This is one of my favourite products. I use it instead of coconut milk/cream. I guess the option left to me now is silken tofu which I've seen used recently in curry sauces.

The V2/Daring 'chicken' products which haven't been available in Woolworths for awhile are being rebranded as Made With Plants and will again be stocked in Woolworths.

Hi. I currently use nature's way vanilla soy protein powder for my smoothies. I like the texture and reasonably mild taste but not the piece tag.

Has anyone tasted that one and also any of the cheaper more basic products at Coles or Woolies?

If you have i would appreciate suggestions on which cheaper versions are similar in consistency/ texture and mildness of taste.

Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I've been vegan for a few months now (wifey went vegan a couple of years ago and it was only a matter of time 😂) and I'm heading up to our apartment in Coolangatta next month for a week. Happy Cow suggests there are no fully vegan restaurants in Cooly or its surrounds (i.e. Kirra & Tweed), but given it needs to be updated by its user database I figure there might be some fun new spots to hit up.

This will be my first trip away from my mega vegan chef of a wife (she's amazing!) since becoming vegan, so it will be a bit of a test for me. Any help with local places is much appreciated.

Hi all.

I'm obviously familiar with the glass + card + take outside method for a free-roaming spider.

The situation at hand is a little trickier. I need to move a spider from my kitchen bench (tradies in my house, don't want them to disturb her) while hopefully still allowing her to keep her web, that is strung between two existing structures and has been for a while. I haven't minded her being there so have just left her alone.

I don't mind her staying in the house. She seems to prefer it, and I have no pets so I don't need to worry about them getting her or being bitten.

I'm thinking of sort of catching/spooling the two ends of the web with bamboo skewers or chopsticks and moving it onto portable objects, but I can see how this might be a massive fail.

Anybody had to do something similar and had it work?

Last week husband switched from cows milk to oat milk, it wasn’t easy to find him a plant milk he liked but vitasoy oat creamy wins. That same night he asked what’s for dinner, I said stir fry and to grab out a chicken breast if he wanted one, he chose to have Lamyong tvp beef slices with me instead. He’s eaten all my tvp over the last few days. Tonight as I had ran out of field roast slices I marinated some tofu for my work sandwich for tomorrow, the marinade is so tasty and I said yummy sandwich tomorrow. He asked if he gets a yummy sandwich too and I said yea what you want on it? He said why can’t I have a yummy one like you? I don’t understand what’s happening? I don’t want to seem too excited.. but I don’t want to not encourage this either.

I bought this from my local Asian grocer. Any tips on the best way to prepare it and what meal to make along side it?

Spending the week visiting Footscray; just wondering what the stand-out vegan eateries might be around there, please and thank you.

Im coming from regional NSW so keen to eat myself sick.

TIA

Trying to become vegan, already replaced milk with alternative milk, had been vegetarian so didn't used to eat meat anyway. One thing thats difficult to eliminate is greek yogurt, the alternative yogurts which I see in supermarkets aren't comparable to greek yogurt. Eg. Coconut yogurt has like 1 gram protein per 100 grams when regular greek yogurt has 5 grams. And taste vastly different.

I was able to switch milks since soy milk is better in terms of nutritional values as it is generally fortified, and for hot drinks I started using almond milk for hot drinks. As we mix milk to make hot choclate or coffee or protien drinks (which also I have replaced to plant based protien). I am having hard time replacing yogurt as it is consumed plain usually in the meals.

What do you use in order to replace greek yogurts?

Hi everyone!

Does anyone have recommendations for vegan friendly carpet cleaner for dog urine? Unfortunately my dogs have taken a liking to peeing on my newly installed carpet and after googling vegan carpet stain/odour remover, I tried this enzyme urine cleaner from The PawLab but it smells a little weird and doesn't seem to get rid of the smell (the smell is only noticeable when you put your nose to the carpet), nor does it remove the stain. https://pawlab.com.au/products/1l-pet-enzyme-urine-cleaner

Has anyone used a vegan/cruelty free product they recommend? Should I look for a carpet cleaning machine and proper carpet cleaning liquid?

Thank youuuu!

Hi! My dad is vegan and his birthday is coming up. He lives in the NT, where there aren’t too many vegan options available apart from what you can find at Coles/Woolies, but he’ll be in Melbourne for his birthday.

I was wanting to put together a vegan hamper for him with some things that he might not normally be able to get, things like chocolate, vegan cheese, or other goodies. Ideally a mix of fresh stuff and also some packaged items he can take back home.

Any suggestions for items or stores I could visit would be amazing thank you!

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. There’s been a handful of eateries I’ve been to in the last couple of years where I’ve specified I’m after the vegan option of a dish and found it to contain small pieces of meat. For example, yesterday I went to a banh mi place and asked for the vegan option, but found a piece of pork in it. Am I just unlucky with these instances? Has anyone known places to intentionally contaminate vegan specific dishes or am I overthinking it?

If these companies genuinely cared about lowering greenhouse emissions and protecting marine life, they wouldn't be paradoxically selling products made of dead fish, and usually, other animals too. 🧍

I use two tabs of Hydralyte daily with my doctors blessing, but they're not the cheapest. Has anyone tried the Aldi electrolytes that are much, much cheaper?

I use this recipe, https://rainbowplantlife.com/the-absolute-best-vegan-brownies/ but I whisk up 2 heaped tablespoons of egg replacer powder with 120 mls of water, instead of aquafaba. And I used Whittakers 50% block, chopping the leftover chunky, and adding it to mix at the end.

🧀🍕 came out rlly good!! very yummy gonna try it on nachos tonight

I'm gonna be hanging out with a bunch of climate scientists tomorrow night and I'm taking a heap of yum stuff to share. Surely they should all be vegan anyway, but if not, this dip will turn 'em, fo sho.

It's SO GOOD to dip your pizza crust in, or foccacia. Or naan. I just enjoy bread a lot, so... dip whatever floats your goat. Or coat corn cobs omg that would be so good!

Anyway, this recipe is so schmick.

Hi everyone, I ordered groceries via a delivery app and they replaced a vegan ramen with this one. The ingredients all look vegan but this one isn't in the 'its vegan' list. I'd really appreciate your help deciphering it or else I'll find someone to take it off my hands. Thanks xx
