VeganCuts Snack Box March 2013!

image

If you listen to Red Radio, or follow me on Twitter or Facebook, I’m confident that you’ve heard me rave about vegan coupon site VeganCuts more than once.  I’m more than a return customer… I’m an obsessed customer.  I probably shop on their gorgeous and user-friendly website about twice a month (I’m being modest), and the rewards are incredible.  I’ve discovered amazing new vegan products, picked up a few cute shirts for my vegan message wear collection, bought some of my favorite products in bulk when they appear on the site, and so much more.  

Jill and John, VeganCuts’ charming and friendly co-founders, run a tight ship - I’ve experienced some of the best and most prompt customer service of my life through their glorious website.  Aside from the absolutely mind-blowing regular offers, VeganCuts launched their monthly snack box last year, and not surprisingly, it’s been a massive success.  Think about it: for less than twenty smackers each, you get a box delivered to your doorstep (or have it sent to work to make everyone super jealous!) every. single. month.  Add to that the element of surprise - you get a whole new batch of goodies each time - and it’s a certified no-brainer. 

Seriously, it seems like the only thing I ever get in the mail anymore are flyers from my local pizza joint and, well, bills.  VeganCuts Snack Box to the rescue!  

The neatly packed box of goodies for March 2013 contained the following:

Though I’m pretty up-to-the-minute as far as new vegan products go, I was really pleased to see that the majority of the items in the snack box were brand new to me.  I’ve been a fan of Sjaak’s for a long time, and the Earth Balance Aged White Cheddar Puffs are a staple in my apartment (holy crap, they’re delicious)… but I was a total snack-virgin as far as the rest went.  

I haven’t yet tried the Beyond Eggs - though I plan to make some of Dreena Burton’s yummy cookies soon enough - and the Spirulina Ballerina bar from Barre is still in my backpack for a post-workout snack one of these days… but everything else has already, uh, passed through my system, so to speak.  I already knew how amazing the Earth Balance cheese puffs were, so no epic surprise there.  The sweet scrubby stuff from NYL Skincare made my hands feel as soft as a piglet’s butt.  The dark chocolate sample from Equal Exchange and the egg from Sjaak’s were pretty much gone as soon as I snapped the above photo.  Flamous’ falafel chips were yummy (but far yummier dipped in hummus), and HOLY SWEET GOD the Cocomo Joe’s Caramel Corn was downright romantic.  I gotta pick myself up some more of that delicious stuff with the latest VeganCuts Deal, for REAL.

And that leaves one final goodie:  The Celebrate bar from Eli’s Earth Bars. Now, I’ve seen these things pop up around vegan circles and blogs and the like, but it was my first experience with an Eli’s bar… and let me just tell you, I was in chocolatey-caramel-HEAVEN.  Seriously, I’m simultaneously ecstatic and terrified by my knowledge of their existence.  Because now all I ever want to do is eat them.  All of them.  Creamy, milky-chocolate surrounding a thick portion of to-LIVE-for coconut caramel and perfectly toasted almonds, which add the perfect nutty crunch to an otherwise stick-to-your-teef romantic experience.  I’m head over heels in love, and I’ve already tweeted VeganCuts, begging them to feature them in their next big deal.  EPIC YUM.

Sufficed to say, opening my mailbox to the VeganCuts Snack Box is a far cry from my electric bill… and my tastebuds concur.  If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate.  You might just discover your favorite new vegan product.  And while you’re at it, they make the perfect gift that keeps on giving!

Can you believe that it’s THIS easy to go from frozen bananas to vegan Cake Batter Ice Cream? Yeah, neither could we. But we’re so down.

Oh my god.

EP36: Vegan Positivity with Jaime K from Save The Kales!

Welp, I’ve officially completed one day of life without Facebook.  So far, no hospital visits or withdrawal seizures.  I think I may pull through this one, guys!  Seriously, though…it’s funny how that’s the first site I log into when I get online, and how I feel like I’m forgetting to do something if I don’t.  Sheesh.  The internet is a hell of a drug.

Anywho, I’m currently stuffing my face with an embarrassingly large salad - baby greens, arugula, roma tomatoes, avocado, marinated beets, organic sprouted tofu, black pepper and olive oil & red wine dressing - and am making sure to get this post up before I pass out.  I still owe you guys show notes for EP34 and EP35, which should reach your peepers by Thursday at the latest.  EP36 Notes soon after that.  That’s the whole point of this dang hiatus in the first place - to catch up on everything and get on track going forward.

Have you had the chance to listen to EP36 yet?  It’s pretty fantastic.  Nearly TWO WHOLE HOURS of uplifting vegan goodness.  I interview cutie-patootie and vegan powerhouse Jaime K from the infamous Save The Kales! Blog, which is now a 30min vegan cooking show (I know, AWESOME, right?!), I gab about a bunch of goings-on, and I share a really incredible TED Talk on vulnerability.  Talk about the feel-good-vegan-podcast of the week!  (Is that a thing?)

Everything’s coming up roses in Red Radio Episode Thirty Six!  Erin Red dishes about life, love, and the pursuit of veganism with the always adorable Jamie K, vegan advocate, writer, and gorgeous host of the delightful blog-turned-30 minute vegan cooking show Save The Kales!  Plus, a stirring Compassionate Clip of the Week discussing the power of vulnerability, and Erin Red’s new mini-segment, tentatively called the Red Radio Blotter.  The hits just keep on comin’! Please consider supporting Red Radio by visiting erinred.com and clicking the DONATE button, and subscribe to Red Radio on iTunes today!  If you love what you hear, leave a glowing review, or drop Erin Red a line at erinredradio@gmail.com.  You can also read her blog at erinred.tumblr.com, and find her on Facebook and Twitter @erinred.
