Nope, maybe a nice Christmas present for or from someone? I'd like to try it though, have tried the gu ones but not sure if they have milk in them now.
Nuts are expensive. Macadamia nuts are my favourite.

Maybe aren't getting enough calories in yet?

Snack on nuts or bananas for a quick and easy calorie load up. Also they're portable!

Lentils are great for cheap protein, squish the cooked lentils into balls and substitute for meatballs in tomato sauce. Great as meatballs and pasta or a meatball sub sandwich.

Beans!
Beanit if you want a good meat substitute that is soy free .


Slow release grains with whatever you're eating.

Fats - avocados are popular for a reason. Seasme seeds on soups and salads, nuts etc all should help with the fats

Iron rich foods too, especially leading up to an the week of your period.

I'm sure others will have more (Better) advice too.

Good luck, remember don't get disheartened if you slip up and think you've failed.

Well done! Hope it's still going well.

You may feel tired if you're deficient in certain vitamins or minerals, such as vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron, magnesium, or potassium. May be worth getting a blood test to check.

You may want to consider taking a supplement if you're not already too.

I've been eating a plant based diet since 2016. I've recently been making these brownies every Saturday...so good! I make mine with Vitalite and Golden Syrup. Super easy to make and they come out perfectly every time. More of a cake texture than brownie but so delicious! I buy mine from Asda

Tried the Oupmh kebab meat yesterday and it was okay, but not the best. Vivera is better, in my opinion.

I've been looking for this for months! It was so good. Definitely not available in my local Asda anymore. And no decent alternatives are available there, either. Boo.

What do vegans/vegetarians have for their christmas dinner?

My brother-in-law is vegan and he is with us for Christmas normally. A nut roast for main, vegan roast potatoes (so I do them with just oil, no butter), veggie sausages. And then roast veggies and other stuff. We normally just have various chocolates for dessert, so we get him vegan ones.

That sounds lovely; I think I would prefer that even as a meat eater

I’ve not tried this yet. Doing it at the weekend. I’m not a fan of mushrooms which a lot of nut roasts have. This one looks lovely.

Quite a fan of the spinach bites, more potato than spinach and quite a bit of oil. But will stock up if they are ever on offer for less than £3

Yes, I stocked up on the Cauliflower and the Kale ones recently.

I have been trying these via Ocado. They also do a frozen mince which I haven’t tried.

The hot dogs taste authentic to me and are easy to heat up. Good with baked beans or chilli. I really like the schnitzels. I tried the burgers today with mustard in a pita bread and they were fine. Would probably order again.

I love the Quorn Southern Fried burgers and the Spicy version, see below.

Here are some more planty things.

My Mum makes me an AMAZING 'wellington' at Christmas. She uses ready made pastry sheets, then spreads over a mushroom duxelle, then tops this with mashed Linda McCartney sossies and then uses this layered pastry to wrap around a Linda McCartney Vegan 'Roast', a vegan protein meat replacement. It's bloody lovely!

Lucky me!

I am saving this and will be making it well before December! Thanks! Sounds so good.

At Christmas in our house it’s the Cranks nut roast with apple sauce instead of egg.

Has anyone seen the new things Aldi are bringing out? I’m off there tomorrow to try and get my hands on their new products! They all look amazing.

Omg! I was just coming here to rave about aldi's vegan range

Well priced, frozen and chilled options. Not had anything inedible yet. 5 stars.

Let us know what you get and what you think!

They even do vegan brioche buns.
