Product review: Pudology!

As I said, today I'm going to be reviewing Pudology, an award winning business who produce a range of vegan and gluten free puddings. I discovered them at VegFestUK (check out my previous post) and have been addicted since! After sampling each dessert, I decided to purchase five banoffee puddings.

Two of the delicious puds :)


Pudology use coconut milk as an alternative to cow's milk, making their desserts incredibly rich and creamy. They taste just as good, if not better than the average non-vegan pudding and, unlike a 'normal' pud, the ingredients list is full of vitamins and foods you can pronounce! The banoffee pud has three layers of chocolate, toffee & banana sauce and biscuit, each one as delicious as the last. My personal favourite is the biscuit base, as I really like the crumbly texture - it goes well with the banana and toffee sauce. I also liked the strawberry pud, but it had been so popular none were left. My daughter has become a massive fan of Pudology as well (she has dairy and egg allergies). 

I am really hoping to see more of Pudology in the future and to hopefully try more of their puds (the lemon one sounds lush!) I've heard they've made a new millionaire's pud as well. My daughter tells me this sounds amazing. Other flavours are chocolate orange and chocolate. 

You can get Pudology select Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tesco stores (unfortunately none near me) and other health food shops. They're on Ocado and goodnessdirect as well. All this information and more is on their website here

Vegfest UK

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to attend Vegfest UK. This was a vegetarian/vegan fair held in Olympia, London. It was an brilliant experience and is well worth going. I discovered some amazing new vegan products that I will be definitely be buying soon. Some of my favourite purchases included:

Pudology sell AMAZING dairy, gluten free and vegan puddings! My fave is definitely the Banoffee. Keep an eye out as you'll see them featuring in my next product review.
 I also got some delicious rose and violet creams from Beech's fine chocolates! They actually taste like the flowers which is something I hadn't expected! The chocolates also come in lime and strawberry.
I discovered some great vegan subscription boxes: TheVeganKind and Vegan Tuck Box. They both look like a really good monthly treat so I will be looking more into those. Finally, I found a brand new vegan magazine company called Vegan Life Magazine! They publish every other month and are full of exciting recipes and stories. 

The fair itself was a blast! There was a smoothie machine powered by a bicycle, so I was able to sip a delicious strawberry and banana smoothie whilst looking around the show. All you had to do was pedal, and the smoothie machine would use the energy from the cycling to blend the smoothie! Brilliant, eh? The Vegan Society had a lucky dip where you could not lose! I won a delicious Rebel Mylk drink that tasted very chocolatey.  

Thank you Vegfest for introducing me to such fab vegan delights! I can't wait until next year! You can find out more about Vegfest here.
