The Bear Essentials

Date: Tuesday, July 21
The Delivery: A couple of books, some Inspired Cookies, a bunch of Stretch Island fruit leathers, a non-vegan hair product, Larénim Mineral make-up, and some whole-grain granola
Staff Pick: Bear Naked's Fit Granola

The DL: Unfortunately, most of Bear Naked's products contain honey, but we were happy to see that these two products were vegan friendly. Soy-yogurt parfaits, anyone?

Only nine more days to vote for the 2009 Veggie Awards. We would love to have your input!

Pure Energy

Date: Tuesday, June 2
The Delivery: A thought-provoking book by Melanie Joy, Ph.D., some non-vegan cereal and granola bars, and several energy-inducing beverages
Staff Pick: Chuck the synthetic Red Bull and pick up a 100-percent natural GURU energy drink

The DL: Yes, an energy drink may not be the best thing to ingest, but if you just have to have one, go au naturel. This one comes in a variety of flavors such as Superfruit and Tangerine! Please drink responsibly.
