SPOTTED: The Fresh Market

Special edition of fan finds! 🎉 Now donut lose your minds but seems like some stores and regions may be getting back some vegan donuts at Whole Foods. I’ve been told they’re looking at local suppliers to bring items back into their bakeries which seems like a bit of a pivot from having prepacked vegan offerings available nationwide. These were spotted in what looks like the cookies by the pound case at a store in Salt Lake City, Utah. That could be the loophole since that’s a different program for WFM. Your guess is as good as mine but if any bakery team members want to weigh in that would be appreciated. @beyondmeat spicy buffalo chicken pieces spotted @krogerco stores. These were previously available online in January along with a lemon herb flavor from their test kitchens and now seem to be making their way to stores. Also at Kroger, @gardein ultimate extra crispy nuggets spotted. @mccainfoodsusa new garlic herb crinkle fries spotted @walmart stores and @lidlus has some new edamame spring rolls available. These are not my finds so I don’t have all the ingredients photos nor more information. Will update as I find out more. Huge thanks to everyone who sent me finds, I appreciate you! 🧡🙏🏼

Pepperidge Farm Coconut Cake was a childhood favorite for me and I’ve been trying to crack a vegan version for a really long time and I think this is it. I used my better boxed vegan cake method using @dollyparton @realduncanhines cake mix but the frosting was the hardest part to decode and what kind it is may surprise you! Comment RECIPE and I’ll send it right over. 🥥🍰

@sprouts finds! 🌱 These new @magicchocolateinc bars were one of my favorite things I tried at ExpoWest in March! They’re amazing. New @terrachips sweet chili chips, @kitehillfoods Greek yogurts, @abesmuffins gluten free chocolate chip muffins, @sietefoods chili lime seasoning, and new look for @daiyafoods zesty cheddar sauce. Use the Sprouts app or @instacart for availability near you. 📍

🥐 I’ve gotten insider information that Whole Foods is discontinuing the vegan individual SINGLE packs of croissants, blueberry muffins and scones. The multi-packs of croissants and scones are still ok for now I’m told but I’m pretty sure the muffins were only available as singles. Some may be happy with this news because of waste and environmental concerns of the packaging. 🛒 I have a rolling post with updates on all the changes at WFM bakeries and details on this particular discontinuation so comment LINK and I’ll send it to you.

I worked at Whole Foods pre and post Amazon and I’m finally writing about it. It’s not a hit piece but more of a mourning of what it once was. The vegan donuts, soy nuggets and pizza are history but so is the culture that made it special in my opinion. Comment LINK for my full blog post and what thing do you miss the most?

It’s national banana day! ✨🍌 This is my incredible banana bread you have to try! Comment RECIPE and I’ll send it right over.
