Review: Coconut Organics CocoBacon

Brand:  Coconut Organics

Flavor:  CocoBacon

Where to get it: here @ Coconut Organics

                I was a couple mouthfuls deep before I realized that the front of this package of deliciousness said “vegan.” Now, I’ve HAD vegan bacon before, and it’s pretty atrocious. I’m not a vegan (my hat’s off to you if you are), so I don’t scour the planet for vegan things. BUT THIS. First taste – salty. Second taste – savory smoky bacon. Third taste – mild coconut finish. IT’S SO GOOD, YOU GUYS. Eat it by the handful, but if you manage not to wolf down the entire package, put it on a shrimp dish. Shrimp salad, shrimp po’ boy, any shrimp noodle dish – I DIE. You simply have to try it for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed.

Review: The Love Bean Superfood Fudge Spread

Brand:  Love Bean Superfudge Spread

Flavor:  Essentially Raw & Original Coconut

Where to get it: here @ Love Bean

                I didn’t know what to do with these little packets when I first got them. There are all kinds of suggestions on the back, and one of them is basically “Squirt it into your mouth and commence swooning” (I may be paraphrasing a tad). So, that’s what I did. At first I was like, “This is weird.” And then I was like, “Unnnngghhhh.” The texture is basically that of butter (at room temperature, you can also refrigerate these). I expected it to taste like coconut oil, which I’m not a huge fan of to begin with. It really didn’t though - it tasted more like chocolate, but a very smooth, comforting chocolate. (I’m also not a big fan of chocolate, if you haven’t gathered that yet.)            

                It’s really different. It tastes good. You need to try it for yourself. I feel like it would be absolutely KILLER on some sweet strawberries. Or toast. Man, I love toast. And the Love Bean offers them in little 1oz. packages, which I want to shuffle like playing cards with my grabby little hands.

Tastes like:  You’ll never buy another bottle of that chocolate syrup
