Vegan Recipe Wrap Up

10 of our most popular vegan recipes, packed with plants and full of flavour  

Choosing to add more plants to our diet is increasing in popularity, with some of the reasons including the health benefits, lower carbon footprint, and support for animal welfare.  

A plant-based diet focuses on foods that are obtained from plants, yet occasionally includes animal-derived foods like dairy and eggs. In contrast, a vegan lifestyle excludes animal products altogether, including their diet, what they wear and items they buy.  

Every November, World Vegan Month is celebrated worldwide as a time to shine a light on the vegan movement. 

So that everyone can reap the benefits of eating more plants, we’ve put together a list of our most popular vegan recipes. 

Plant-based snacks that have you saying WOW!
