Life is sweet with these cruelty-free, vegan honey alternatives
Got honey? While not as obvious as meat, dairy, and eggs, this animal byproduct is not considered vegan. Hey, those bees work hard for the honey! Opting for maple syrup drizzles and swirls of agave nectar can often do the trick, but some foods just call for honey—bee-free honey, that is! Looking to add sweetness to warm vegan biscuits and cups of hot tea? Here are four vegan honey brands to try.
Gaffney Foods
Available in Red Clover and Elder Flower varieties, you won’t want to miss out on Gaffney Foods Nectar. There’s just so much to love here! It’s the aesthetic packaging and sweet, floral taste for us. From salad dressings to homemade desserts, Nectar works well in all your go-to recipes that call for honey.

Just launched: Laughing in the Face of Chaos by Rudá Iandê
Exhausted from trying to hold it all together?
You show up. You smile. You say the right things. But under the surface, something’s tightening. Maybe you don’t want to “stay positive” anymore. Maybe you’re done pretending everything’s fine.
This book is your permission slip to stop performing. To understand chaos at its root and all of your emotional layers.
In Laughing in the Face of Chaos, Brazilian shaman Rudá Iandê brings over 30 years of deep, one-on-one work helping people untangle from the roles they’ve been stuck in—so they can return to something real. He exposes the quiet pressure to be good, be successful, be spiritual—and shows how freedom often lives on the other side of that pressure.
This isn’t a book about becoming your best self. It’s about becoming your real self.
