Tips for a Vibrant Vegan summer!
Posted on the 15th August 2024
Temperatures are rising and there’s a bank holiday weekend right around the corner, which can mean only one thing: good food! Thanks to an abundance of plant-based options now available, there’s an alfresco option for every tastebud and every budget.
Summer staple: The BBQ
Being the only vegan at a BBQ can be tricky, so here are some tips on navigating the outdoor fun:
- Go prepared with a few basics: Vegan burger buns, for example, and of course your meat-free burgers and sausages.
- Take a dish! Some of our favourites include this Baked Teriyaki Tofu Salad, Pea and Mint Quiche, and these Tangy Vegan Koftas (pictured below). You also can’t go wrong with a side of Macaroni “Cheese”.
- Lean on ‘accidentally’ vegan items that everyone will know and love: Doritos, Walkers and Kettle crisps all have ‘accidentally’ vegan flavours, and there’s a whole range of vegan beers, ciders and wines that are suitable for an afternoon tipple!
- Everyone loves the person who remembers dessert so give this stunning Vegan Meringue and Pavlova recipe a try.
Feeling the heat: Vegan ice cream
There are heaps of dairy-free ice creams on the market these days, and we even have some recipes of our own…
- Our Strawberry Sorbet recipe is super simple and only uses 5 ingredients
- Our Boozy Vegan Ice-Cream recipe is a little more complex, but definitely worth it!
If you’re shopping on a budget, then look out for supermarket own-brand ranges, including Asda’s OMV!, Tesco Plant Chef, ALDI’s Plant Menu, M&S Plant Kitchen and Sainsbury’s Plant Pioneers, all of whom offer ice cream or other frozen treats.
Not a fan of ice cream? How about some fresh fruit and soya cream, fruit kebabs, coulis or even this Strawberry Trifle recipe.
