High 5 energy gel orange

One of my big goals for 2024 is to run a half marathon and a full marathon. I did complete a half marathon in 2023, but the one I am planning for 2024 will be my first chipped and timed race, so I am equal parts very nervous for it and also very excited to … Continue reading High 5 energy gel orange

Burger King bean burger

This new addition for Veganuary is technically a 'return for Veganuary' in that Burger King have brought back their bean burger for their 2024 offering. This was a product they offered as part of their main menu but they discontinued it in the last few years, no doubt to make way for their other plant … Continue reading Burger King bean burger

PSA: The Steak Bake Returns!

Ok so technically this is not 'new' for Veganuary because it was actually a regular on the Greggs meal a few years ago. But for some reason, Greggs did not keep this and decided to remove it. Along with a lot of their regular staples for vegans, including the ham and cheese baguette. Annoyingly, they … Continue reading PSA: The Steak Bake Returns!

Krispy Kreme Chocolate Cookie Crunch 

Now while 2024 will be a big running year for me (I have some long distance races planned so training for those starts very soon!), I simply cannot pass up a new doughnut. Especially when it involves oreo cookie too... Enter one of the newest doughnuts on offer from Krispy Kreme. The Chocolate Cookie Crunch, … Continue reading Krispy Kreme Chocolate Cookie Crunch

Squeaky Beam kick of tikka chicken pieces

The past few months I have been trying to focus more on my health and fitness. I'm running more and actually getting some decent numbers when it comes to my weight lifting. But a massive part of the fitness journey comes from the diet. You can run ultramarathons every weekend but if you eat like … Continue reading Squeaky Beam kick of tikka chicken pieces

Krispy Kreme vegan original glaze

So until very recently (i.e the beginning of this year) you could only order the vegan original glazed doughnuts online and could only order them as a 12 pack. Now...as much as I could, would and wanted to order a 12 pack of vegan doughnuts to try them, I could not justify that. I am … Continue reading Krispy Kreme vegan original glaze

Honest Burgers vegan teriyaki burger

I hate to admit it but this year it seems the Veganuary offerings are lacking. I haven't actually seen many new options being advertised (at least not near where I live) and the few offers I have seen have been shockingly bad. Shout out in particular to Mcdonald's, who think that they can add a … Continue reading Honest Burgers vegan teriyaki burger

How can I be an activist?

This is a question that I have struggled with a lot, because it's so vast. For starters, what is an activist and how does it differ from being an advocate? According to the dictionary, an activist is 'a person who campaigns to bring about political or social change'. An advocate is defined as 'a person … Continue reading How can I be an activist?

What is veganism?

The Vegan Society states that veganism is: "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of … Continue reading What is veganism?
