I've got to admit that this
month’s box is up among one of my favourites. This box celebrates the 2nd
anniversary of The Vegan Kind and was filled with yummy food that needs hardly
any preparation. Good in the fact you can eat most of it straight away but bad
for my weak self-control.
Let’s
start with this massive hunk of chocolate that tastes great but sort of breaks
your jaw at the same time. This chocolate needed a hammer to break it. Aside
from it nearly breaking my jaw it had a lovely honeycomb flavour in the actual
chocolate as well as it being topped with mini pieces so not like other
honeycomb chocolate I’ve had before. Moving on to the actual chocolate, I find
most vegan chocolate taste like really cheap plastically chocolate which leaves
a film in your mouth and doesn't melt like chocolate should. Anyway this
chocolate isn't that, it melts and tastes good so thumbs up from me.
You
know what the best thing about this box? It’s not just got one chocolate bar
but two! Ok that sounds like a cheesy advert but this chocolate is amazing.
It's made with rice milk so it is creamy/melty and has bits of 'Oreo' type
biscuits running through...*dribbles Homer Simpson style*. This chocolate has
already been inhaled but I’m going to look at where I can get more.
It’s
quite weird that a lip balm came in the box as I had been scouring the
interwebs for a new one. I was using up my old none cruelty free ones but they
were just not cutting it and left my lips the same as before. I smothered this
on my lips when I first opened the box and they've been so soft and 'pillowy'
since. Have I mentioned before that this might be my favourite box?!
I've
been wanting to buy some sort of badges or wristbands that has a subtle vegan
message or awareness for some of my chronic illnesses but I've got to admit
that I haven't actually looked but I had the idea in my head. It's sort of
perfect that this turned up on my doorstep and I haven't stopped wearing it
(mainly because I forgot I had it on, opps). I've got small wrists so even
though it is quite big on me is doesn't slip off so it’s all good.
On
to the elusive cheese and onion crisps, I’ve heard that this flavour is very
sort after so it’s very hard to get your hands on and somehow they were able to
get them. This is a big bag, the sort you're meant to share, ha I’m not sharing
these... I had to take them away from my mum as she wanted more. I wasn't a fan
of cheese and onion crisps pre vegan but it’s that whole 'you can't have them
but when it's veganised they're the best thing in the world' type thing.
Lastly there are three
microwave quinoa pouches, this is the only thing I haven't tried yet as it the
one thing you can't just open and eat (apart from the lip balm of course). Well
you can open and eat but you need a fork... These doing look super tasty from
the little see through heart and I’m going to have one tomorrow for my lunch or
as a side to a bigger meal. Hopefully I’ll remember to give an update on how I
find them tomorrow.
Looking
over the review of treats I got this month has made me realise that this is my
favourite box that I've ever got, so in my opinion it definitely celebrates the
2nd anniversary of The Vegan Kind. Hopefully the boxes to come will as good but
I appreciate that sometimes things I like are different to what other people
might like so it gets me to try things that I wouldn't usually pick up and try.
