Vegan: Dairy Free? It aint for me!

I’m a big fan of cereal. I think its biggest appeal is the fact it’s an instant meal, but I love how it’s something you can eat at any time of the day. Given I’ve not been able to have milk this week; I was really starting to miss it. After being pleasantly surprised by the other vegan suitable dairy substitutes, I wasn’t at all reluctant to try soya milk.

After eagerly digging into my heaped bowl of Crunchy Nut, I was struck with severe disappointment when the spoon’s load hit my taste buds. I may as well have poured water over my cornflakes.  The taste didn’t even remotely resemble milk. And, if I’m not mistaken, it made my cereal much soggier much faster than usual!  To add severe insult to injury, I later realised (I know it should’ve been obvious!) that Crunchy Nut Cornflakes are covered in honey!
Hopefully next week I'll get my usual 'buzz'  from cereal, but for now, I'm 'bee'-ing extra cautious and avoiding it!

PS. Hope the honey jokes haven't driven you 'potty'!

(Ok, I'll admit that last one was laim!)
