Follow Your Heart
Product: Avocado Oil Vegenaise
Follow Your Heart is on a roll! The brand released a new Vegenaise—an avocado oil based mayonnaise—that is completely vegan. The egg-free, soy-free, and dairy-free spread is the ideal condiment on a juicy vegan burger or in a recipe from their latest cookbook. The main ingredient, avocado oil, is a healthier alternative to the highly processed oils on the market and provides a subtle flavor to the product.
Avoca'Do
Product: Avocado Pudding
Avoca’Do sells a delicious plant-based pudding made with fresh avocados. The main ingredient, Hass avocados, accompanies agave nectar, rice milk, cocoa, and vanilla extract. This heart-healthy snack—a tasty addition to a school lunch—is vegan, gluten-free, and devoid of the top eight allergens. The rich and creamy chocolaty pudding is pronounced ava-ka-DO as in “get out and DO something healthy!” We’re ready to dig into this guilt-free dessert and stock up, as Avoca’Do freezes well.

Moodygirl Chocolate
Product: Chocolate Bars
Moodygirl Chocolate just launched organic, vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free chocolate bars containing only three ingredients—cocoa mass, coconut blossom sugar, and cocoa butter—and added vitamins and adaptogens. The line consists of three indulgent bars, including “For That Time of the Month” (infused with magnesium and vitamin B6 to help relax your muscles, support mood, and help fight fatigue), “Libido Lover” (which contains maca and horny goat weed), and—our favorite—the “Chill Out'' (a minty chocolate that utilizes ashwagandha, an adaptogen to support anxiety and stress). We suggest you try them all with the variety pack.
