More vegan food! Yummy!!!

Delivering healthful omega-3's to vegans and habitual snackers

As one of the few vegan and vegetarian sources for omega-3 fatty acid—the essential fatty acid with a slew of healthful benefits to its name—it's no wonder flax seed bears a "superfood" designation. But for all its known advantages, flax seed isn't exactly a common ingredient in everyday foods—at least not yet. From a meal replacement bar to a dairy alternative, here are three new ready-to-eat flax products that are pushing the trend.

PROBAR Superfruit Slam bars

Intended to satisfy the nutritional requirements of a single meal, these vegan whole food bars pack organic flax seeds in with a mix of other superfoods, including organic acai, mangosteen, camu camu and purple corn. The bars aren't baked, so they retain a moist and chewy texture that pairs well with the sweetness of the dried fruits, while the absence of preservatives means eating cleanly as you fuel up.

Sold at select grocers nationwide and online for $2.99 per bar

KIND Vanilla Blueberry Clusters With Flax Seeds

As the latest addition to KIND's Healthy Grains line, this whole grain granola is a healthy and delectable snack that bears the distinct flavor of blueberries, without being overly sweet. As a marquee ingredient, the granola's flax seeds provide 750 mg of omega-3 fatty acids while other whole grains like amaranth, quinoa, oats, millet and buckwheat make for clusters that are big enough to be enjoyed as bite-size pieces — to be enjoyed by the handful or the bowlful. Bags sell for about $5 at KIND's online shop, or click here for store locations

Good Karma Flax Milk

Adding to your grocer's expanding aisle of non-dairy products, Good Karma's flax milk is a low-calorie, non-GMO, soy-free alternative to the other dairy alternatives. Its amount of omega-3s alone —1200 mg per serving — is reason enough to start pouring it onto cereal, or into coffee and blended smoothies. Flavors include Original, Unsweetened, and Vanilla, all ranging from 25-60 calories per one-cup serving — much fewer than most milk-like products, yet the flax milk is surprisingly creamy. The slightly sweetened vanilla, our favorite, pairs nicely with coffee, without the need for additional sweetener. Good Karma is available on Amazon in packs of 12 ($28 per pack), and at natural grocers for $3.50-$4.50 per half gallon.

Slightly off topic

I can't help it but I think this is hella funny

 

asi.arrogant.abgewrackt und kein Ende

There is going to be a repress of the asi.arrogant.abgewrackt LP of germany's finest ABFUKK on Twisted Chords Records. If you've been cryin' because you haven't been buyin' here's your chance to stop the sob.

No cryin' here but I'll still be buyin'! Again. And again because there will be different versions available.

 

Down & Outs! Stream & order!!

Unfortunately though I can't find a link to purchase any vinyl. So I can't order. Major bummer! But I have faith in those lads. I don't think it's possible this band does not use the classic format for their classic tunes. The release of the LP version is probably right around the corner. I have to believe in that or else I don't know how to go on living. The songs you can stream on the Labels bandcamp are that good. Hit the picture and decide for yourself.

Bixby Bars

It seems there is not much going on lately. But maybe that's just because I tend to avoid checking for news while on this fucking 2 month work stretch away from home . I do so in order to not see all the events I'm missing out on but who am I kidding? The last couple of days I simply had no time and now that I do have some I'm back on the web browsing the shit out of it. So maybe there will be a few more updates coming. Just don't expect me to join the hype about those REV25 Shows. While I don't think Reunions are bad in general it certainly feels like they are taking it a step too far. Also I have to say that those VIP Tickets are a load of crap. VIP's at a HC show? Going Backstage to meet the Bands? Give me a break!!! Rumor even has it that at least the Cali. edition was sponsored by Toyota. If that's true then maybe those who did the Revelation can suck it Bootleg were not that wrong after all. Who knows?

 

But let's get to the actual topic of the post:

The Bixby Bars!

What can I write about it? It's vegan and only reading about it makes me drool! Also the whole thing is so eco-friendly it hurts. Wrapper and all. But I damn well like that kind of pain ;)

If you want to know more about the different flavors it comes in, the whole concept and where to get some here's the link to my source of information.

Please can someone retail that stuff in Germany? But not just in Berlin like with the Daiya Cheese because I live way over on the other side of the G. And a question to finish my bit of rambling: Why are all the vegan candybars available over here so crappy? i cannot remember a good one I bought in all the places I've been to in Europe. Except for on my last holidaytrip to Brighton. My wife bought some snacks for the ride home and although she did not like the raw candy bars she bought by mistake and I wasn't too delighted at first I have to admit I'd like one of those now. There were three different flavors brought to my attention but the only one I remember is the Cashew bar which was made only from cashews (who would have guessed) and dates. Nothing else! Awesome. I think one had Almonds and anotherone definitely had some chocolate.

But I wanted to stop rambling. So here are pictures of all the flavors that the Bixby Bar comes in and who knows maybe I'll find something nice tonight in Budapest. Cross your fingers for me. Can't wait to get out of this shithole and get a tasty vegan dinner.



CAN YOU BLAME ME FOR DROOLING?

YO! Put it on and crank it up!

Been waiting on that compilation for a long time. Already kinda forgot about it in the meanwhile thinking it was already out but hey... now it is. Release date was June 8th.
It's chockfull of good Bands. Best compilation I've heard in a while and that's not just because the mighty Hangin' Tough are on there ;) Next to them Better Times, Survival and Giant stick out from all the solid songs on that Tape... Yes! Tape!! Classic Format!!! Go listen and then buy something. Although I don't see the Tape in the store. Maybe you wanna shoot Crackin' Up Tapes a message to inquire about a real life copy of the comp. 15 hours ago they still had some according to their facebook profile.
Get on it!!

time is running...

it won't be that long until i have a lot of work and therefore won't be home that much so there are a hell of a lot of things to take care of. meaning I don't have the time for a proper update here but still wanted to let you know some news in the DOWN & OUTS department. This is stolen from their fb-page:


Pleased to announce that our third album, 'Forgotten Streets' will be released by Boss Tuneage on CD in the UK/Europe and by Waterslide in Japan. All in Vinyl will be doing the LP, along with Germany's Yo-Yo records. Think we're looking at July 23rd. We might even play a few gigs too. Giz a shout if there's owt good going on.

After that, there will be a split 7" on All in Vinyl, with an as yet to be confirmed band. We still have a few songs left over from the album sessions too if anyone wants tracks for a 7"/splt/comp etc.



SO STOKED!!!
