A Vegan + Gluten-Free S’mores Kit! Summer is here, and that means outdoor gatherings and less cooking in the kitchen. For some, this includes camping (which you can count me out of) and the seasonal treat, s’mores (yes, please).

First showcased at Natural Products Expo West 2025 (where I somehow completely missed their booth), Eat Just is finally rolling out their newest innovation, JUST Meat Chicken, in 3 flavors: Original, Buffalo, and Sesame Ginger. Before we dive into the review, let’s recap- Eat Just is a food technology company focused on making healthier, safer, and more sustainable food. They source their ingredients from plants and are best known for their JUST Egg product developed using mung beans, as it is the first time the ingredient was regulated for use as a specific protein isolate.
In April 2025, JELL-O unveiled its dairy-free creation- JELL-O Oat Milk Pudding in chocolate, to pay “homage to the first-ever pudding flavor JELL-O released”. Aside from being non-dairy, the pudding is also vegan and gluten-free, making JELL-O’s classic dessert cup available to even more consumers.
The first Chili’s opened in Texas in 1975 as a popular burger restaurant. It began to expand, later becoming “Chili’s Bar & Grill”, and by the 90s, had emerged as an iconic national chain. Recently, sales have increased specifically due to the virality of their value menu items, including the ‘Triple Dipper’ dish, and their ‘3 For Me’ deal. The ‘3 For Me’ deal is a selection of Chili’s menu items for just $10.99, including a main, side, and starter. Is there a Vegan Chili’s ‘3 For Me’ option? Yes- but with menu modifications.
Impossible Foods launched their first product in 2010 (the first iteration of their burger). They’ve been adding plant-based versions of classics to their line-up, including chicken nuggets and hot dogs. The newest fan-favorite to hit retailers is the Impossible Corn Dogs. Despite launching in 2024, many have been unable to find the corn dogs in retailers. I saw them IRL at Expo West this year, and am happy to report they are officially available in my area.
I am blown away by this product, not only because it tastes good, but because its ease of use makes vegan baking accessible to all!
