New Vegan Products For The Week Of March 4, 2018

All of the plant-based products listed below are either new to the market or soon to be released:

1. Nutcase Vegan Meats is a Michigan-based company that makes plant-based meat alternatives including vegan sausage, vegan burgers, and vegan chorizo.  All of their vegan meat replacement products are GMO-free, gluten-free, soy-free, corn-free, and 100 percent organic. 
2. While they’re certainly not the first to create a vegan burger, Don Lee Farms has introduced the first ever RAW, organic, and plant-based burger. This means that those following a raw vegan diet can enjoy these burgers by heating them up to only 165 degrees. The best news is that these plant-based burgers are now available at Costco stores across the U.S.
3. Ralph Lauren’s daughter, Dylan announced that she’ll be launching a vegan candy line in the United States called Treat Yourself. The “healthy” plant-based treats will be gluten-free, nut-free, and allergen-free.
4. The men’s skincare company, Bulldog Skincare for Men now offers an assortment of 100 percent plant-based and environmentally friendly products. The line includes hand cream, body lotion, moisturizers, and a face scrub. Bulldog uses sugarcane derived plastic which actually removes CO2 from the environment.
5. Canada-based Nuts For Cheese brand is 100 percent plant-based and uses cultures from sprouted quinoa and coconut milk to ferment their vegan cheese products. As of now, this ooey, gooey goodness is sold in 400 Canadian stores only. However, the company has been besieged by U.S. consumers as of late, and they are looking to bring Nuts For Cheese across the border as soon as possible.
6. Milk Make-up brand recently released two new glitter highlighters. The new colors are Trance – a peach base with gold glitter – and New Wave – a lavender base with rainbow glitter. Both colors are 100 percent cruelty-free and plant-based.
7. Cherryvale Farms recently released Instant Indulgence – a line of single-serving dessert mixes that you can make in the microwave. Flavors include birthday cake, rich chocolate brownie, and salted caramel chocolate and all three flavors are made with 100 percent plant-based ingredients.

They are 100 plant-based and are available in stores throughout the United States, on Amazon, and via several other retailers.
9. Optimum Nutrition company announced the launch of their first plant-based protein powder. The powder is part of their Gold Standard line of products and provides 24 grams of protein per serving, derived from rice, pea, and sacha inchi, as well as a blend of grains including amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, and chia.

February 19, 2018 New Plant-Based Product Round-Up

Everyone seemed to enjoy my last email of new, plant-based products so I decided to make it a regular thing.

Below, you’ll find the latest list of ten animal-free products that have either recently hit the market or are coming to market soon:

1. Yo Coco was founded by a 24 year-old entrepreneur in South Africa and offers a dairy-free and completely vegan ice cream line.
2. Plant-based camembert cheese is now sold by Les Petits Veganne. As of now this creamy delight is only sold in France. Let’s hope that it makes its way to the United States soon.
3. Snow Monkey has released new flavor options for their non-dairy frozen treats. New flavors include matcha green tea, passion fruit, and cinnamon.
4. If you’re looking for artisan-level vegan cheese in the United States, look no further than RIND. True to its name, RIND offers hard-rind, aged cheese varieties that are 100 percent plant-based.
5. A young entrepreneur and her mom created a line of plant-based cheese-style dips after she was diagnosed with celiace disease and dairy allergies. The Honest Stand products contain only whole food ingredients and are available at Whole Foods Market, Lucky’s Market, and other select grocery store chains in the U.S.
6. The Lip Bar is a 100 percent plant-based and cruelty-free (not always the same thing, believe it or not) lipstick line for women of color. This brand launched exclusively at Target stores on February 18, 2018.
7. Also at Target are the new Haagen Dazs non-dairy ice cream flavors which include chocolate salted fudge truffle, peanut butter chocolate fudge, mocha chocolate cookie, and coconut caramel. Although the packages do not contain the word “vegan” they have been verified as free of all animal ingredients.
8. Mighty Bee vegan jerky is one of the most unique plant-based products to hit the market. This organic, and preservative free jerky is made from dehydrated coconuts and comes in three flavors – teriyaki, spicy BBQ, and Chocolate-Hazelnut. The ingredient list is impressive, boasting all whole foods, super foods, and natural spices.
9. The Coconut Collaborative has brought their best-selling brand of coconut-based yogurt to the United States. Flavors include blueberry, mango, passionfruit, and unflavored/coconut flavor and are naturally sweetened with fruit-juice only.
10. Another company has launched a plant-based egg replacement product in Europe made with non-GMO ingredients. REGG-EX is the cholesterol-free product said to work wonders in cakes and muffins. However, those with gluten-sensitivity or suffering from celiac disease will need to steer clear of this plant-based substitute as it is made with wheat flour.

New Plant-Based Products You’ll Want To Try

Lately, it seems that new plant-based products are being announced daily.

Below, you’ll find a list and details about ten exciting, new, vegan products that are either coming soon or have recently hit store shelves:

1. Coca Cola announced the launch of a line of dairy-free, bottled smoothies called AdeZ. AdeZ will hit the UK market at the end of March, 2018 and will include three flavors: Amazing Almond Mango Passionfruit, Mighty Oat Strawberry Banana, and Courageous Coconut Berry.
2. Doritos has launched a new spicy, animal-free chip called Blaze.
3. A company called Fora Foods will be launching a plant-based butter this spring. Although there are other plant-based butter alternatives on the market, this product is unique in that it is made with aquafaba – the liquid residue found in chickpea (garbanzo bean) cans. The product is also preservative and artificial ingredient-free.
4. L’oreal announced the sale of a new, 100 percent plant-based hair dye line called Botanea. This product will hit salon shelves in 2018 but, for now, it will only be available in Europe. The dye is said to fill a gap in the market due to fact that it has traditionally been difficult to achieve some shades without animal-based ingredients.
5. A new, vegan burger – made by a company called Moving Mountains – has hit the market and claims to be as good as a traditional beef burger. The B12 burger, as it’s called, is loaded with 20 grams of plant protein and vitamin B12, and is derived primarily from mushroom, peas, potatoes, wheat and soy. Like the Beyond Meat burger and the Impossible burger, the B12 is said to sizzle and “bleed” just like a beef patty.
6. Hakuna Banana is a new, non-dairy “nice cream” made with less than five, whole food ingredients and now available at Whole Foods Market stores in Southern California. The founders describe it as being creamier than sorbet and lower in fat than dairy-based ice cream and most other non-dairy varieties.
7. New Wave Foods has created a plant-based “shrimp” that looks and, supposedly, tastes like the real deal. New Wave began selling this product in 2015, but it was only available to schools, restaurants, resorts, and other large-quantity organizations… until now! This year, the manufacturer of this algae-based fish taste-a-like will make their product available in retail stores in California and Nevada. YAY!
8. A company in France, Les Petits Veganne has found a way to create non-dairy “cheese” options once thought to be impossible including plant-based versions of blue cheese, camembert, and others.
9. Talenti just released a line of lower-calorie gelatos sweetened with cancer-preventative monk fruit, including a new, dairy-free flavor that I’m excited to try – Cold Brew Coffee.
10. The 17-year-old entrepreneur and founder of D’s Naturals has rebranded his company under the name No Cow, and he is launching a line of cookies which are non-dairy, gluten, soy, and GMO-free. Flavors include chocolate chip, chunky peanut butter, snickerdoodle, and double chocolate chunk and contain 10 to 13 grams of protein and only one gram of sugar.
