Book, Coconut-Almond Milk, and a Giveaway!

The Delivery: Non-veg cookbook Bean by Bean by Crescent Dragonwagon and Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almond-Coconut Milk Blends

Staff Pick: Almond Coconut Milk

The DL: Coconut milk is definitely a favorite here at the VNHQ, and this new product combines it with almond milk for a new twist. If this product doesn’t excite you, let us know what does, and you could win a copy of The Tipsy Vegan. The book contains incredible recipes like Coconut HELL-O! Shots, Bad-Ass Beer Cake with Bourbon Raisins and Amaretto Frosting, and The Chugging Pumpkin Soup, all made with alcohol! We’ll be picking a random winner on Tuesday at noon, so you could be noshing on boozy foods soon after Thanksgiving. Happy Friday!

Nail Polish and Trader Joe's Goodies

The Date: Thursday, July 28

The Delivery: Nail polish from Scotch Naturals and coconut milk and Dark Chocolate Nutty Bits from Trader Joe's

Staff Pick: The nail polish in Seething Jealousy

The DL: You might be in seething jealousy at the sight of this gorgeous shade of non-toxic, water-based nail polish, and we wouldn't blame you. We want this color on our nails as badly as we want a Mai Tai Martini in our hands. We're too busy finishing up our insane-amazing September+October issue to stop for manicure, but luckily we'll be able to grab the martini at tonight's SF Vegan Drinks. In the Bay Area? We'd love to see you! 

Nuts for Coconut Milk

The Date: Wednesday, January 5
The Delivery: Lots of goodies from So Delicious
Staff Pick: The individual serving Coconut Milks

The DL: The holidays might technically be over, but that doesn't stop the steady stream of gifts from flooding into the VNHQ each day. OK, maybe technically they aren't gifts—they are, in fact, products for review—but opening the big delivery boxes certainly feels like opening presents. Today, we were thrilled to discover a huge box from So Delicious that contained a selection of the company's Coconut Milk line, plus a sweet Hamilton Beach blender and a fancy glass. Trying to decide what to pick was tough, so we went with the mini-milks, since three flavors are better than one. Today, for the first time ever, we feel like Jillian Michaels might be jealous of us!

Going Coconuts!

Date: Friday, August 21
The Delivery: Born to Run by Christopher McDougall and an insane amount of coconut-milk products from Turtle Mountain
Staff Pick: The So Delicious Strawberry Coconut Milk Kefir

The DL: Yes, that is vegan kefir you see below, and a strawberry-flavored one at that. Turtle Mountain has been busting out coconut-milk products left and right, which we think is totally awesome! Now if you'll excuse us, we're going to dive into this coconutty goodness.
