Frozen Treats

Ok, so I did NOT discover this AFTER I became vegan, but my favorite vegan frozen treats are Edy's Lime Fruit Bars.



Other Fruit Bar products that are vegan also include Grape, Lemonade, Strawberry, and Tangerine, Variety Pack (Grape, Cherry & Tropical) and Variety Pack (Lime, Strawberry & Wildberry). There are other Fruit Bar flavors, but they contain milk.

The flavors are amazing, pretty close to the actual fruit. The best part of the Strawberry are the chunks of fruit in the bar. YUM!

So, if you've tried them, please share your own review. What's your favorite flavor, or least favorite?

My favorite snack!

I'm always in search of yummy dips and appetizers. I recently ran across the blog, Fatfree Vegan Kitchen written by SusanV. For Halloween she posted the recipe for Spooky Black Bean Hummus. My own tweaks to the recipe was to not use the optional soy yogurt and I did not decorate the dip with soy yogurt or extra tahini. But dispite that difference, it became my favorite snack of all time!!!

It has been a challenge to find vegan safe pita for dipping (there tends to be honey in pita, so if I find a great vegan pita, I will definately review it), but really any vegan breads or chips work great! And for the omnivores, pitas or pita chips are a perfect pairing.

My favorite part about this hummus is the mexican twist. The lime, chipotle & black beans give it that perfect kick. Some other suggestions is using it as a spread on a sandwich or wrap.

Click here for the recipe. (If you haven't clicked above, hehe).

Remember, if you've tried this dip or you decide to try it, please leave a review in the comments.
