Being Vegan in Mumbai - Food Haul and Vegan Ice Cream
So I went for weekly grocery shopping the other day with the thought of buying vegan ice cream on my mind in Hypercity, Mumbai. There was this facebook post regarding launch of dairy free ice-creams in this supermarket close to my home in Mumbai. I couldn't resist to try and i found 7 flavours.
The ice-creams are by White Cub, to know their availability in Mumbai check out their website http://www.whitecub.in/ The flavours are mango, strawberry, butter scotch, chocolate, blueberry and vanilla. There are two flavours for chocolate(chocolate lovers enjoy).
I went for butter scotch. It claims to be cholesterol, transfat and gluten free. It is little expensive than normal ice-cream brands but if you are vegan and you know that choices are limited here, give yourself a treat!
It has coconut taste and so smooth and delicious. I finished that within two days :)
I bought some products as part of my weekly grocery shopping. Let me show you what i bought.
It's been long time since i bought tofu. Tofu is high in protein and since it contains soy I limit eating soy products to 2 times a week.
I have this with soy milk once a while as it contains added sugar. I am trying other healthy options with no added sugar.
Most of Hide n Seek biscuits are vegan but make sure to check the ingredients. I love Bourbon biscuits as i have sweet tooth.
I am yet to try this brown rice by the supermarket. I eat India Gate Brown rice. Brown rice are complex carbs which aids in managing weight. I prefer brown rice over white rice for nutritional content.
I am gonna use this cinnamon powder in desserts which many sweet recipes calls for.
I usually have oats for breakfast. I have tried Saffola's, Quaker and Kelloggs ready to eat masala oats and i found this new flavour. I am excited to try this flavour for breakfast. Please check the ingredients before buying if you are a vegan. I saw the other flavour had milk solids.
These are vermicelli or sevaiya which can be used in kheer or in upma and semolina or rawa. I have made delicious mango sheera recipe by vegan richa using semolina.
I bought unsweetened soya milk to have it with cereal and also for coffee. I buy smaller packs for longer use. I will buy organic jam in my next shopping . I opted for Mango jam here. Tomato puree tastes great in curries.
