Branded Vegan products, such as Earth Balance and Daiya don't seem to be available in the UK.
Have any of my fellow UK Kind Lifers found any of these products or alteratives as I am really strugging to expand on what I am eating?

Hi Nic,
I am in the same boat and have not found anything as good. I use a soya spread' by Pure but it is not the same. If you can get to a Wholefoods then stock up and even bring a cooler bag to take frozen foods home as they have some nice veg burgers etc. Online, I sometimes use Goodness Direct to get hold of stuff that I can't get in local supermarkets or health shops, and they have some non dairy cheeses but again, the choice is nothing like in the USA. They get the weather AND the good food!
Hi Happychick
I've used Pure spreads, I really don't like the taste. I suppose for baking they would be ok, but if I wanted it on toast...I generally just use vegan peanut butter.
Wholefoods is only really available online. I have used Goodness Direct and other suppliers, but the choice is so limited.
I need to move or write to these places, asking for more variety.
Are you following the Kind Diet?
I know what you mean, When in the US I loved earth balance. I am pretty much stuck with the pure spread. I live near a wholefoods and would be lost without it. I also use local health food shops, Holland and Barrett and another wholefood type shop near me. I can usually get all the "junky" vegan things like burgers and sasuages for the little vegan in my life too :) But the choice is just not t he same at all. ALthough we recently discovered the really nice Bessant and Drurys Coconut Ice cream Sooooo good. There is a constant fight in our house when I get some in for a treat.
