Review: NadaMoo That Snickerdoodle Dough

I might have bought this because of the funny name, but it also turned out to be my favorite non-dairy ice cream so far. 

All of the NadaMoo vegan ice cream flavors that I've tried have been incredible. They're especially good at recreating the texture of dairy ice cream. This one is my favorite (so far). 

They found the perfect balance of sweet but not too sweet, and creamy but not too rich. There isn't a strong coconut flavor either like with some coconut milk products. 

Plus, vegan and gluten-free cookie dough pieces?! I would eat those by themselves. 

NadaMoo That Snickerdoodle Dough ingredients: Organic coconut milk, water, organic agave nectar, organic inulin, snickerdoodle cookie bits [white rice flour, cane sugar, butter alternative (oil blend (palm fruit, canola and olive oils), water, salt, natural flavor, sunflower lecithin, lactic acid (non-dairy), annatto extract (color)), tapioca flour, water, potato starch, egg replacer (potato starch, tapioca flour, leavening (calcium lactate (non-dairy), calcium carbonate, cream of tartar), cellulose gum, modified cellulose), ground cinnamon, salt, guar gum, natural flavor, xanthan gum, sodium alginate, organic tapioca syrup solids, organic guar gum, organic cinnamon, sea salt, organic locust bean gum.

Review: The Complete Cookie - Peanut Butter

Lenny & Larry's The Complete Cookie is a vegan cookie that's more like a nutrition bar. I thought peanut butter might be a good flavor to balance out the added protein. I did like this better than the white chocolatey macadamia Complete Cookie, but it still has an aftertaste that reminded me of a PowerBar. 

The texture was soft and made me think of the peanut butter Grandma's cookies at first. After eating a lot of it though it started to feel dense and dry. 

If you're craving a cookie, this might not hit the spot. But it's not bad when you consider it has 16 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber while being eggless and dairy free. If you're on a road trip or stopping for a quick snack at the gas station, this will probably be more filling than other options. 

Peanut butter Complete Cookie ingredients: Enriched Wheat Flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), Chicory Root Fiber, Peanut Butter, Protein Blend (vital wheat gluten, pea protein, rice protein), Invert Sugar, Vegetable Glycerine, Cane Sugar, Peanuts, Palm Fruit Oil, Sunflower Lecithin, Natural Flavors, Baking Soda, Salt, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum.

Review: Lenny & Larry's The Complete Cookie Peanut Butter

Taste: Strong peanut flavor, sweet, slight nutrition bar aftertaste 

Texture: Soft, dense, a little dry 

Can you tell it's vegan? Maybe, you can tell it's a nutrition food

Worth buying again? I would eat this again but it's not at the top of my grocery list

Review: NadaMoo Strawberry Cheesecake

NadaMoo is one of my favorite vegan ice cream brands that I've tried so far. And I love strawberry cheesecake ice cream, so I was excited to see their dairy-free strawberry cheesecake. Like all NadaMoo ice creams, it's gluten free.

The ice cream is strawberry and cheesecake ice creams swirled together. The strawberry had a bit of a yogurt taste to it and intense strawberry flavor. The cheesecake ice cream tastes surprisingly close to cheesecake for being vegan.

It was a little sweeter than I prefer, but I usually like things to be less sweet than most people do.

The texture was a little denser than the other flavors, and the pint didn't look as full. It was super creamy though. It was also rich and more filling than some other ice creams.

The only thing it was missing is cheesecake bites. It has pieces of pie crust that I was expecting to be cheesecake. So compared to Ben & Jerry's strawberry cheesecake, this was not what I expected. But if you know to expect pie crust pieces, it's pretty good.

NadaMoo Strawberry Cheesecake ingredients: water, organic coconut milk, organic agave syrup, organic tapioca syrup, organic inulin, strawberry puree (water, sugar, strawberry flavor with other natural flavors, locust bean gum, guar gum, and citric acid), almond meal, organic guar gum, natural flavors, light brown sugar, sweet white rice flour, tapioca flour, brown rice flour, sea salt, arrowroot flour, non-GMO canola oil, organic locust bean gum, organic coconut oil, red beet extract (color), annatto extract (color), sorghum flour, xanthan gum, ground cinnamon.
