NEW FAVOURITE VEGAN SNACK ALERT WITH 10G OF PROTEIN?

-
A few weeks ago, I received a lovely parcel in the post consisting of Eat Vive’s brand new flavours of their vegan friendly snack bars, with, and you heard me, 10g of protein in them! EACH!! Being a third year English student who spends the majority of their life studying in the library, I am always looking for new snacks to bring along with me to keep me going. I knew I had to give these a whirl immediately.

All the bars have a dark chocolate coating on them with a variety of different fillings to suit you. The three new flavours are…

Peanut Butter

 This is the first bar I tried, seeing as peanut butter is one of my favourite snack ingredients. And I can confidently say that this bar did NOT disappoint. I did try this one as soon as I opened my parcel, (I am impatient), even though I was not necessarily hungry at the time, so I wasn’t sure if these were the answer to my library stomach grumbles quite yet. But still, a GREAT snack to pop in your bag if you are on the go. 


Hazelnut

 The next bar I tried was the hazelnut flavour. I am not a huge fan of nuts (no pun intended), so I did not have very high hopes for this one. I did pack this with me and ate it when I started to get hungry in the library, and WOW, I was impressed. I didn’t used to be a huge fan of nuts, but I can confidently say I am now! I would of course never replace this for a meal at lunch time, but this certainly kept me going for a few hours. 



Salted Caramel

 This was the final bar I tried, and probably my least favourite flavour, but only because I have the other two flavours to compare it to. I would happily eat the Salted Caramel bar ten times over. 




Eat Vive sent me eleven bars in total, and I am ashamed to admit within five days I had demolished them. Finally, I have found a new library snack favourite! 

People always ask me where I get my protein from, and I can now confidently tell them from my Eat Vive snack bars!

Have you tried these yet?

Until next time,

EATING VEGAN AT... BOOMTOWN FAIR

Before I get into this post, I would just like to warn you that this is not going to be the most detailed post on what to eat at Boomtown you have ever read in your life. The reason for this is I genuinely cannot remember half of my week, and I do not think I need to explain why. Anyway, I hope this gives you some insight as to how I coped with eating vegan at a festival. Enjoy. This was my second festival I had been to as a vegan, (I went to Creamfields last year), however, Boomtown is twice the size of Creamfields and I had already heard that the options for vegans were endless. So, I was very excited to see what Boomtown had to offer. It helped that I was going to Boomtown with my two friends who were vegan and vegetarian.  The Preparations  The first thing I did was go shopping for snacks to eat during the day. I had decided I was going to eat one hot meal a day and then snack on food I had bought with me if I ever got hungry, (which would be very likely considering at

REVIEW: MEATLESS FARM CO. MEAT FREE MINCE

A couple of weeks ago Meatless Farm company reached out to me on Instagram and asked if I would like to try their new plant-based mince. Plant-based? Mince? Of course, I said yes.  Instagram: @_sunfl0werseed Within a couple of days, I received a voucher for Sainsbury’s and off I went to my local store to pick it up. I found it lying among Sainsbury’s vegan range, (which may I add is AMAZING). I never shop in Sainsbury’s purely because I am a poor student and would rather get my deals in Aldi, but wow, I was impressed!  When I spotted the mince, I was a little nervous. It looks like THIS. Instagram: emeatsvegan A couple of months ago there was a huge hype about a new plant-based mince from Naturli, which could be found amongst  real  mincemeat. I actually never got around to trying Naturli’s mince because I was extremely put off by how real it looked.  Naturli's meat free mince Instagram: @naturli I am embarrassed to say that I used to absolutely l

Eating Vegan In... Amsterdam

Last summer I had to say goodbye to my two best friends who would be moving away to the Netherlands for a year to study abroad. One was going to Amsterdam and the other one was off the Rotterdam. It was bitter sweet, as the silver lining was that I would get to go and visit them both, and with free accommodation, (thanks guys).   It had been four months since we had last saw each other. We had all been so busy with moving and other personal things going on in our lives. With being in final year, my dissertation deadlines were looming, and I knew if I didn’t go and visit them now, then I wouldn’t be able to see them until Christmas. And that was simply NOT an option.  So, with a week to go, I booked my flights to Amsterdam for 13 th – 16 th  October and I was finally going to be reunited with my best friends in a city that I had never visited before.  Day One It was 11am on 13 th  October and I was on a train from Leeds to Manchester Airport in order to make my 2.50 fligh
