We've entered into a world where animals are no longer considered the only source of consumption. Plant-based eating is gaining a lot of momentum from people who once said "i'll never give up meat!" or scoffed at the idea that you can eat a well-balanced diet without animal products.
Whether you're trying out a veggie "burger" for health reasons or you want to spread more compassion to the animal world, it's an interesting adventure. For some, it's worth diving into head first, and for others, they just want to dip their toes in.
I have been finding some awesome brands that meet my nutritional needs, not to mention taste great, and others...well...they won't be in my basket again. I'll share more in future blogs!
I don't always have the energy to cook-from-scratch, as I do have diagnosed health conditions, which are complicated, I'm now in my 40's, so EVERYTHING is changing, relatable, right? So I'm trying to figure out what works for me. If that is a luxury you have, more power to you. Please bake me a gluten-free bread! ;)
So let's get to SNACKS!
Snack-wise, it's been fun and a little frustrating, so when I saw Dare Real Fruit was launching plant-based gummies, I had to get my hands on them. They come in a variety of flavours, like strawberry-kiwi, cherry, pineapple and more! 🍍🍒🥝🍓

Now do these taste the same as the regular ones? No. There is a distinct difference. As many have commented, they have a more "wine gum" texture than a gummy. This seemed to cause a huge uproar, but everyone's tastes are different. Personally, I love the taste and the texture!
I will warn you that they are addictive, so portion them out so you don't eat the entire bag in one-sitting.
Of course you can still purchase Dare's Real Fruit NON plant-based gummies, but I'm sold on these. :)
I think these will be a real hit for friends and family to try at our movie nights and hopefully we can get out "Clue" for a fun board-game evening soon. I have wanted to play this since our 80's wedding!
