A large part of any diet is finding those staples that can be used in a number of different recipes that still taste good without costing too much money. Life can get busy, and sometimes the last thing you want to do when you come home is to drain your tofu and marinate your tempeh, … Continue reading Vivera plant based mince

This isn’t bacon lardons
I am trying to cook some new recipes and have been experimenting with a few I have found online. I saw that THIS has released quite a few new products recently, and I had a craving for a carbonara and thought that these bacon lardons would be the perfect addition. The packet comes as two … Continue reading This isn’t bacon lardons
This isn’t chicken tenders
Sometimes all you need after a busy day or a long week is a Picky Tea. This might be a purely British meal, where you basically just grab a lot of food from the freezer and that's your dinner. It usually contains things like chicken nuggets, maybe some spring rolls, a sandwich of left over … Continue reading This isn’t chicken tenders
Lidl Vemondo no chicken drumsticks
One of my favourite comfort foods were the drumsticks from Vivera, however I am very much convinced that these have been discontinued because I have not seen them in my shops for about a year at this point. They were just perfect for those days when I still wanted a high protein option but didn't … Continue reading Lidl Vemondo no chicken drumsticks
Lidl Vemondo fish free fingers
Lidl really are giving this Veganuary their all! I've been trying to check in on my local shop at least twice a week this month, as I keep seeing adverts for all their new products. My local shop tends to be quite barren with a really small vegan section, but each time I have gone … Continue reading Lidl Vemondo fish free fingers
Squeaky Bean crispy bacon style strips
Squeaky Bean is quite a staple in my household. Their ready to eat products and sandwich pieces are usually included in our weekly shop as they are super convenient and also super good for my macros. That being said, I don't think they bring out new products all too often so the food fatigue can … Continue reading Squeaky Bean crispy bacon style strips
Squeaky Bean salmon slices
The Squeaky Bean products are a staple in my household, especially when it comes to lunch supplies now my husband and I are travelling into the office more often. They have quite an impressive range of products already, so I was very excited when they added the salmon, as I feel they already offer a … Continue reading Squeaky Bean salmon slices
Juicy Marbles thick cut filet
I finally bit the bullet and decided to try the Juicy Marbles filet that I have seen people praising online. It is supposedly the best meat alternative on the market at the moment, and when I saw the price of £9, I assumed that it absolutely must be the best for that price. I held … Continue reading Juicy Marbles thick cut filet
Meat Free Fridge Raiders
Finding easy snack options that are also high in protein can be quite difficult as a vegan, so finding any option is always a plus even if the food itself is not ideal. That's what these Fridge Raider packets were for me - they tasted fine, but weren't the greatest texture, but were fairly high … Continue reading Meat Free Fridge Raiders
Beyond Meals spaghetti bolognese
Beyond Meat is probably one of the best meat alternatives on the market right now. The texture, appearance and taste is very close to meat - to the point where I do sometimes panic that I have accidentally picked up a meat product. So if you want a meat alternative that very accurately replicates actual … Continue reading Beyond Meals spaghetti bolognese
