Do you know anyone or you yourself has participated in Veganuary this year?
2020 has seen a real drive and push to encourage people to adopt a more plant based lifestyle and give up meat, fish and dairy products.
Personally, I tried the challenge and for the most part I have kept up. I have massively reduced my meat intake, I don’t really do dairy (cause I am lactose intolerant) and I am not too bothered about fish.
All the high street food places have made such an effort for Veganuary and for vegans who actually adopt this plant based lifestyle – it is wonderful to see. Most restaurants you go to have an entire vegan menu if not a decent selection of vegan options so it is good. It is not every day avo on toast you know or a tofu bowl. Sometimes it’s a jackfruit wrap or a meatless spaghetti and meatballs.
I’ve tried out a fair few vegan options the high street food chains have released, and there is some really good options (NSG)
Gregg’s
- Vegan friendly 60p donut (A glazed donut) – Rating 4 of 5 broccoli trees
- Price point is great
- Texture is lovely
- The price is really great LOL
- It isn’t too sweet and taste very similar to a Krispy Kreme
- Vegan steak bake £1.55 (A pastry filled with Quorn, onions in a rich gravy)- Rating 3 of 5 broccoli trees
- Price is reasonable but a little cheeky compared to the other vegan options
- Texture is a little soft
- Had a rich savoury which was nice
- Didn’t have a real flavour and average so wouldn’t rush to buy it again
KFC
- Vegan Burger £3.99 – (A Quorn fillet seasoned with 11 herbs and spices in bun with vegan mayo) – Rating 4.2 of 5 broccoli trees
- Price point is good
- Texture was on point, tasted like Quorn but not a horrible meat substitute
- The flavour was banging, it really tasted like southern fried chicken
- Was really good and I enjoyed it as a meat eater and would buy it again
Subway
- Meatless Meatball Mariana sandwich – (A plant based non-meatballs with mariana sauce topped with vegan cheese) – Rating 4.1 broccoli trees
- Unable to find price but probably £3.99 so a good price
- So excited that they have vegan cheese and I can yes to ‘cheese and toasted’ #WIN
- Flavour on point and the texture wasn’t mush it was a solid meatless meatball
- Very good plant based alternative
I am still yet to try
- Café Nero’s vegan cheesecake
- Costa raspberry croissant
- Starbucks – Vegan mac and cheese
- Yo Sushi’s vegan menu
Have you tried any vegan dishes? What did you think?
Peace until next time,
