oh bitterness hater here! I recommend nescafe 'crema' it only has a hint of bitterness (i am a big baby when it comes to bitternes and i promise it's not bad) i do sense the creamyness and it doesn't really have any of that sour (so called *'fruity') taste. Not sure if you are an instant coffe person though, and so far nescaff has been too lazy to make a decaff version :C (still my all-time favorite coffe though it has the a nice coffe taste without that really astrigent overwhelming bitter aftertaste - i still need creamy oat milk and sweetner though because as i said i am a big baby with bitter things....)
*I know fruit it's yummy! coffe, chocolate etc with notes of fruit never actually has a fruity taste more like: what if we ruined fruit by turning it into vinegar and then added a bit of that to the final product, that way we can get the sour without the freshness and fun....
@MdoubleHB.x it's so embarrassing how obsessed you are with Swayze. I wonder who hurt you.
@MdoubleHB.xyo my favorite guy to report is back! How’s life been treating you fam? Is that a new account I see? Lookin good!
Ritters has a chocolate Marzipan bar that's vegan too!! Its my favorite even before I was vegan, I was shocked to see its vegan
That's my favourite too!! I thought about it straight away when I saw this! I can't find it in very many places in the UK anymore though 😢
Doesn’t it contain milk butter? I used to have the, before I noticed that
@@TheBonnylineNo. cocoa butter
@@TheBonnylineas far as I know it has always been vegan (or at least for ages)
Those cadbury bars always get me too! I always do a double take to look around thinking there’s gotta be non dairy if there’s dairy, right? Nope…
Dairy milk is actually the name of the chocolate like snickers or galaxy. Cadbury have loads of other chocolates and they're all called 'Cadburys (something)'. I never thought about it before but I guess it's a bit weird if you didn't grow up with it being so iconic in your culture.
This is my favourite series of you! I don't even live in the USA but I love seeing food lmao
Same here! None of that is available where I live but I like to imagine what it's like.
Edit: Rittersport we do have! But not vegan so far. (I live in meat-land).
@@thatsalt1560 I live in Germany and there are already like six vegan kinds of Ritter Sport available. No Oatly ice cream bars though. Well, not yet(?). 🥲
I forgot that some of the "regular" Ritter Sport chocolates are accidentally vegan, the Marzipan one, e.g. :)
Same! I'm in Australia and we have SO far to go in terms of vegan substitute products but I love indulging in videos from overseas creators presenting what they can purchase in their country.
Three of these I have suggestions for - Coffee - We have bought the Counter Culture for a lot less than $23 at Target. We've gotten it on sale for like $12-13. Also, Target's Good & Gather brand has some light roast coffees you could try. They're $6.99, or $5.99 on sale. Sprinkles - The Supernatural sprinkles I tried didn't taste like lemon, but my main complaint was they went stale almost overnight. Preppy Kitchen has a video on how to make homemade sprinkles! 3) The Pacific chili - We like the Fire Roasted Vegetable one the most, even slightly more than Harvest Black Bean.
Ritter Sport dark chocolate marzipan is vegan by default. It's the yummiest!
Ritter sport has a lot of vegan flavours! Try marzipan and peppermint. Both are vegan and very good!
I love this series💕 I tried Ritter Sport salted caramel in Berlin and it was amazing😭💕💕 I wish we had it in Poland🙏
We just had a grocery outlet open 20 minutes from me. I couldn’t be more excited!!!! I’ve always been so jealous of when you talked about it!!
Holy moly just tried the meati regular chicken cutlets I am EXTREMELY impressed!! I think the texture is great and no weird flavor at all I am so excited
The Oatly chocolate fudge icecream is so delicious!! I don't know what they do to make it have that kind of dense but fluffy texture but it's good!
i ALWAYS look forward to your food reviews : )
Thanks. I am transitioning to the vegan lifestyle in order to reduce animal and planetary harm. This information is helpful as I navigate new products. Btw got myself a multivitamin and fortified soy milk.
The 'hologram' flavor of Counter Culture is great too and pretty light even though I think they classify it as medium roast.
Costco was sampling a dark roast and it was so smooth I was shocked. I usually get the light roast at Starbucks and typically hate dark roasts. You could try the Kirkland brand if you’re still looking.
I love these videos!
The vegan Ritter Sport salted peanuts is one of my favourite chocolates (I live quite close to the factory 😅 in Germany).
So addictive sadly. Once I open it, I can't help myself but eat the whole bar.
From ALDI a thinner dark chocolate (brand: Moser) with almond and cranberry (really good chewy texture through the cranberries) and
from Vivani the Dark Nougat Chocolate are my other favourites (it literally melts on your tongue - I don't chew it at all - with strawberries I use it as filling for vegan German pancakes).
I can control myself around the one from ALDI the best. It's very delicious but not addictive.
Yayy a German brand (I watch your videos about grocery stuff even though I don’t live in the us :) if you have the Lindt vegan milk chocolate you should try it!! Super creamy and really good and versatile flavours (salted caramel, popcorn, cookies and so on) ❤love your videos and message
I buy whole coffee beans from homegoods/marshalls/tj maxx. They're cheap but always good quality and makes for sweet coffee. the important thing is never to buy preground coffee if you are sensitive to the bitterness
I think you should treat yourself to the coffee. If you aren't going to a coffee shop and paying 3-5 dollars for a cup of coffee, then you are still being frugal, even with very expensive coffee. You get anywhere from 17 to 21 cups from the bag. On the meati things - I bought them early on, when they had "drops" of batches. I wanted to love them, but it was too much like chewing a wad of paper -- no fat, no give. The protein source there is promising, but I think they need to blend it with a few other things - including some added fat.
Loved the video.
Lol i just listened to kiva-eternity one before this. Thanks for sharing
You're in Portland right? Proud Mary in the Alberta Arts district has great coffee. I would also recommend Olympia Coffee from your neighbor up north. 12 oz specialty coffee bags typically go for between $18 and $25 so $23 from CC isn't that surprising, but I never liked CC very much even when I worked at a coffee shop that used it. I think Trade coffee might have some cheaper options for nice light roasts if you're interested in a subscription for coffee.
Counter Culture coffee is amazing. Good company, too! Sprouts carry 12oz for $14.99 or 24oz $27.99 in Northern CA.
Whole Foods has the Counter Culture coffee. I got the large bag (24 oz) for like $19 with my prime membership discount.
Try the Better Brand bread! I'm curious your opinion. They're high in protein, low carb, and vegan. Little weird taste/texture, but worth it for the protein! 26g of protein for 160 calories in their bagel! :)
Have you tried Vego hazelnut chocolate bars? They are so delicious!
Green Mountain Breakfast Blend is an affordable light roast.
I've been using a coffee brand called Chock Full of Nuts. It's so cheap and it's actually good! Definitely worth a shot because it's Maxwell House price for good quality coffee. I also started putting less coffee in. My parents had me doing 1 heaping spoonful per cup of water and now I do 75% of that (so like 9 heaping spoons for 12 cups - I hope the coffee math translates haha). It's less bitter with less coffee!
Did you ever see Dr. Bronner's Magic Soapbox (2006)? The mid-00s was such a wild beginning of the final breath of the wacky 20th Century alt-health stuff (as you already know, coming from raw veganism ahaha). I watched that documentary when I was, like, 14, and it was so great to me then, so freaking weird and even had some footage of Dr. Bronner himself. I don't even think about it consciously anymore, but my wife has pointed out that I make up fake quotes impersonating his voice in a character like him all the time.
Love your channel. Just thought I'd ask you if you test your Turmeric for lead? I was today years old when I heard that the spice I try to use often could be contaminated with lead. My bottle of Turmuric is Organic but I still worry. There is a warning label on it (of course I didn't read it) so there's that. Could you address this concern like perhaps to help settle concerns if it's possible. I am considering giving it up all together. (sigh)
"Violife" *rules.* ❤❤❤
And the Mushroom-based meat sounds absolutely *genius.* I've just _got_ to try it in the future. Think it's available anywhere in Europe?
We have Quorn in the UK - it's made out of myco-protein from mushrooms but the vegan range is much smaller than the vegetarian range. It's really nice though!
I've tried the Meati mushroom-meat and hated it. Very weird texture, kind of like wet paper towels and on it's own tastes a bit like tinned tuna fish. YMMV. I don't think it's available outside the US right now, they're a pretty new product (based on when I started seeing it in store).
@@pearl2657 Ah. Okay. So I don't miss much...
We add a pinch of baking soda to our coffee to reduce the acid.
I really like Prophecy coconut mylk chocolate. Best vegan milk chocolate out there!
Brew less coffee and more water in the coffee pot, which will cut down on the bitter flavor
The peanut vegan ritter sports is sooooo good. Better than the plain imho
You should try fazer's oat "milk" chocolate 🍫
( Edit: Ritter Sport can be found at Aldi)
Have you tried cold brewing coffee? I haven't but I have been getting grossed out by coffee tasting bitter and coffee nerds are suggesting cold brewing.
What do you use to brew your coffee?
Chobani chocolate oatmilk hands down. That stuff is literally liquid crack
Please flash nutrition label for foods - trying to avoid saturated fat
I’m always jealous of the stuff you can find. ❤
Ritter Sport Marzipan is very good. It's the only chocolate I buy.
I just want to say, the vegan Rittersport CRUNCHY WHOLE HAZELNUTS is the best chocolate ever, I am obssesed
Have you tried Vego hazelnut chocolate bars?
@@sorting_it_out yessss! they're sooo good
Maxwell House Blend Light Roast Ground Coffee
I am so surprised you liked the Meati. My family tried it and hated it. I couldn’t even get past the smell to even try it…. You should some of the new 365 whole food brand chickens. They have been coming out with a bunch lately and are pretty affordable
You had me at chocolate milk
Nomo is really good
I tried the dr bronner chocolate and I did not like it 😢 maybe I need to try a different flavor lol
Classic Folgers Instant Coffee is not bitter. I don’t recall the price. Can’t be too much. Instant coffee is fine despite what coffee snobs say.
I don't know if you've ever tried Loma Linda products. My family loves the Big Franks, but they are definitely NOT everyone's cup of tea. We received a shipment of hamburger by accident, and I swear to the good Lord, when I opened the can, it looked and smelled exactly like dog food. I couldn't bring myself to even try it. Luckily, we got our money back. I would be interested in your opinion because it seems well liked from the Amazon reviews.
I've only seen the Loma Linda fish substitutes here in the UK and I didn't like that very much.
Does anybody have a suggestion for a milk that works well in black tea?
I have no problem replacing dairy with vegan milks except i just don't find tea with the vegan milks i have tried tastes right :/
Have you tried the barista varieties of soy or oat milks?
Hey there are many different vegan milks. Almond milk add a little pure vanilla extract i use califa farms organic just 3 simple ingredients. Hey I am a new vegan channel with tons of amazing recipes as well as some health tips. Please check my channel out
That was my sticking point. Never thought I could switch from dairy in tea. Barista oat milks are what I've settled on. I have no brand loyalty, but normally one brand is on offer, so I rotate between Califia Farms, Oatly and Minor Figures.
Good news i think i found one i like :)
I like that it doesn't have that stupid string you have to pull off. It just has a flip-off cap that pulls the plastic string/thing of automatically (also this means i don't have to carry around a cap while pouring which is annoying because sometimes i put them down while pouring and i lose them). I have only seen them in one place though which is annoying because i run out of milk often :/ (anyway i have tried other barista milks which i found to be creamy but rather 'gritty' in texture - this one is not 'gritty/powdery' and it is also a bit milder in taste but it might just be because the texture is smoother that i feel like it tastes milder.)
Maybe i should just try it one more time to be sure and if i also like the next one i can bulk buy a couple since plant-milk i shelf-staple (that's a BIG win for vegan milks in my book. Some need to be refrigerated but most i have seen don't)
Vegan for ever! 🌸The best thing that happened in my life! 🎄Thank you Vegans thank you World of the 21st Century. 🌈Thank you World Wide Web!💻🗽
big yum
I feel like all vegan chocolates really miss the TANGINESS like I remember almost feeling the acidity of a piece of real chocolate when I'd melt it on my tongue. Almost like eating a pineapple. Am I crazy?? I feel like companies just make vegan chocolate sweet and creamy but with a very flat flavour.
I am completely fine with dark chocolate not having dairy in it, but if it is milk chocolate, it has to have dairy in order for it to taste good enough to be worthy of buying.
love you mam.
The non-dairy Ice-Creams all look *YUMMY!!* And - I didn't know "Oatly" is into this, too... must try them some time in the future.🙂😍
Do You add _salt_ to *Coffee???*
Are You pregnant again, Swayz'? 😉
And 23 $ *is* insane.
I haven't seen your channel in a while. Your channel actually led me to stop being vegan, and I turned my health around quite a bit. I learned about sugars, etc. And how it can affect your gut. I was wondering if you look into those things?
Btw current diet: 3 eggs + avacado in the morning, roasted slightly salted almonds with a tiny bit of butter throughout the day, turkey or chicken + veggies for lunch and dinner (no dairy)
My hairloss has been reversed, brainfog is almost completely gone, my years of gut candida overgrowth is now being removed.... it was a huge journey over the span of 2-3 years...
