Openly Vegan Products

• (1) ALLEMANSRÄTTEN Vegetable Meatballs - You can check out our review of these bad boys

• (2) LÖRDAGSGODIS Vegan Sweet Jellies - Geletin free gummies are incredibly hard to find, so these treasures are vegan gold! They come in raspberry, cranberry and forest fruit variations

Hidden Gems

• (3) POTATISCHIPS GRÄDDFIL & LÖK Sour cream and onion potato chips - A bloody mouthful but vegan sour cream?!

• (4) MUNSBIT Oat smoothie - These come in an apple & pear or blackcurrant blueberry flavour

• (5) SJÖRAPPORT Seaweed Pearls - So this stuff is basically vegan caviar. I repeat, you may now purchase vegan caviar at your local IKEA

• (6) KAFFEREP Biscuits - *only the almond, natural raspberry filling, ginger thins, ginger thins with almonds, and oat biscuits are vegan*

• (7) RÖSTI Potato fritters - Pretty much a fancier version of hashbrowns. And gluten free too!

Basics/Staples

• (8) KNÄCKEBRÖD RÅG Rye Crispbread - Quite plain, I must admit, but perfection when topped some avo, vegan cheese, or even your new seaweed pearls
