Celebrating Spring Vegan Style!
I know it’s easy to procrastinate, but April is just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about your vegan Easter and Passover celebrations. 
We recently had a customer contact us saying that she and her family use their vegan Passover gathering to celebrate freedom for all people and also for all animals. I thought that was such a beautiful sentiment and such a great argument for celebrating vegan Passover and Easter too, that I wanted to share it. She inspired me, and I’d like to follow her example and use these springtime festivities to celebrate new life, compassion and freedom for all beings. Happy spring, and don’t forget to order your vegan Easter chocolates this week!

Easter and Springtime Giveaway!
Spring has sprung and we’re celebrating! Easter and Passover are in just two short weeks, and Allison’s birthday is coming up on March 25th.
Join the party! Post here on our blog telling us your favorite vegan party treat and one lucky chocolate lover will win a Springtime surprise!
Sip a Sweet Springtime Treat
Looking for a sweet treat that won’t expand your waistline? Believe it or not, iced tea is one of my favorite warm-weather treats. It’s cool, sweet and refreshing, and, if you use herbal tea and stevia, it’s not sugary or caffeinated. 
We have several delicious fair-trade teas and tisanes (herbal teas) here at Allison’s, but my favorite flavor right now is our Rooibos Chai. I brew it in the evenings in quart jars, put it in the fridge over night, add a splash of nut milk and a few drops of stevia and bring it to work with me. It’s spicy and refreshing to sip on all day, plus, it curbs my sweet tooth and helps me stay hydrated. I also love that my glass jars or stainless steel bottles are more sustainable than store-bought glass or plastic ones, and my homemade, fair-trade tea tastes better than store-bought, too!
Elegant New Look for Our Gift Baskets
You may have noticed that, along with our fabulous new website, our packaging is changing as well.

Also, we’re celebrating spring with our Easter and Springtime Gift Basket!
Easter is Just Around the Corner
Easter will be here before we know it, and there’s still plenty of time to order your vegan Easter treats. Although it often seems like a silly holiday with the pastel colors and bunnies with eggs, there are still fun ways to celebrate this holiday of springtime and new life. When I was a kid, my mom used to grow Easter baskets for my sister and I every year. She’d sprout wheat berries in soil-filled baskets and my sister and I would get to water our baskets every day. On Easter morning our lush baskets could be found hiding somewhere in the house with chocolate goodies hidden in the tall, thick grass, which, incidentally, was pretty tasty all by itself.
If growing your own Easter basket seems a little too involved, try our elegant Easter and Springtime Gift Basket complete with paper “grass” in any color you choose.
