Almond Butter
3 legume pasta box
I've tried all of these before. The soy pasta is something to be reckoned with. AMAZING. The mung bean pasta is nice too, but the black bean pasta has some MAD chew to it and adds nice flavour with a sauce- without a sauce, however is a bit of a beany taste...so a matching sauce really only intensifies the great flavours together! Has the fun advantage of looking like squid ink pasta- and vegan!

Dates
D3
Not vegan - I assume, since i've found no information regarding that online. However it tastes exactly like "dairy" fat. Which is strange to me....but gives me an idea to add it to my cashew milk...and it is an easy way to swallow D3 for days where i cannot bring myself to swallow a tablet (I am mildly phobic of swallowing pills).

5 bean spice cake
This texture is just like ham! It makes an EXCELLENT ham/bacon substitute. Tasty raw right out of the pack, even better cooked.
