Hey everyone, welcome back to another video.
My name is Jasmine and today I'm taking you to our local Costco and I'm going to be showing
you all of the fun vegan products that they have available.
We did this last week at Target and you seemed to love the video so we're going to do it
again at Costco and yeah, let's just head in.
Costco has a wide variety of produce options available.
We're not going to go into too much detail about the produce just because I feel like
it's very self-explanatory but if we see anything special we'll definitely point it out.
Our focus today is going to be specialty fun products that I guess are exciting in
terms of vegan products that are available.
So Costco actually has an apple pie that is accidentally vegan.
We can't find it at our store but I just wanted to mention it just in case you're able to
find it at a local store near you.
They also have a ton of different bread options as well in the bakery section.
Just make sure you double check the ingredients.
The bread that we saw looked fine but sometimes they have L-cysteine in it.
That is usually not vegan.
They have wild brand sauerkraut which is really good and this is a jumbo size so if you're
a kraut lover I would recommend this.
And then they also have this three pack of dill roast sausages so it comes with smoked
apple, sage, Italian eggplant, and Mexican chipotle in this jumbo size.
Pre-cooked beets from Love Beets if you are a beet lover.
They have a jumbo pack of tofu, always essential, and this comes with four I think?
Yeah, this is four packs.
Oh, four packs.
And it's level four firm.
They have this healthy noodle thing.
Yeah, it's a noodle pack.
Pack of six and it's vegan.
I've never seen this before.
This sounds good.
We got some jumbo hummus, some salsa, they also have some smashed avocado, mango salsa
or mango and peach salsa, sorry, and then bitchin' sauce.
If you haven't tried bitchin' sauce, this stuff is, as its name says, bitchin'.
It is really good.
We're actually going to pick up the tub today.
We also found this avocado salsa, which I've never seen before.
Apparently it's the best, so we gotta get it.
We also found this sun-dried tomato pesto with basil and it's actually vegan.
There's no dairy in it.
This stuff is good.
I'm gonna get this.
We have this organic chopped vegetable and barley soup.
Heading to the frozen section, we have these chipotle black bean burgers from Donley Farms
and they say vegan on them and they're also gluten-free.
I did not know they had this.
They have this jumbo pack of chow cheese, that is so cool.
Farm-rich cauliflower bites.
It says vegan on the package and it has a sweet sesame sauce and it looks really good.
Next we have these vegetable yakisoba noodles, Japanese-style stir-fry noodles with crisp
vegetables and a savory sauce and it comes with six of them.
Pretty good.
They have frozen fruit, great for smoothies, great for oatmeal, great for a ton of different
things.
Organic riced cauliflower stir-fry, so it's cauliflower with peas, corn, bell pepper and
a sesame ginger sauce.
Standard, but there are a ton of different varieties of frozen vegetables.
There's frozen avocado, riced cauliflower.
They have these Tattooed Chef organic acai bowls, vegan, gluten-free.
It comes with granola packets.
I really want to get this, but I don't think it's gonna fit in our freezer.
They have an 8-pack of the Beyond Burgers for $14.99, which is a freaking steal because
usually a 2-pack at the normal grocery store is like $6 or $7.
So definitely check this out.
They also have more of the Don Lee's Farm brand.
This is their superfood veggie burger.
They have some pre-made green juices from Suja.
They also have some Naked juices as well.
And these cinnamon rolls, these are actually accidentally vegan, I believe.
They're not marked vegan, but they are made with vegan ingredients and they're really
good.
In the dairy section, they have vegan beverage options, so they have some hum kombucha, they
have Brew Doctor kombucha, Silk Almond Milk, and they also have a Kirkland kombucha, which
I've never seen before, but yeah, Costco has their own kombucha now.
They have a bunch of different juice options, lemonade, apple juice, orange juice, guava
nectar, passion fruit, ooh!
We found these Heavenly Hunks oatmeal dark chocolate cookies.
We haven't tried these before, I've never even heard of this before, but if you have
tried this, let us know in the comments down below what you think.
They have this organic chocolate banana almond milk, or it says non-dairy beverage because
I'm pretty sure they're not allowed to say milk, but these looked really cool.
We haven't tried these before.
Again, if you've tried these, leave a comment down below.
Costco has a wide variety of shelf-stable non-dairy milks.
So first we found this oat milk, which was really cool because oat milk in bulk is always
a good thing, and then they had regular soy milk, vanilla soy milk, they had almond milk,
rice milk, coconut milk, they even have macadamia nut milk, so there's something for everyone
here, and it made me happy to see so much variety in the store.
These Biscoff cookies are actually vegan, and then they also have these bin bin crackers.
My nickname is Min Min, so we thought it was the perfect fit.
Next these nut butter smoothies in these small packs that are great for kids.
These rice rolls, and then we're moving on to these accidentally vegan animal crackers,
which is awesome.
Kashi chocolate superloafs, which I've actually never seen before, but they look really good.
Mixed nut butter, this has almond, cashew, chia, pumpkin, and flax.
This pumpkin seed and flax granola is so good, I highly recommend it, we always get this.
Then they have this cacao powder, which was only $10 for this big bag, and this almond
flour was only $11.99, which is a great deal when it comes to almond flour because sometimes
they can be pretty pricey.
We found some pre-made meals, so they have this organic Indian chana masala, which looks
good, and then Vietnamese pho, which I believe is an instant noodle, sesame teriyaki brown
rice, this Hawaiian bowl from Loma Linda Foods.
We have this Tainan style noodle, which is also an instant noodle, I believe.
These rayo sauces are so good, I highly recommend them.
And then we found these chia seeds and hemp hearts, which are cool that they're available
at Costco, bake at home sourdough bread, kale crisps, we got this jumbo bag of hippies,
which are like vegan white cheddar puffs, kind of like vegan Cheetos, they're so good.
Peanut butter pretzels, always a good idea.
Crispy salted chickpeas if you're looking for a savory snack.
These sweet potato crackers from RW Garcia, these almond flour crackers are actually from
Simple Mills, I've heard they're really good, I haven't tried them yet though.
Like I said before, a lot of breads are vegan, just make sure you double check the ingredients
just in case, but this Dave's Killer Bread brand is vegan.
Mushroom chips, which I've never heard of or seen before, but they look interesting.
They also had a ton of plant-based protein options as well from Organe.
So we have two flavor options here, and then they also have the simple one,
which I've never seen before, but it looked pretty cool.
Lots of nut options, they have salted and unsalted, which is always appreciated.
They even have these single serving packets.
These almond nuggets with dark chocolate looked bomb.
Then there are a ton of different bar options.
So Z-Bars, there are different kinds of Clif Bars, they have Builder Bars.
These Pro Meal Bars, which I haven't tried, but one of our friends loves and eats all the time.
Fruit and Nut Trail Mix.
There is actually a really large variety of dried fruits there.
So they have longans, they have blueberries, goji berries, deglutin or dates.
Figs, which I've tried these before and they're very tasty.
Some dried apricots, tangerine wedges.
There is even dried durian, which I was so surprised to see at a place like Costco.
I made sure to pick up a bag to try it, so you'll see a taste test later.
Then we have some of these prunes, chili, mangoes, which are tasty.
I've had these before.
We also saw these Organe plant-based shakes.
These are just pre-made shakes.
These smokehouse and wasabi soy sauce nuts are actually vegan.
And then these keto clusters are as well.
And then we found a bunch of different snacks that are good for kids
and also for anybody who wants a snack.
So there's these fig bar options.
They have these unreal coconut minis, which are vegan.
They have fruit leathers and a bunch of different varieties.
And these gummies.
They also have these pure organic fruit bars.
And then we found these guilt-free chocolates from Jojo's, which I've tried and they are bomb.
Next, we headed to the food court.
We had to go to the food court because it's essential at Costco.
And they actually used to have an al pastor bowl and an acai bowl.
But when we went, we realized they had removed it from the menu.
We were really sad about that.
But luckily, we did do a taste test of the acai bowl previously in a video.
So I will link that down below for you to check out.
And we are going to order a pizza.
We just wanted to do a quick little grocery haul
because we picked up some of the things that we showed you in the video.
And yeah, I just wanted to show you some things.
Things look good.
That we personally were drawn to.
We were really hungry in there too.
Bad move.
And we were, I think we were in there for two hours.
It was a little chaotic.
So first up, we got this liquid IV hydration multiplier.
I don't know if we actually filmed this in the video.
But it is just like electrolytes.
You put it in your water and you drink it.
Next, I got a big pack of seaweed.
I just, I love these seaweed snacks.
And they have the giant pack at Costco.
We got some Rao's marinara sauce.
I never know how to pronounce it.
And then my mom was like, it's right here.
And then we got this melon.
It is a golden Hami, I believe.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
What kind of melon is it?
Golden Hami.
It's a golden one.
It's like, it's just, it's more so from what I remember.
I haven't had one of these in a while.
But I think it's closer to honeydew than cantaloupe.
Not a big cantaloupe guy.
We got some freeze-dried durian.
Scared about that.
I'm excited.
Snap peas, really good for snacking.
Cauliflower bites.
I feel like we're already getting cauliflower bites in these food haul videos.
We have the pro bar meal on the go.
Plant-based, 100% plant-based, 100% delicious.
That looks good.
Bake at home sourdough.
We've gotten these before in there.
Some figs.
Figs.
Acai bowls, which really need to go in the freezer.
And we got the pumpkin seed and flax granola.
We got raspberries, didn't we?
Oh, they're in the fridge already, sorry.
We got raspberries.
And plums.
Yeah, we didn't, I mean...
Not a ton of stuff.
Not a huge haul, but we weren't planning on getting that much.
Again, we went hungry and it was a bad idea.
We got one more item that we wanted to share with you.
The food court at Costco.
So they have in the past, I believe, year or two.
Hold on, I'm not there yet.
They had added some vegan options.
So they added an al pastor bowl and then an acai bowl.
But when we went today, neither of those were available.
They weren't even an option on the menu or like on the kiosk.
Like when you try to check out yourself, it wouldn't even give you the option.
They don't exist anymore.
I mean, all Costco's are different in terms of like what they offer.
So maybe some other Costco's have it.
Let us know if yours does.
We do have a taste test.
I'll link it down below where we did try them when they were available by us.
But maybe they didn't do well and they stopped selling them.
But we were able to get a pizza.
We double checked the crust is vegan.
I'll put the ingredients on the screen.
And in order to get it vegan, you literally get sauce.
So we're going to top it ourselves here.
Yeah, I'll show you what we do.
Yeah, they don't have any vegetables.
They only had cheese and pepperoni.
Little sad, but it was only 10 bucks.
So that's a big pizza.
The crust looks good.
So we're going to dress it up and I'll show you what we do.
I kind of want to have some liquidized beans.
I'm down, actually.
It's good for performance, heat and sun.
Travel and wellness.
I can't open it.
Can you?
Hopefully it's not gross.
How much water are we supposed to pour it into?
Wait, how much water does it say?
Oh, this is salty.
16 ounces, that's why.
I feel my hydration just multiplying right now.
I'm going to try the durian.
I have to smell it, babe.
I'm scared.
The liquid IV, we watered it down and now it tastes normal.
It is not that bad.
We got the passion fruit flavor.
Okay.
Good?
Yeah.
I'll try it.
I'm scared.
You're not going to like it.
Excuse me.
Okay.
It's like good and bad.
It's like soggy and tasty.
And sweet.
It's like sweet and then onion-y.
It's like caramelized onions.
Yeah.
You're going to get bad breath.
Eat this at home.
Don't eat this when you're going.
I guess you're probably not going on a date anytime soon.
Here's our pizza.
So the base and the sauce was from Costco
and then we added some spinach on top,
Beyond sausage that Chris sauteed,
and some random vegan cheese that we had in the fridge.
I think it's Daiya cheddar.
And then the chow slices.
And chow slices.
And then we also have fresh basil on top.
Doesn't look the best.
It's not the best looking vegan pizza.
It could definitely look better.
Yeah, but we're going to try it.
The crust looks good.
I mean.
It smells good too.
Oh, it's really hot.
It's fluffy.
Oh yeah, it looks really fluffy.
The crust is Jasmine's favorite.
The best.
Then the crust get out of here.
Looks good.
Cheers.
Good.
I like it.
I mean, if we were to get this straight out of Costco and eat it,
probably wouldn't be the tastiest thing in the world with the sauce.
Still probably wouldn't be terrible though.
Yeah, the crust is a really good quality.
Or a good tasting crust, I should say.
We pop this into the oven to melt the cheese
and just warm everything up again.
So it did get a little crispy, which I like.
So yeah, if you're ever at Costco and you want to get a pizza,
grab this.
You can grab chow slices at Costco.
Or if you have vegan cheese at home, whatever other toppings you have,
you can just pop it back into the oven.
We did 400.
400 for like seven minutes.
Yeah, just kind of retoast it and melt the cheese and enjoy.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this video.
And I hope that you saw some cool new things at Costco today.
If there is anything that your Costco has that our Costco didn't have,
leave it in the comments down below.
One thing I was disappointed that we couldn't find are those alpha chicken patties.
I think they're in Southern California.
They launched here in the Pacific Northwest, but we couldn't find them.
Costco is a little weird with how they bring things in and out.
But yeah, let us know.
I'm sure there are cool things at your local Costco that we don't have by us.
So share it.
Let us know down below.
And thanks again for watching.
We'll see you soon.
Peace.
Bye.
