Gourmet Simple Syrup

The Date: Friday, August 26

The Delivery: Four flavors of Royal Rose Simple Syrups—rose, lavender-lemon, raspberry, and tamarind

Staff Pick: The Lavender-Lemon Syrup

The DL: Gourmet flavored syrups from Brooklyn? Count us in! While most of the VegNews staff is in Portland noshing on all of Oregon's delicious veg fare at Vida Vegan Con, the rest of us will be taking our drinks to the next level with these syrups: lavender-lemon soda, raspberry cosmos, and rose gimlets, just to name a few. If we really want to get crazy, we might even make our own custom combos. Raspberry-rose martinis, anyone? After all, it's Friday...

Vegan Snack and New Parma! Flavors

The Date: Wednesday, August 25
The Delivery: New flavors of Parma! in Chipotle Cayenne and Garlicky Green from Sister River Foods and assorted cookies, chocolates, and savory snacks from Derrick Sky
Staff Pick: The Chipotle Cayenne Parma!

The DL: Parma! is sort of like water here at the VNHQ (but really, have you seen the size of the bags sitting in our fridge?), so we are beyond excited to try the new flavors. We're pretty much imagining explosions of tasty happiness with every bite. We're also beyond excited for this weekend's Vida Vegan Blogger Conference in Portland, Ore. We will be there in full force—five of us, to be exact—so make sure to say hi if you're going to be there!
