! They have a Pizzeria version too!
Thank you so much for noticing and saying that! I really make an effort to explain flavors as accurately as I can so it means a lot that you said that ☺️ and yum! I loved combos too! That’s good to know. I’ll definitely check those out ❤️❤️
We always called shopping carts ... Buggies. 🤷🏻♀️ I joined Thrive thru your link last year. I may grab those pineapples.
Also, the original Mary’s crackers are great broken up into small pieces as a crouton for salad.
Yum! I love the idea of cracker croutons! I do that with tortilla chips but never thought to use crackers. Thanks for the suggestion ☺️☺️ and yes! I’ve heard buggies too! Grocery cart still sounds sound odd in my head lol
I call them buggies too and now I live in Jersey and everyone looks at me weird when I call it a buggie but I refuse to call it anything else 🤣
Am I the only one that adores grocery shopping? I’d only do Thrive if I lived somewhere where I don’t have access to the items they sell.
I LOVE grocery shopping 😊😊 I shop at a lot of different places but if I start on Thrive because they have a lot of what I need at a discounted price so I get a lot of my staple items and new snacks and things there. Then I shop for produce and fresh items at the grocery store or farmers market to fill in the gaps. For me it's less expensive and a great way to find new vegan items I might have overlooked in the store ❤️
I call it a shopping cart, but my husband calls it a buggy! He’s from the Pittsburgh area and that is what everyone calls it here. This was a great video, I haven’t tried any of these snacks before but am excited to have my family try some. ☮️💜💟
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked this video! Let me know which snacks you and your family end up trying ☺️☺️ and how funny! Are there other words you two say differently because of where you’re from?
Love your makeup and hair in this video! 😍
Aw thank you so much!
I like dried avocado. You can slice and dehydrate them in a microwave
Whoa cool! I've never tried that but I bet it would be delicious
Yummy 😋 vegan snacks and another awesome video from Nicole. Yes I eat the skin of a Kiwi 🥝 because that's where the majority of the nutrients are. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Nicole.
So true! I need to try it next time 🥝🥝🥝
Love how you describe foods and tastes Nikki and would love to try Thrive Market but I live in Spain so unfortunately they don’t ship here not even Canada which is right next door. Keep the videos coming and hope you do some oil free recipe videos
Aw thanks Angie! I'm so glad you like my videos and hopefully Thrive will be available in Spain one day soon 😊😊 For my recipes that contain oil you can often leave it out or sauté with water or broth instead and I'm happy to make more suggestions if you have any questions about specific recipes to make them oil free! Just let me know ❤️
@@NikkiVegan Thank you Nikki for answering and if I have any questions about any recipe I will ask you. Lots of love
Yes kiwi skin and strawberry tops. 💯
I love that! No waste! I blend the strawberry tops in my smoothies because I figure it’s extra greens and fiber, right?
@@NikkiVegan i just eat the whole strawberry and kiwi. Quick rinse and done. ❤️
LOve your videos Nikki. Where did you find most of these snacks? Now I'm hungry
Thanks Beth! Everything is from Thrive Market ❤️you can find a lot of these snacks in other grocery stores but I find it cheaper and easier to grab them on Thrive
I neeeeeed those mustard pretzels!
Me too! I ate the whole bag and now I need more 😩 lol
i love to put those balsamic mung beans on top of salads, but i'm going to have to try them on avocado toast, that's a great idea!
I bet they’re great on salads! I’ll try that today!
@@NikkiVegan I put them on some avo toast this morning and it was delicious!
I recommend the bada bean bada boom (sea salt) which are big and crunchy fava/broad beans that are very snackable. Since you mentioned not having lupini beans before, I think you should try the almond butter lupii bars. They’re my favorite bar!
Thank you! These are great suggestions. I didn't know the make bars but that sounds great. And I'll definitely check out bada bean boom! Thank you! 😊😊
I'm sooo glad I watched this while having lunch - otherwise I would have drooled on my desk :D
Totally random but since there is no "bitchin sauce" available where I live I'd looooove to have a Nikki-recipe for that...
I always have a snack when watching youtube videos so I can relate! lol And great idea! I'd love to try to recreate Bitcoin sauce one day! Thanks for the suggestion 😊
Have them with vegan spinach artichoke dip!💯
Omg that’s genius! Yes! Or like crumbled on top as a crunchy topping 😋😋 Yum!
@@NikkiVegan that would be so good! They might be a bit too delicate for such a thick dip like spinach and artichoke but you could definitely sprinkle on top and serve with some nice crusty bread!🥖
Always eat the skin👍
I’m definitely going to try it!
I’ve tried all three flavors of the Hu crackers and I find there isn’t much difference between them. It’s very subtle.
Good to know!
💚
❤️❤️
Great video 😊
Thank you Sara! I’m so happy you liked it
That Lemon Dill Hummus is my favorite!
Me too! How do they make it taste so fresh??! lol
@@NikkiVegan Yes, so fresh! ❤️
Love snacks. THe mustard pretzels look yummy. I tried Marys crackers, not a fan.. Luv your channel..
Thanks Julie ☺️☺️ what are some of your favorite crackers?
@@NikkiVegan I luv the crackers by Simple Mills, yummy. cheese crackers and rosemary flavored
Growing up my family always said buggie...I bounce back in forth between cart and buggie now though.
Thanks for the great video ❤
Buggy? Now I'm questioning how we would've spelt it lol
Haha I do that all the time!
Thanks Jessica, I’m so glad you liked it! ☺️☺️
Cart! But I’ve been in Australia for so long I now call them trolley 😂
Trolley is cute! I like that
Hi Nikki, have you heard of the snacks BELLIWELLI or MEZCLA bars? Would love to see you review them?
I haven’t it!! I’ll check both out, thank j you so much for the idea Judy ❤️❤️
I work in a grocery store and can confirm that time stops while in one 😆
haha right??
3:30 I bet these would be really good dipped in vanilla yogurt, maybe like Silk soy or almond yogurt (a yogurt that isn’t too tangy so it compliments the tartness of the kiwi)
Yummm! That’s such a good idea! I never thought about dipping them…that sounds great!
This is interesting but nothing beats good ol' potato chips in my opinion!
Honestly same. Potato chips are the best! I like the plain, old fashioned salted kind. You?
@@NikkiVegan chili lime is my favorite! I was at Aldi this afternoon and I found they have this chili lime seasoning with no salt , I think I might just go back tomorrow and get it
Those fuego tortilla chips I have tried and really disliked their texture. Kind of like you, I try to think of other ways to use things that would make them more enjoyable to me. I thought maybe baking them as nachos or coating fo-chicken to make a crunchy coating. But idk. I was so so about those! Can’t wait to try the mustard pretzels though!
Yeah the texture is a bit different than corn tortillas! Great idea to use them as breading! I've done that with the Hella Hot Puffs for my BBQ Mac and Cheese recipe but I haven't it tried it with these chips. Sounds delicious! 😊😊 Let me know what you think of the pretzels!
Loved this video❤ Who doesn't like snacks and you try them before we buy that's Great👍 Btw I agree totally about the Mary's gone crackers original are to seedy and hard, I will try the thin ones!
Thanks Suzanne! I’m so glad you liked this video ☺️☺️ Let me know what you think of the crackers!
I don't eat the kiwi skin, because the texture is too fibrous. Kiwi is also low FODMAP, which is great for me!
Those Pretzels look awesome!
Oh I didn’t know that! Good to know 🥝🥝🥝 and omg I love these pretzels so much lol I’m a big mustard fan so these were perfect for me 🥨☺️ Excited to hear what you think of you give them a try!
Can you send me the Link to order these snacks please
Hi i would like to try these snacks i am vegan but i live in the uk
Yes, I love eating kiwi skin. Just wash, slice and chow!
Honestly seems so much easier! Kiwis have always been hard to peel for me lol
We call them trolleys in the UK:)
I love that! I feel like that sounds much friendlier than “cart” lol
I love the skin of kiwi! When I cut kiwi up for my kids I always eat it because they don’t want it. 😂
Oooo good to know! It sounds like a lot of people like it. I’ll try it next chance I get!
It seems scary to me being it is hairy doesn't it bother your throat? lol
The Hu crackers aren’t nearly as good as their OG product- chocolate bars! The raspberry cashew butter is amazing and the vanilla crunch is basically a “more wholesome” Crunch bar. If you haven’t had, def try!
Oooo good to know! I have tried the raspberry but not the vanilla crunch! It’s going on my list, thank you ☺️☺️
i tried a different flavor of the mustard pretzels (white cheddar) and to be honest, i wouldn't recommend unless you are gluten free. they are very hard and crunchy and kind of sticky from the flavor powder. i eat a lot of pretzels and i just cant get over how hard/crunchy they were
Ooo good to know! I didn’t find them to be too hard or sticky but I’ve only tried this flavor so I’ll keep this in mind! Thanks for the feedback ☺️☺️ what are your favorite pretzels?
I eat the skin of the kiwi! Kind of like eating an apple.
Ahhh good to know 🤔 I want to try it now!
Lol I'm mildly allergic to kiwi (and a few other seemingly random things) so no, I never eat the skin. 🙂
Cart or trolley.
That make sense! 💚💚
I’m from the south and say buggy. :)
I like buggy!
Hello
Texans call the cart a "buggy".
We always said “shopping cart” or simply “cart” lol
Yeah I’ve heard that a lot too!
“Litertally”? Lol!
haha one of my favorite words! That and "cozy"
I eat kiwi 🥝 skin!
I’ll try it next time! 🥝☺️😋
I say buggie I am in the South lol
I'm from Florida and a lot of people say buggy there too! Even more odd that we said wagon because...like where did my family get that word from?? lol so cute
also, did you move?
Nope just here visiting for a few weeks ☺️❤️
I eat the skin of a Kiwi!
100% going to try it next time
@@NikkiVegan It's really good.
eating supermarket junk.
Delicious and fun snacks! I think it’s all about moderation ❤️❤️
@@NikkiVegan Yes, keep putting garbage in your body in moderation.
I think some of these unusual snacks could be acquired tastes and you might like them the more you eat them
Yep, I think so too!
