This month, supermarkets, eateries, and everything in-between have released an amazing array of new vegan products in homage to Veganuary – here’s a handful of our favourites!

These delicious little cookies have already won an award, from OliveMagazine, for being the best Vegan Cookie. Packed with flavour and delightfully chewy, these are indeed quite possibly the best vegan cookies about!

Krispy Kreme Launches 3 Vegan Doughnuts
Vegans are now spoilt for choice when it comes to doughnuts! Last year, Krispy Kreme released its first vegan glazed doughnut, and now it has launched three more amazing flavours: Fudge Brownie Bliss, Caramel Choc Delight and Apple Crumble.
Everything in moderation…
It is worth noting that a well-planned vegan diet is one of the healthiest ways of eating and is suitable for all ages. A balanced vegan diet should consist mostly of wholefoods – such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, pulses, and beans – with small amounts of more indulgent items, being consumed occasionally.

Whilst pre-packaged meat-alternatives, ready meals and the like are delicious, you may want to use this month as an opportunity to try your hand at cooking plant-based meals from scratch. This can be a lot cheaper than shop-bought versions. Animal Aid has a huge number of delicious vegan recipes for you to try – complete with step-by-step instructions, and instructional videos.
