deathrey Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Have you tried any of the Coconut milk yogurts @Chest Rockwell? Koko and The Coconut Collaborative are both quite nice and the best of the non-dairy stuff I've found. Though, I genuinely don't think any are as good as dairy yogurt. Quote
Sphinx Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 I was pleasantly surprised by the ones Aldi do. They have a vanilla flavour and a blueberry flavour and I rate both. Think they're 90p for 500g. Quote
Merzbow Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 Soya is a shit alternative for dairy, I feel sorry for earlier vegans that only had that and not the million of other choices out there today. Quote

Will give them a go. I think it's a tough one particularly because if you have flavoured yoghurt you can mask it a bit, but because I'm looking for natural yoghurt the difference in the substitutes is much more noticeable.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted May 27, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 27, 2021 The Collective do good plant-based yoghurts; I've only had the fudge and raspberry ones, but they're good stuff. Quote
Paid Members Chris B Posted May 27, 2021 Author Paid Members Posted May 27, 2021 Oatgurt is the most impressive of the yogurts I've tried so far. I haven't tried the plain one, but the blueberry and strawberry ones are both excellent. Annoyingly, it's sold out from my local place and I don't know if they'll get more in. Quote

I fucking love this stuff, mostly the fact it's 80p. Sure it tastes like cheap chocolate ice cream (the own brand £1 a litre stuff) but I always used to love that too. Get all 3 flavours and make yourself a bargain Neapolitan. Quote

Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 28, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 28, 2021 Posted this in the "Recipes On Youtube" thread, but the "Spain On A Fork" channel has a lot of really nice-looking veggie dishes, some of which he provides tips for to make completely vegan. The first one, I'm particularly intrigued by, and will be looking to try it out. Quote
Paid Members DEF Posted May 28, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 28, 2021 Finished work this morning and there's nowt in the cupboard so this thread inspired me to go full vegan eatclean. (oxymoron maybe?) Just wolfed down two Burger King Vegan Royales I had delivered. Hit the spot nicely, Cheers. Quote

The first one, I'm particularly intrigued by, and will be looking to try it out. So I got round to trying the first of these, the "Gypsy Stew" or Olla Gitana as it's called in Spanish. It's really good. Very difficult to get wrong, because you're basically cooking a load of simple ingredients together. Used squash instead of pumpkin, but it still worked. The flavours are rich, but fresh; the pear and mint were the bits I was apprehensive about, but they added a beautiful edge to it. I almost got it vegan - I used a bit of white wine instead of wine vinegar, and it most likely wasn't vegan. So close. But I think I'll be able to get it right for my vegan mates.
