Co-op custard or jam doughnuts.

I used to get very tense/stressed before giving lectures or presentations and the best thing for me was a combination of: Drinking water Eating bananas Eating slow energy release foods such as porridge oats Avoiding all caffeine Avoiding processed sugary foods Avoiding chocolate Avoiding salt...

I really like that site. :)

Hi Damo, I've been to Spain a lot, my son is studying it at university also. They do lots of fresh salads and seasonal fruit/veg in most places, so you should be fine. Also simple pastas, rices and beans are usually separate in buffets at hotels. What I've found in most restaurants (especially...

I only get my hair cut twice a year as it's very long so doesn't need styling as such. I think in future I would phone and ask beforehand- and see if they are happy to use my own products. Saves them using their own stock I guess. :)

Just a thought- when going into spa's or hairdressing salons, would you only consider venues that provided vegan products? I guess one option would be to take your own vegan shampoos/conditioners for staff to use, if they were happy to do this. I always take my own body washes into spa's, but I...

I've never seen those Smooze freeze-at-home bars- and they are in sainsburys too?? I'll be heading down that aisle tomorrow! :kissing_heart:

I love using Chia seeds in cooking, which have a multitude of benefits (see link). They are a rich source of Omega-3 fats, protein, vitamins and minerals. http://draxe.com/chia-seeds-benefits-side-effects/ I have ground seeds which I use in breads and as an egg substitute in baking. They can...

My weight has stayed the same but my fat % has reduced slightly which is a good thing. My diet is pretty similar as I made meals from scratch and used plenty of pulses/veg. I do exercise daily, it's part of my routine to get up early and do it. Keeps me mentally positive and focused too.

Interesting discussion here. It is something that has been on my mind since turning vegan. I spend hours looking at labels in the supermarket for the slightest hint of dairy... yet buy packs of fish/meat chunks for the cats. I have two rescue cats that were weaned onto meat pouches at the...

I tried the vegan quorn pieces last night. Loved them! They are very similar to their original vegetarian pieces. Wonder why it took them so long to start making them without the egg white. :neutral: I stocked up on about eight bags, they will be perfect for my curries, stir fries and...

Saw today that Sainsburys stock: 2 pack 'new recipe' Linda McCartney quarter pounders. Their sausage rolls, sausages and country pies are also vegan.

I am loving violife 'cheeses'. I'll definitely try the hard cheese winter. Do you grate it sparingly on pasta dishes? The violife pizza cheese is fantastic- Tastes like a mild cheddar and melts well. I slice it thinly in a toasted bagel and it melts to perfection. Just like a cheese bagel...

I don't make mine either- as there are so many tasty vegan ones to buy. I like Fry's chicken style burgers or regular burgers. Health food shops sell them, (H&B). I know with the vegan society card you can get 10% off. My daughter loves Tesco's 'value' range vegetable burgers. They are like a...

I am guilty of having a 'not so healthy' breakfast if I am in a hurry- such as a crumpet or a bagel with vegan butter. I think my all time favourite snack/brunch has to be good old beans on toast. I've started doing weekend brunches- toast, vegan sausages, vegan bacon, beans, hash browns...

Sounds a nice meal Bratvada. I definitely need to experiment with tofu a bit more. I always used Quorn when I was a vegetarian rather than tofu. I have recently bought the new Quorn 'vegan' pieces from Waitrose, so will be trying them in a casserole tonight. They look and smell the same as the...

Just made pancakes. Turned out really well! Not sure if pics can be uploaded from my iPhone?? Whisk up in one big bowl or jug: Half a pint of sweet almond milk 1 teaspoon melted vegan butter 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda 4 oz plain flour 1 teaspoon of egg replacer (mixed in 2 teaspoons of...

I'll buy some next time. It's fun trying all the varieties of milk- and finding the ones we prefer. I'm definitely not a huge fan of soya milk, my taste buds seem to 'pick out' the bitter edge. I used up the remaining soya milk on vegan yorkshire puddings- and they tasted lovely!

Thank you. I always scan each supermarket for different vegan milks. Occasionally they are kept separately in the 'free from' area. I'm going to try the OATLY chocolate drink next that Damo suggested.

I've got the original OATLY drink here (blue carton)- my son brought it back from uni and it's still in the fridge. Luckily the best before date is October 2016. I'll try that tonight on my cereal. It contains B12, D2, Riboflavin and calcium. Bonus!
