Coconut Oil and Omega-3 Supplements

The Delivery: Dr. Bronner’s new coconut oil and omega-3 supplements from Life’sDHA

Staff Pick: The coconut oil

The DL: Other companies must have gotten wind of this year’s Veggie Awards Product of the Year, which is Earth Balance Coconut Spread—this is our second shipment of tropical coconut goodness since Monday! If you feel like this holiday season needs even more tropical flair, consider checking out the VegNews Holiday Store, where you can find Crazy Rumors Pink Grapefruit Juice Lip Balm, a recipe for Orange Chocolate Macaroons, and even coconut cream chocolates. Or, you could escape the cold and just join us on a trip to Mexico. We won't judge.

Homemade Vegan Eats

The Date: Tuesday, June 14
The Delivery: Homemade barbecue seitan vegan ribs, barbecue sauce, and peach jam from VN volunteer and family member Frankie
Staff Pick: The Saturn Peach Jam

The DL: VN volunteer extraordinaire Frankie recently visited VNHQ, leaving us with some seriously delicious goods. (Let us just say, this lady can make magic happen in the kitchen. Seriously.) We can't wait to bust open this jar of freshly made peach jam and slather it over everything: bagels, waffles, sugar cookies, our bodies, you name it. Okay, maybe not that last one. Speaking of delicious things to slather over bagels, waffles, and the like, This Week's Must Have (the Expo West 2011 Best of Show-winning coconut spread from Earth Balance) is pretty much the best thing for sliced bread since sliced bread.

Vegan Ice Cream, Condiments, and Cleaners

The Date: Wednesday, April 13

The Delivery: Coconut Bliss ice cream from Luna & Larry's, vegan mayo and coconut spread from Earth Balance, and all-natural cleaners from Poppy's Naturally Clean

Staff Pick: The Chocolate Walnut Brownie ice cream

The DL: We tried all four of the new Coconut Bliss flavors at Expo West more than once. Per hour. For three days. Needless to say, when these cartons arrived this morning, it took every ounce of our willpower not to open them right away. Now that it's after lunch, however, you better believe we are writing this post in between bites. Need some new lunch ideas?
