I used to buy this concentrate often as it saved me from paying $5 for a chai tea latte at Starbucks. However, I now prefer Oregon Chai Concentrate as it has less black pepper and is a little sweeter.
This is a great option if you would like to save some money by making your own lattes at home, but I have noticed that the price has gone up quite a bit, I used to be able to get this on sale for $5 or so.

Tetley Chai Tea

I bought this a long time ago when Tetley tea was on sale and recently pulled it out of my cup board to try. I have been drinking it every morning and it is a new favourite for me!
It is not as strong as TAZO, but I love that it is not as black pepper-heavy. The only downside I have to Starbucks Chai Tea Lattes is that the concentrate is too peppery.
I am running out of this tea and will definitely be looking for it to go on sale again so that I can stock up.

SO NICE BARISTA BLEND SOY MILK

I am trying to go gluten-free and dairy-free, so the first step was to find a dairy-free alternative to add to my coffee and tea. I enjoy soy milk in general and have been trying many different brands and types to find the one that I like the most.
Ingredient-wise this is not as pure as my go-to soy milk, but I have tried it in my coffee and it adds a great creaminess to it. My next step is to try frothing it in my Keurig frother for a chai tea latte.

Natur-a Organic Unsweetened Soy Beverage
I love this soy milk! I discovered it about 6 years ago when I was trying to go dairy-free and it is still my go-to. I prefer the unsweetened dairy alternatives as I find they are usually too sweet for me. I used to buy this by the case at... +
I love this soy milk! I discovered it about 6 years ago when I was trying to go dairy-free and it is still my go-to. I prefer the unsweetened dairy alternatives as I find they are usually too sweet for me.
I used to buy this by the case at Loblaws and it ended up costing about $1.25 a carton. It is a great deal! The only downside I find to soy milk is that you have to use it within 7 days of opening, which I sometimes find difficult as I mainly just use it in my coffee.

NESCAFÉ® Sweet & Creamy Mocha Mix

I received this as a sample and was looking forward to trying it as I LOVE mochas. If you have never had one, it is a combination of coffee and chocolate (two of my favourite things!!).
I was disappointed with this, the coffee tasted bitter and acidic and the chocolate was not very strong. I would not buy this.
A better mocha IMO is to add a TBSP of instant coffee to a package of hot chocolate and top with hot water - it is pretty good!

I received a sample of this when I recently visited the Lindt store and didn't think I would like it at all. I thanked the staff member and threw it in my purse thinking I would try it later on and probably not like it.
I was really pleasantly surprised when I first bit into the chocolate. I did not think that gingerbread and chocolate would go well together at all, but they were amazing! There was a gentle spiciness from the ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg and it was just enough to remind me that this was a holiday chocolate, without overpowering the creamy milk chocolate it was in.

I have been searching for a good vegan protein powder to replace my regular whey protein powder that I already love. I have tried quite a few different Vega proteins and was not crazy about the taste or texture, so I decided to try a hemp-based protein.
I really wanted to like this as I love having smoothies in the morning, but it had a strange after taste and a bit of a gritty texture. I added soy milk and banana to my smoothie, which helped to improve the taste, but unfortunately I could not finish my smoothie.

I received a sample of these in my Life Little Box and though I don't take Vitamin D regularly, I am open to finding great new products to take that will benefit my overall health. The gummies are very good, but I question the company's decision to use lemon flavour as a lot of people are not huge fans of lemon.
After searching for this product online, I think they are expensive and probably would not buy them unless they go on sale.

I received a sample of these in my Life Little Box. Though I don't have kids, I still tried these to see what the taste and texture were like. They are sugar coated gummies, and though they were good, I though they were a little too sweet. I think they would be better without the sugar coating.
After searching for this product online, I think they are expensive and probably would not buy them unless they go on sale. These could be a good option for picky kids who will not take their vitamin C in other ways.

I received a sample of these in my Life Little Box. I don't have kids, but decided to try the gummies myself to try the taste and texture. I only tried one sample, so I can't necessarily say how effective they were, but the gummies tasted great and had an amazing texture.
After searching for this product online, I think they are expensive and probably would not buy them unless they go on sale. This would be a great option for parents who have kids who won't take vitamins in capsules or drops, but I would lock them away so the kids don't find them and binge on them.
