livin veg

I just had the pleasure of trying Cool Cups. It has been YEARS since I’ve had anything resembling jello, so I was very excited to sample it. And I wasn’t disappointed. They are light/fruity/sweet so you can eat them and still feel light. I hate desserts that weigh you down. But this was just a delightful treat. A non guilty pleasure.  The Black Cherry flavor was my personal favorite – but I’m partial to berry flavors vs citrus flavors.

The texture was – as far as I can remember – very close to jello. And that’s what it’s all about. The texture. Once you get that down, the rest is easy. They have other items like instant puddings. I’m going to try those next time I’m at Whole Foods. (Whole Foods carries their products. You can locate the Cool Cups Gels near the yogurts.)

I love vegan versions of items – especially items from my childhood. And I think the more vegan versions of the foods people love that exist, the more likely others are to go vegan. Which is sort of the point – to inspire people to change their diets for the benefit animals, their own health and the environment. Even if they don’t go vegan, but veganize their diet, it’s all for the greater good.

Note: Every once in a while a company or group contacts me about trying their item. It’s part of being a blogger. So they send me a bit of their product and I write about it. But I don’t write about the products I don’t like.
