Alternative Tootpaste

The Date: Monday, August 29
The Delivery: Toothy Tabs (and some eco-friendly toothbrushes!) from Lush Cosmetics 
Staff Pick: The Toothy Tabs!

The DL: We here at the VNHQ love getting deliveries of chocolate, cookbooks, and chips, but perhaps even more than those three Cs, we love a new vegan product unlike anything we've ever C-een (get it?). Enter: Toothy Tabs. The folks at Lush are aiming to reduce the ecological impact of toothpaste tubes and dispensers with these tabs. Pop in your mouth, brush as normal, and keep some of the one billion toothpaste tubes that end up in landfills annually out. We are so intrigued we might whip some out some of these Toothy Tabs right now. After all, we did just have lunch.

Superfood Snacks

The Date: Friday, August 5
The Delivery: Power Snacks in Citrus Chia Superfood and Cacao Gogi Superfood from Navitas Naturals
Staff Pick: The Cacao Gogi Superfood snacks

The DL: Sure, we like our chips and burritos as much as the next editorial team, but we don't shy away from a healthy snack, either. These bites, filled with superfoods galore, look tasty as can be and we can't wait to try them. Want your snacks (and meals, for that matter) to help get you into shape? Check out our featurette to see what the glycemic index can do for you. Have a wonderful weekend!

Beanfields

The Date: Wednesday, August 3
The Delivery: A really, really big box of pico de gallo chips from Beanfields!
Staff Pick: The chips!

The DL: This delivery of one of our favorite brands of chips (it was a VegPick in our July+August issue, after all!) could not have come at a better time—we just sent the September+October issue to press this very morning and now we're famished! It was a long road, and we here at the VN can't wait to celebrate with Beanfields now and a tipple or two this evening. Want to throw your own cocktail party without spending an arm and a leg? Editorial Assistant Hilary tells you just how to do it on Savvy Vegan. Sangria, anyone?

Bean Chips and Reusable Hand Towels

The Date: Wednesday, April 20

The Delivery: Bean chips in assorted flavors from Beanitos and reusable personal hand towels from People Towels

Staff Pick: The Black Bean Beanitos

The DL: We love two-for-ones: at the grocery store, the book store...well, really any store that wants to give us something for free is good. With these dippers, you get another two-for-one: a wheat-free, corn-free chip! These bad boys also contain a bunch of protein (as they are made from beans), are gluten-free, and vegan. Okay, so maybe they're a five-for-one. Need some mental sustenance to go along with your snacking? Head on over to the VegNews Book Club, where this week we are discussing Colleen Patrick-Goudreau's Vegan's Daily Companion!

Bean Chips, Snack Bars, and Noodles

The Date: Tuesday, March 22

The Delivery: Halo bars in assorted flavors from ProBar, bean and rice chips in assorted flavors from Beanfields, and noodles from NoOodle

Staff Pick: The pico de gallo chips!

The DL: Thank goodness some food came in the mail today; with the entire office buzzing about this week's Vegan Bucket List Giveaway, we were starting to get a little antsy for some office treats (and with the prize being a Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse Bomb cake from Vegan Treats, who can blame us?). We first tasted Beanfields' chips at Expo West, and we think they will make a perfect base for some gooey vegan nachos. Good thing we have a million pounds of Daiya to make our culinary dreams come true. It's nacho time, people.
