Strawberry-Lemonade Cookie

The Delivery: Strawberry-Lemonade cookie from the Alternative Baking Company, Inc.

Staff Pick: The cookie!

The DL: On days like today, we generally sip hot tea and feast on any sort of stew, curry, or soup, as do 74 percent of people who voted on our rainy day staple survey. Despite the constant rain and chilly breeze, the flavors of this cookie remind us of long-lost summer sunshine. Since fall has officially arrived, we’re digging all of the pumpkin-flavored foods pretty much everywhere—pumpkin ale, pie, coffee, doughnuts, everything! Check out Pumpkin Five Ways on VegNews.com to really get filled with the pumpkin spirit. Enjoy.

Honest Tea Drinks

The Date: Wednesday, May 11
The Delivery: Lemonade, Passion Fruit Green Tea, and CocoaNova drinks from Honest Tea
Staff Pick: CocoaNova in Mocha Cacao

The DL: Disclaimer: This picture represents less than 10 percent of the healthy-drink haul we received from Honest Tea today. While our stocks of these new beverages won't be depleted any time soon, we think the supply of the Mocha Cacao might run out first. A guilt-free, healthy vegan chocolate drink? We thought that was the Loch Ness Monster of the drink world. If you'd rather get your chocolate fix in solid form, head on over to the VegNews Store, where vegan candy bars, peanut butter cups, and marzipan bars await.

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.
