I’ve spent the last week in Norway visiting family. Like I mentioned in this vlog, my mom’s side of the family is Norwegian and we come to Oslo to see them as often as we can.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been here so I thought I’d share some highlights from the trip. Norway is a beautiful country and I’m happy to report that it’s become a very vegan-friendly city in the last few years #GoTeamVeagn 🙌😊
We ventured to Sognsvann Lake for an afternoon and it was one of the highlights of my week. It’s a 3.3 km path around the lake with lots of picnic benches and tables to stop and enjoy the view along the way. The air was fresh and clean, and so rejuvenating 🌲
#nofilter! The view was stunning, and walking along the lake was welcomed bit of calm after many days of traveling and sightseeing. 10/10 recommend checking out Sognsvann Lake if the weather is nice.
Oslo has some great vegan restaurants. We love Nordvegan (above) and tried Cultivate Foods in Grünerløkka for first time on this trip. It was good! I’d definitely go back. I also recommend trying the “accidentally vegan” boller from Godt Brød because it’s an all-time favorite of mine!
I also found Vegan Kit Kats at Yummy Heaven. It’s a popular candy store with lots of vegan options and the vegan-friendly pick-and-mix candy is conveniently marked with a check mark.
The upstairs area has all kinds of fun chips, chocolate bars, and gummies. I got a few of these vegan Kit Kat bars for my sister, as well as the Norwegian version known as KEX.
The highlight of my trip though was visiting with my family. We spent most of our time simply sitting, talking, sipping coffee, and eating lots and lots of Norwegian strawberries 🥰
My mom’s Aunt and Uncle’s home is one of my favorite places in the world. It’s full of Norwegian treasures like these porcelain coffee cups.
There’s a new Munch Museum that we didn’t have time to visit this trip but it’s on my list for next time. The next stop is Iceland where we will be visiting my mom’s sister and relatives. More on that in the next newsletter.
Hope you enjoyed this peek into my week in Oslo. I vlogged while I was there and shared more delicious vegan food in this video!
