Store Crawl #5: Shopper’s Drug Mart

2023-10-09 Ater Imber Leave a comment

This article was written 23.08.28, some of the products below may be out of stock, discontinued or otherwise unavailable at your local store. Please check with your own closest location for product availability.

As a drug store, carrying food isn’t Shopper’s primary focus, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise that their vegan offerings are not as plentiful as some grocery stores.

Some of their locations don’t even have a grocery section, and the ones that do, well it’s not that big. You can usually get fresh produce, juice/pops or other snack foods and that’s pretty much it.

Oh, and you can also find great deals on Halloween candy! (Though not the vegan kind)

Vegan Fast Food: Starbucks Edition

2023-09-11 Ater Imber Leave a comment

In Canada, Starbucks is known as being the coffee company that tried to take over Tim Horton’s corner of the market with their “weird” offerings and too many choices.

While it’s true they have a lot of coffee customization, it turns out this is a good thing!

Almost all of their coffee offerings you’re able to swap out cow’s milk for a plant alternative (soy, almond and coconut are some of the most popular) and their iced coffees you’re usually also able to just say “no whip”.

As if that wasn’t amazing enough, some locations also have vegan foods available!

Starting in the top left-hand corner, moving clockwise:

Hot Coffee
Iced Coffee
Hot Tea
Iced Tea
Plain Bagel
Sprouted Grain Bagel
Everything Bagel
Cinnamon Bagel
Beyond Meat, Cheddar & Egg Sandwich (minus the cheese and egg)
Avocado Spread
Steal Cut Oatmeal
Lentils & Vegetable Protein Bowl with Brown Rice
Apples, Peanut Butter & Trail Mix Snack Box
Seasonal Fruit Blend
HIPPEAS Organic Chickpea Puffs
Spearmint Gum

The following products are also vegan, but I wasn’t able to find pictures of them:

• Classic Oatmeal
• Hearty Blueberry Oatmeal

I also reached out to Starbucks Canada (23.06.08) to find out if the following products were vegan, as their website didn’t have the ingredients listed. Unfortunately they didn’t get back to me for these specific products, so I recommend reading the packaging, or calling/asking your local store before purchasing:

Starbucks® Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans
Squirrel™ Classic Almonds
Squirrel Brand® Crème Brûlée Almonds
Salted Almond Chocolate Bites
Justin’s® Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Butter Gourmet Popcorn
Crispy Apple Chips
Perfectly Salted Kettle Potato Chips
Salt & Vinegar Kettle Chips
KIND® Nuts Cherry & Dark Chocolate Bar
KIND Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Bar

Not all these products may be available at every store location, either. But it’s nice to know you’re able to get something other than a customized drink if you want to.

Where Do Vegans Get Their Vitamin A?

2023-07-17 Ater Imber Leave a comment

While most people don’t need to specifically worry about whether or not they’re getting enough Vitamin A, it’s still beneficial to learn what foods have which nutrients. It can also be helpful to see some “staple” foods that seem to have every nutrient in them that you should be eating all the time, and other foods you can use to shake up your diet, while maintaining your health.

Speaking of which, you may know that Vitamin A is important for you to eat, but do you know why? (Other than “people say so”)

Vitamin A is important to eat because it helps maintain:

Vision
Body Growth
Immune Function
Reproductive Health

There’s actually two kinds of Vitamin A: Vitamin A1 (also called retinol) is the kind only found in animal products, whereas Provitamin A is the kind found in plant-based foods.

And while getting enough Vitamin A is important for your overall health (my research found “males” need 900 micrograms, whereas “females” need 700 micrograms), I also came across an article that said getting too much Vitamin A (200,000mcg) could lead to some not-so-fun side effects:

Nausea
Vomiting
Vertigo
Blurry Vision

The article I found this information from was unclear on whether or not they were speaking about the food-sourced Vitamin A or supplements, but I figured it was good information to include, anyway.

Now you know how much you need (and how much to avoid), time to learn the best plant-based sources of Vitamin A:

Starting in the top left-hand corner, moving clockwise:

Sweet Potato, Baked 1,920 mcg
Carrots, Cooked 1,280 mcg
Butternut Squash, Baked 1,140 mcg
Spinach, Cooked 943 mcg
Collard Greens, Cooked 722 mcg
Turnip Greens, Cooked 549 mcg
Swiss Chard, Cooked 536 mcg
Pumpkin Pie (1 “piece”) 488 mcg
Cantaloupe 270 mcg
Red Bell Pepper, Raw (1 Large) 257 mcg
Romaine Lettuce, Raw 205 mcg
Grapefruit (1 full) 178 mcg (89 mcg per half)
Kale, Cooked 172 mcg
Broccoli 120 mcg
Mango 89 mcg
Papaya 78 mcg
Apricot (2 Apricots) 67 mcg
Black Eyed Peas, Boiled 66 mcg
Watermelon 43 mcg
Tomato Juice (3/4C) 42 mcg
Tangerine (1 full) 37 mcg

Vegan Fast Food: Dairy Queen Edition

2023-06-19 Ater Imber Leave a comment

Not too surprisingly, Dairy Queen does have vegan options, but there’s not a lot of them, and, their most popular items haven’t been veganized. (Yet)

What did surprise me however, was the fact that they sold more than just ice cream. Their website included burgers, chicken fingers, and more!

Starting in the top left-hand corner and moving clockwise:

Non-Dairy Dilly Bars
Side Salad
Fries
Onion Rings
Soft Pretzel Sticks with Zesty Queso*
Cherry Misty Slush (Red 40)
Kiwi Strawberry Misty Slush (Red 40)
Blue Raspberry Misty Slush (Blue 1, Red 40)
Lemon Lime Misty Slush
Mug Root Beer
Mountain Dew Original (Yellow 5)
Dr. Pepper Original
Brisk Iced Tea

*According to the ingredients listed, the Queso isn’t vegan, however the pretzels are. The description said the queso came on the side, so while I’ve never tried to, you might be able to order the pretzels and ask them to hold the dip. Or give it away to a non-vegan friend.

I also found ingredients for a Grape Misty Slush, but wasn’t able to find a picture.

One thing I found a little… let’s call it ‘sneaky’ is that the Pepsi and Diet Pepsi that are listed on their website have “artificially flavoured Vanilla Ice Milk” listed in the ingredients.

I’m not trying to accuse Dairy Queen of anything – their thing is ice cream, so it makes sense a lot of their offerings contain milk – however, the fact that the Pepsi and Diet Pepsi are listed with the other pops, and not under the Blizzard or other drink labels just doesn’t sit right with me.

According to the ingredients, it’s clearly some sort of drink mix, but to list it as just “Pepsi” and not tell people it’s a mixed drink… I don’t know, I just don’t like that.

Anyway, there you go. If you ever find yourself stranded with nothing other than a Dairy Queen around, now you know at least you won’t starve.

This article was written 23.03.06, some of the below products may be sold out/discontinued/etc. at the time of posting.

Though No Frills is owned by Loblaw, they surprisingly don’t carry as many vegan options as their parent company. Sure they’re a ‘discount’ store, but that doesn’t mean they should carry less vegan products.

Vegan Alternatives to Warm Fabrics

2023-01-30 Ater Imber Leave a comment

Living in Canada means I get the fun of dealing with 4-feet snow banks and -40C temperatures. Unfortunately, humans aren’t born with a layer of heated skin, so we have to find other ways to keep ourselves warm during winter. The most usual being winter clothes. Jackets, boots, gloves, hats, scarves, etc.

Also unfortunately, most of the go-to fabrics for winter clothing aren’t vegan friendly. Wool, down, fur – even silk! This makes it hard to find vegan-friendly winter clothes for new and veteran vegans alike.

Fortunately though, we’re living in the future!

This means with a little bit of research, you can find suitable winter clothes that will keep you nice and toasty – without compromising your ethics.

Thinsulate

This fabric is a synthetic, waterproof and durable cold weather textile. I’ve seen this stuff being used the most as an alternative to the down lining in winter jackets, but I bet with a bit of searching you could find it available for other clothing items, as well.

It also used to be much harder to find than it is nowadays, which is great news for vegans!

Cotton

Yes, this simple, well-known fabric has many uses – including being a great alternative to wool for winter!

While cotton isn’t water-proof, it does a great job of keeping you warm in the colder months. It’s also soft and breathable, which is a must when you’re layering ten fabrics together!

Another great thing about cotton? It’s super easy to blend it with other fabrics!

Looking for a clothing item that’s a mix of cotton and something else will give your innerds the best chance at staying warm and dry.

Polyester, Nylon and Acrylic

These materials are another synthetic alternative. While they’re some of the most widely-available fabrics, I’ll leave it up to you on whether or not you want to shoulder the environmental responsibility.

That said, keep in mind that buying a clothing item that contains one or more of these fabrics is still ethically better than one of the usual winter go-tos.

Bamboo

Not just for toilet paper – bamboo is another versatile material that’s breaking into the winter clothing market!

Bamboo clothes can be some of the softest, most comfortable pieces you’ll ever wear. It also has antifungal and odour resistant properties, which makes it a great option for doing activities such as shovelling snow.

One downside to bamboo is that it’s not the warmest option available. So you might want to skip wearing it on the coldest day of the year.

Wildflowers

Yes, that’s right! While this might be a harder alternative to find than some of the others I’ve mentioned, there are companies out there using wildflowers as an alternative stuffing option to down!

I don’t imagine you’d be able to find these clothing items at ‘normal’ retailers such as Old Navy, but they shouldn’t be too hard to find on a dedicated vegan clothing website.

I’ve also heard of a few companies using materials like coconut or soybean fiber, but like wildflowers, I don’t think those pieces are as widely available as some of the others I mentioned.

Some winter coats also have detachable fur lining on their hoods, so if you’re really in a pinch – and the rest of the materials used in the jacket are alright – you can always zip it off and donate it.

While there’s not too many widely available vegan materials for winter clothes, there’s definitely enough you should be able to find what you need to make it through.

And if you don’t… well you can have a 5 month house party!

Surprising Vegan Noodles

2022-09-26 Ater Imber Leave a comment

Noodles.

They come in all different shapes, sizes, and some aren’t even made out of flour!

It shouldn’t surprise you to know that most pasta noodles are made without eggs.

But what might surprise you, is that those aren’t the only noodles available!

Take a look at the collage below, and think about expanding your horizons on your next pasta night.

*Tinkyada is a local (Scarborough) made, 100% vegan rice pasta brand!

Unico, No Name, Ital Pasta, Catelli, PC and De Cecco have many different shapes of pasta that are suitable for vegans. If I had filled the collage with every shape they had available, it would’ve been way too big! So instead, I decided to pick 1 shape from each brand to represent what they offer.

Most brands that I’ve found tend to stick with one way to make their noodles. So if you find one shape that doesn’t contain egg (or milk?), chances are good their other shapes won’t.

Some of these brands are also specifically Canadian, so I’m not sure if they’re available in other countries.

There were a few other things that were vegan, but I wasn’t able to find pictures of. Those items are:

Mayonnaise Type Dressing
Sweet and Smokey BBQ Sauce
Kentucky Hot Sauce
Salt Packets
Pepper Packets
Vinegar Packets

One thing to note, for the plant-based fillet, though the website says it has vegan ingredients, a different page on the website said it’s cooked in the same fryer as their meat fillets. I believe this is why they’re officially calling it their ‘plant based’ sandwich, instead of actually using the word ‘vegan’.

It’s great to see them opening up to plant based options, but I’ll leave whether or not you want to buy the sandwich up to you.

Perhaps in the future, they’ll see their error and begin cooking it in a different fryer. But for now, it’s a no go for me.

Where Do Vegans Get Their Vitamin C?

2022-05-23 Ater Imber Leave a comment

Vitamin C is one of the more popular nutrients people talk about. Maybe it’s because that’s the nutrient people focus on when they catch a cold – everyone knows when you’re sick/have a cold to drink orange juice to replenish your Vitamin C.

But what you might not know, is that oranges actually aren’t the best source.

AterImber.com - The Veg Life - Vegan Tips - Nutrient Collage Series - Vitamin C - vegan, vegan food, vegan nutrients, blogger, food blogger, nutrition, health, healthy eating tips

Starting in the top left-hand corner, moving clockwise:

Raw Red Bell Pepper 190mg
Raw Green Bell Pepper 120mg
Cooked Broccoli 102mg
Raw Strawberries 98mg
Raw Grapfruit (1) 78mg
Raw Broccoli 78mg
Orange (1 medium) 70mg
Kiwi (1 med) 64mg
Green Peas 60mg
Cantaloupe (1 Whole) 58mg
Cooked Cabbage 56mg
Raw Cauliflower 52mg
Green Beans 18mg
Baked Potato (1 Med) 17mg
Raw Tomato (1 Med) 17mg

As you can see, there are plenty of fruits and vegetables with Vitamin C, so getting enough as a vegan definitely shouldn’t be a struggle.

And hey, maybe next time you get a cold, you could try juicing a bell pepper, instead?
