Is Mindful Chef Vegan?
Mindful Chef is not fully vegan, but every week you can choose clearly labelled vegan recipes from their menu. All meals are gluten free and focused on balanced nutrition, making their vegan recipe boxes a healthy and convenient option. If you’re vegan and looking at recipe box services, it can be hard to know which…

Why Is Vegan Chocolate So Expensive?
Vegan chocolate is often more expensive because it’s made in smaller batches, uses higher-quality plant-based ingredients, and carries certifications like vegan or Fairtrade. These factors raise production costs compared to mass-produced dairy chocolate. Unlike dairy chocolate, which benefits from huge economies of scale, vegan chocolate is still a growing market. This means brands often pay…

Best Vegan Meal Deals in the UK (2025)
If there’s one thing I’ll always rate about the UK, it’s the humble meal deal. You just can’t beat the combo of a sandwich, crisps (I go for Disco salt & vinegar), and a drink (orange juice, every time). My go-to is the Tesco Plant Chef Vegan Breakfast Sandwich, but if I’m near a Greggs,…

Best Vegan Desserts in the UK (2025)
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just want something sweet that isn’t a piece of fruit or a date ball pretending to be chocolate. I’m talking about real desserts, creamy, chocolatey, fruity, cakey goodness that just happens to be vegan. Luckily, there are some brilliant options now in UK supermarkets. Whether you’re after…

Best Vegan Breakfast Options in the UK (2025)
Let’s be honest, breakfast is the one meal vegans aren’t always expected to nail. People think you’re out here nibbling fruit and sipping oat milk like you don’t miss a proper fry-up. But in the UK, you can absolutely have a full-blown breakfast: sausages, hash browns, black pudding, chocolatey cereal, flaky pastries. All 100% plant-based.…

Best Accidentally Vegan Foods in the UK (2025)
One of my favourite things about going vegan, apart from the usual “animals not dying” thing, was discovering just how many foods I didn’t have to give up. I don’t mean plant-based versions. I mean the stuff that’s just… accidentally vegan. Made without animal products, not for any ethical reason, just because it doesn’t need…

Best Vegan Ready Meals in the UK (2025)
Let’s get one thing clear: being vegan doesn’t mean you miss out on convenience. Whether you’re travelling, busy, or just want to pop something in the oven and chill, the UK has some brilliant vegan ready meals that are full of flavour, satisfying, and a far cry from the bland offerings of the past. I’ve…

Best Vegan BBQ Foods in the UK (2025)
Nothing says summer like the smell of a barbecue; but if you’re vegan, it can still be awkward. You either get a suspicious slice of chargrilled pepper or a well-meant but slightly tragic bean burger from the freezer aisle. And let’s not even talk about the shared tongs. The good news? Things have changed. Whether…

Best Vegan Sweets in the UK (2025)
When it comes to sweets, being vegan isn’t always straightforward. You’d think sugar and fruit flavours would be safe, but so many classic sweets are off-limits. The main culprit? Gelatine. That’s the stuff made by boiling animal bones, skin, and tendons. It’s what gives jelly sweets their bounce, but it’s definitely not plant-based. Even sweets…
