Last summer I was thrilled that Millions of Milkshakes had a sugar-licious vegan milkshake, and then I was super bummed a few months later when they stopped carrying it. However, I found out today that they're creating a new vegan shake!
According to their Twitter account: "Join PETA and Pamela Anderson as she creates the First ALL-VEGAN Shake at Millions of Milkshakes on Friday April 9th at 3pm"
And Pamela stated on their Facebook account:
"I did want to take a few minutes to prove that one can create a truly delicious treat without having to rely on any animal products in the process. It is going to be a Vegan Vanilla Coconut Pineapple shake! I've always liked to shake things up so I'm thrilled to create the first vegan item on the menu – and at the same time I hope to get to meet some fans and to thank everyone for their support...”
I won't be in town to witness it, but if you are it'd be a fun event to attend. When I return I'll be sure to check out the new milkshake soon and report back.

Looking for yummy vegan treats for yourself or the neighbors this Halloween? Here are some brands to try out:
Had an amazing time at Valentino Chocolatier Cafe in The OC (Tustin). Not only were the vegan Belgium chocolates, hot chocolate, and crepes divine, but the atmosphere was very European and the owner is almost sweeter than the desserts!
I found organic hazelnut flavored Agave Nectar by Madhava at the CoOp and had to try it. I tried it in tea and I didn't love it, but it's great in coffee. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but everyonce in a while it's a nice treat and I love hazelnut flavor. You can also use it on ice cream, pancakes, italian soda, or whatever you want hazelnut on. It has the perfect amount of flavor and just the right amount of sweet.

Went to the new Trader Joes in Westwood and it is very nice - big, clean, and open (and free, easy parking). I found a few new vegan treats there, and the first that I tried was Organic Brown Rice Marshmallow Treats. Unfortunately, I didn't think they were that tasty. They were ok, but a little bland and the texture is more crunchy than chewy or creamy. But if you miss Rice Krispie Treats and want a vegan alternative, these are decent and inexpensive (apparently Liz of Yo Soy! loves them!).
In light of all the drama surrounding Dee's Donuts in Los Angeles, I thought it was good timing to celebrate two wonderful donuts shops with excellent vegan options: Mighty O' in Seattle and Ronald's in Las Vegas.
I have enjoyed MetroMint waters for a while, but today I discovered my new favorite flavor: Chocolatemint. It's water flavored with mint, and in this case, cocoa essence. They are not sweeteners or preservatives, just a refreshing flavor. Plus, it's a great alternative to eating chocolate when you crave it!
I bought some great tea today from The Republic of Tea called Rose Petal Tea. It's a limited edition, so get it while you can. I got it from Pharmaca and it was half off.
I can't believe I haven't written about Have'A Corn Chips! These are the best chips I've ever had. I recently learned how to curb my addiction, but it's been hard. There was a period of time where I simply had to have them all the time. And it's always been impossible to avoid eating the entire bag in one sitting. Usually I'll finish them by the time I arrive home in the car from the market. Luckily they're slightly expensive, considering the amount inside. One bag will run you about $2 for a pretty small portion. M Cafe sells them for $3.25! I wonder if they're macrobiotic...
