This month I bring to you four fantastic finds, from brands I love and brands that I was recently introduced to. All the four products are great for vegans/vegetarians. Take a look.

MyVegan - Gooey Filled Cookie and Carb Crusher

MyVegan recently launched two new products - Vegan Gooey Filled Cookie and Vegan Carb Crusher - and both are absolutely delicious.

The Carb Crusher is a triple-layered bar that’s low in sugar and comes in four flavours - Peanut Butter, Chocolate Orange, Chocolate Sea Salt and Banoffee. We tried the Banoffee flavour and it was fab. Made with a plant-based protein blend and crispy soy protein nuggets, these bars are a great way to enjoy a guilt-free sweet snack. With 9g of dietary fibre, 15g of protein per bar and a lovely flavour, this makes for an indulgent treat minus the guilt.

Great taste and texture for a protein bar.

Priced at £21.99 (12x60g), the Carb Crusher can be purchased here.

The Vegan Gooey Filled Cookie was fantastic as well. Low in sugar and high in protein (13g per cookie), these cookies are made with a rich chocolatey dough and have a gooey centre.

Tip: Warm the cookie slightly in a microwave for a lovely, warm centred cookie. Goes well with a scoop of ice-cream too :)

Like the Carb Crusher, the cookies also have a great taste and texture and make for a healthy, vegan treat.

Priced at £24.99 (12x75g), the Gooey Filled Cookie can be purchased here.

OGGS Marvellous Mini Cupcakes

These bite sized, mini cupcakes are perfect for picnics. Entirely egg and dairy-free, these vegan-friendly treats are made using Aquafaba - a liquid egg alternative made from chickpea water. They look enticing, taste great and come in picnic-proof packaging that is sustainably sourced with 100% recycled plastic which is fully recyclable.

Priced at £4.25 for a 9 pack, you can pick these yummy cakes up from Sainsbury's.

Mixed Gnawbles Taster Pack from Creative Nature

Creative Nature sell a wide range of healthy snack bars and other products like baking mixes and superfood powders. They source their ingredients from countries around the world with a strong emphasis on quality.

Featured in this month's roundup is their Mixed Gnawbles Taster Pack. These crunchy sweet treats can be considered a vegan version of Malteasers! Perfect for snacking, Gnawbles come in four flavours:
- Brilliant Orange Cacao Crispy Protein Gnawbles
- Super Salted Caramel Crispy Protein Gnawbles
- Creamy Mylk Chocolate Light & Crunchy Gnawbles
- Cheeky Choc HazelNOT Light & Crunchy Gnawbles

All the four variants are gluten/dairy/wheat/nut free and are suitable for vegans. The sweet treats taste fantastic and the taster pack is a great way to try out all the four flavours. Individual flavours can be purchased in packs of 15 or 18.

Squeaky Bean's plant-based ready-to-eat food

Squeaky Bean are a vegan brand and their plant-based product range includes satay Kiev, fishless fingers, nuggets and chicken-style pieces.

We tried out the chicken-style pieces from Squeaky Bean and what a revelation these products were. Mr.H was amazed by the texture of the pieces. One of the best vegan version of chicken-style pieces. The flavours were equally great with the Kick of Tikka being my favourite.

What I liked the most about these were how versatile the ready-to-eat pieces are. I used the Thai flavour pieces in fried rice and it was great. The Kick of Tikka replaced paneer in Paneer Tikka Masala and it was fantastic. The Sweet Smokey BBQ pieces were enjoyed as a snack on their own. Loved all three.

We also tried their 'Potato and Onion Tortilla' which is made of chunks of potato and onion in a fluffy, golden chickpea base. It was fab. Great for picnics or as a part of tapas-style dinner!

Well-seasoned, with great taste & texture, all of these products are excellent for those on a plant-based diet or even for those looking to reduce their consumption of meat products.

You can pick up Squeaky Bean’s range from Tesco, Co-op, Asda, Ocado, Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.
