Plant-based Angel Food

New Zealand’s leading plant-based food brand, Angel Food, has expanded its range to include Dairy-Free Sour Cream. This tasty, creamy and ‘dollop-able’ alternative offers the same texture as traditional sour cream but is free from gluten, nuts, soy, and dairy. It’s suitable for allergy sufferers and those following plant-based diets, including vegans.

According to Alice Shopland, the Founder of Angel Food, creating a plant-based sour cream that was thick, velvety, and provided a clean and creamy mouthfeel was a challenging process.

However, after numerous iterations and utilising the latest technologies, the company was able to develop an innovative product that boasts the best texture among all plant-based sour creams in the market, both locally and internationally. People who have tried the product have been amazed by its flavour and texture, solidifying its position as an exceptional sour cream alternative.

Dairy-Free Sour Cream is an incredibly versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide range of recipes or as a delectable topping. Whether dolloped onto Mexican dishes, added to hot bowls of chilli or soup, used as a dip for chips or veggies, incorporated into sauces for a creamy touch, or mixed into salad dressings, the possibilities are endless.

Since 2006, Alice and the Angel Food team have been dedicated to making plant-based food more mainstream. Their range of delectable vegan foods, which closely resemble their dairy-based counterparts, caters to various diets, including vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian. With these delicious options, Angel Food aims to make it easier for everyone to choose plant-based meals more frequently, promoting sustainable eating habits.

You’ll definitely want to try these two yummy vegan recipes using Angel Food’s delicious dairy-free cheeses  – Cheesy Spinach Filo Pastries and this really easy Beetroot Soup recipe.

Oil to Foam Total Cleanser by Dermalogica

Introducing an innovative oil-to-foam cleanser that delivers a transformative cleansing experience for impeccably clean and healthy-looking skin.

This unique cleanser serves as both a make-up remover and cleanser, simplifying your skincare routine. The golden gel-oil formulation is enriched with Sea Buckthorn Oil, effectively dissolving layers of make-up, sebum, and sunscreen as you massage it onto your skin. As water is added, the gel-oil magically transforms into a luxurious cloud-like foam, effortlessly rinsing away impurities and any remaining debris. The inclusion of a plant-derived prebiotic ensures that your skin is left feeling soft and smooth.

To use the cleanser, begin by lightly dampening your face. Gently massage the gel-oil over your face and eyes, allowing it to dissolve surface oil and dirt. As you wet your hands, continue massaging to create a luxurious foam, effectively removing make-up, sebum, and sunscreen. Rinse off with warm water to reveal skin that feels incredibly clean and smooth.

Dee: “I’m pleased to say that now there’s no need to use different cleansers to remove all the makeup from your face. With one wash, the oil to foam cleanser removes makeup, debris and pollutants but it doesn’t leave your skin feeling stripped. This cleanser also removes my mascara, so no need to use specific eye makeup remover products.”
