Some Whole Foods and Costco finds! 🛒

It’s national pancake day! 🥞🎃🍁 I really squashed the recipe for these if I do say so myself, as they’re tender and fluffy with just the right amount of spices.

My number one recipe is this “better boxed vegan cake”method, and since Dolly Parton’s cake mixes have always been my favorite to use, it seemed fitting to post for 9 to 5 Day. Today is a tribute to Dolly and the song that became an anthem for working people everywhere and I’m posting this video today in her honor, because her mixes are batter than all the others imho. We honor your memory, Dolly. Thank you for the music, the joy, and your huge heart.🦋💛 Comment RECIPE and I’ll send it to you!

Starting the first and last post of a new series called “Memba These?” Every one is a vegan product from the BBV archives that used to be on shelves but isn’t anymore. And because no one is reading, this will be the last time I post this. I’d say thanks for the memories but no one seems thankful. I’m disappointed I put so much work into this post because I thought everyone would be interested to see what once was but unfortunately they were not. Comments will be turned off because people can’t be nice and behave themselves.

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?

Some Trader Joe’s, Walmart and Costco finds! 🛒 This had a new tag at my store but I couldn’t find it on their website so if it’s not new, don’t come for me.

The Pillsbury maple Grands biscuits are back. @kooshy vegan stuffing mix spotted at Costco! They weee sampling these Siete cookies and they were delish. I may have gone back for three.
