Mother’s Day Recipe Roundup

NEW organic Greek style cashew and coconut yogurt at Trader Joe’s! 🥣 And as is their way, I’ve also heard that their vegan chocolate chip cookies that are available only in some regions (west coast I believe) are discontinued because the bakery is going out of business unfortunately. I’ve been told these have been sold for close to 20 years in stores there. I’ve only seen them in California and Arizona and I haven’t confirmed this news yet but ask at your local store if you had them available there for more information. Big thanks to both the person who sent me the yogurt shots (spotted in Michigan) and the person in California who told me about the cookies. 🙏🏼

Well, that’s a wrap on the cheese-style slices at Trader Joe’s.🧀 It has been discontinued according to my sources and other posts on social, so if these were part of your regular TJ’s haul, you may want to stock up while you can. Maybe “favorite” is a stretch but a lot of folks loved this item and if I’ve learned anything doing this account for so many years is that everyone has their own “good”. I’ve updated my running list of discontinued Trader Joe’s vegan items blog post with some insights as to why this keeps happening and I’m keeping tabs back to 2025 for posterity. 👉🏼Comment LINK and I’ll send you my article.

BREAKING CHEWS! Are dehydrated vegan marshmallows about to hit store shelves for the first time at a major retailer? No gelatin, no animal ingredients, just the crunchy cereal style marshmallow bits you remember from childhood, but fully plant based?! We got a tip from an insider that they will be sold at Walmart, with Yummallo possibly the brand behind them. They already sell a conventional dehydrated marshmallow with a very similar SKU to these new ones and a reset is expected to happen in about 6 weeks with these slated to be on store shelves. 👀 This could mark the first time a vegan dehydrated marshmallow has ever been sold at a mainstream major U.S. retailer and I’ve certainly never seen them in stores before. Get my full breakdown, photos and everything I know so far at bigboxvegan.com or comment LINK and I’ll send it right to you. Did you have this on your vegan wishlist this year?
