mmmmmm Daiya cheese! and Sweet & Sara marshmallows! both impossible to find in Quebec… or the make your own marshmallow kit, I feel like smores need to be included in my first ever camping trip…
There are many products I’d love to buy from the Viva Granola store, but if I had to choose just one, right now I’d go for the book 500 Vegan Recipes (by Celine Steen and Joni Marie Newman). I’ve been testing recipes for their upcoming books and I’m really enjoying them, so I need to add this one to my bookshelves!
I have tweeted about the giveaway: http://twitter.com/kimianak/status/24352655506

the Aromatherapy Mist – Cinnamon & Ylang Ylang by Aura cacia, the lemon tea tree shampoo for oily hair by Desert Essence, and Ricemilk Choco Bar with Dark Truffle Center or the Sjaak’s raspberry chocolate bites (depends on the math of how much value is left.. u do the math please… lol.. i’ve always failed at math in school :P)
I’d love to have the Softcover Journals by This Is It! Creations (if they’re in stock at a later date!), if not, some Daiya cheese would be great!
I am an expat in the land of meat & potatoes… Germany! I love following your blog and get jealous at your finds in the bigger cities here in Germany. I already have my family smuggling me field roast and vital wheat gluten when they visit, so I’d love the luxury of being able to actually shop at an online- worldwide vegan store!
I would love to try some Daiya Cheese and some of the Gardein products. Maybe some new cookbooks from Isa/ Terry or Brendan too…
Thanks for the oportunity!
I subscribed to your RSS too!
Oh, I am so excited right now – so rare for a company like this to ship worldwide! I have a sweet tooth so I’d love to order the Sjaak dark chocolate with caramel – can’t believe that’s vegan!
What a great webshop! I’d love to try one of the cheeses they sell, either the Italian style cheese or the creamcheese. Haven’t found a good vegan cheese so far…
Also “liked” the Facebook post! :)

i would love to try the organic maple syrup nuts, tropical fruit nut granola, dandie’s air puffed marshmallows, raw organic agave nectar and ume plum vinegar mmmmm :)

I’ve never tried Daiya and would love to try it on a pizza to see if it’s as amazing as people say!
Marshmallows – my daughter’s favorite!
Hey guys! :) I would like to purchase the tofu press – because even though it seems a big gimmicky, it would be mighty useful in the kitchen!
I friended Viva Granola on facebook!
I would love to win! I would buy Daiya cheese so I could make some tasty vegan pizza. I also would love to get some vegan beauty products….lots of options!!
Friends on Facebook with Vegan Backpacker.
I’ve ordered from Viva Granola and they’re absolutely lovely! We’re so lucky to have them in Quebec!
After hearing and reading so much about vegan marshmallows, I’d very much like to try Dandies.

Oooh, that website looks awesome. If I had to choose something right this instant, I would choose a Crazy Rumours Lip Balm, because my lips are needing some moisture :-)
I also just now joined the Viva Granola page on FB!
I love Viva Granola! It’s my favourite site to order from for vegan stuff, but money has been tight lately so I haven’t made an order in a few months. I would definitely stock up on the household “essentials” – dandie’s marshmallows, tartex spread, some daiya cheese and a couple of go max go candy bars :) The ESSENTIALS :)

Ciao!
Last but not least, I would defintely get a Go Max Go Mahalo bar, some Dandies marshmallows, and the Penotti “Nutella” spread which looks amazing!!! Love the blog-have you been in Nice and I’ve missed it? If not I’d love to know what’s vegan in Provence :)
Oh and I am now friends with Viva Granola on facebook as well!
Cheers!
I would buy a case of mahalo bars! I LOVE THEM!!
Yum! Viva Granola look like they have great stuff–I just friended them on Facebook. If I had to pick right now, I’d definitely go for that vegan sweetened condensed milk and make some brigadeiros. And I didn’t even know Field Roast had that many products…I want to try them all!
And I just liked the Vegan Backpacker Facebook post as well.
Lots of products interest me, of course. It’s hard to know where to begin. Would start with some vegan cheese such as Daiya or Cheezly, and Primal Sticks. Maybe some sweetened condensed milk as well.
I would try the tea tree oil facial cleansing pads. and daiya. and everything else!
I am a friend of viva granola on facebook

Vegan donuts and cookies
Thanks for turning me on to the Viva Granola Website. I look forward to shopping there. I’m most excited about the Soymilke Soy Condensed Milk and the vegan marshmallow kit. What can I say…I’m a sucker for Vegan Desserts :-D
I’m already friends with the Vegan Backpacker, I sent a friend request to Viva Granola, I tweeted, I subscribed to the Blog and RSS feed and I look forward to shopping at Viva Granola online. Good luck with the contest everyone!
I would love to get a Field Roast product! I’ve heard such good things about them, and would love to have a meat alternative that our family actually enjoys.
I am a fan of the Vegan Backpacker Facebook page and liked the giveaway post.
I would love to be able to buy Earth Balance – here in the Netherlands it’s not available; Daiya cheese is on my list too.
So many amazing products! But, since I have to pick JUST ONE, I pick:
Born to Die, Large Tote

Done! :)
“Tweet about the giveaway and mention @veganbackpacker and @VivaGVeganStore”
Done, too!
I’ve placed an order with Viva Granola before and am so absolutely impressed by their customer service and product line. I’ve got a ton of stuff in my cart preparing for my next order, but the one thing I’m super excited to try is Butler Soy Curls! I think they will be a great inclusion to a number of recipes I hope to try out, especially sweet and sour soy curls!
I am dying to order some Daiya and finally try it!
I got the marshmallows for camping last year and they were amazing.
I also (1) joined the Viva Granola Facebook group and (2) liked the Vegan backpacker page.
Condensed soymilk for me please. :)
I’m definitely getting the vegan condensed milk from Viva Granola. *smacks lips* http://vivagranolaveganstore.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=661

I’ve been searching for a good vegan shirt so I would probably get, “My Body is Not a Graveyard” Women’s Long Sleeve Hooded tee, I pretty much adore it. Or the bamboo Vegan pendant. Something I can wear to show how proud I am to be vegan! (= But then the Marshmellow kit is also very tempting…
I did all of the five steps above to increase my chances!!
I’d love to buy Sweet & Sara’s marshmallows and smores from Viva Granola:) Yum
I’m an Australian currently living in far Northern China, nothing vegan here! All the vegetarian meals have egg in them, & everything is cooked with meat so it’s not really even vegetarian. I’ve been eating a lot of peanut butter sandwiches, haha! I’m here for another 10 months so I would order a lot of Gardein meat, especially the BBQ Skewers. Well, I actually need everything from this website, from Daiya cheese to cosmetics & toothpaste, but my first choice would be Gardein BBQ Skewers.
Thanks! :)
Vegan Bamboo Tile Pendant by This Is It! Creations Crazy Rumors Fresh Squeezed Lip Balm, The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook by Jo Stepaniak, or Vegan Sour Berry Bears by Surf Sweets are all products I’d like to purchase. One day, one day. Until then, winning a gift certificate would be nice. Viva is awesome and even better, Canadian! And pretty local too.
~Midnite
Holy jeez, there’s so much! I’d probably go for an awesome vegan cookbook. I’ve been staring at Viva Vegan for far too long.
I would buy the Go Max Go Jokerz bar! They are soooo good and I still can’t get them where I live!
Enter me please! If I win, I’d choose EcoTools Bamboo Powder Brush .
