🙌🙌🙌 I LOVE this comment!! Firstly: I 1000% agree with the your point on ‘processed food’, and adding to it - I always think if vegan food is going to compete with non-vegan food and win more people over then surely it has to compete on a level playing field! - e.g. offering the whole range of food including burgers, cakes, pies, etc. That doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy all the amazing fruits, veg, whole grains etc as well! And I stopped in my tracks on the Clive’s cauli cheese, and that sounds very interesting I will have to try myself! And lastly I totally agree with you re high protein chocolate mousse, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the next alpro product!

And PS - don’t worry I love all the troll comments - as long as they subscribe! They always make me laugh and great to practice on them so I have my explanations ready for people in real life 🤣🤣

You’re going to love my next upload which is very related to this - coming on Wednesday!! 👀 👀

I’m really glad to hear this!! So this is a very good point but I think it all comes down to budget and frame of reference: Compared to a £15 pizza at a restaurant or takeout it’s a real bargain! Compared to a Chicago Town bbq jackfruit (90 grams more pizza - £3.75 with nectar) it’s a high price imo. Splitting it is such a good idea as makes it half the price and adds in a delicious salad 😁

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I had to be honest haha

Hi there, good questioning!! But from my research before: in the UK, the FSA states: 'We recognise that some people will not want to buy or eat GM foods however carefully they have been assessed to ensure their safety. In the UK, foods must say on their label if they: contain or consist of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) contain ingredients produced from GMOs' So from this I would assume that they don't contain GMOs - I didn't actually check them all, but I haven't seen it on any products I've eaten in the UK!

Thank you for the comment! It becomes a bit hard to show ingredients as makes it a bit clunky for videoing! BUT they are all really easy to find on Sainsburys website, even Aldi now have breakdowns of their products online. But I will try and include more ingredients shots in future. Even if it is quick you can then pause on it.

A lot of us are vegan for the animals not to be clean

It really is incredible! Where abouts do you live, as I'm sure there are stores out there if you can track them down!

@YourVeganFoodExplorer i moved to norway after living in London most of my life ..vegan food is a little sparce.

So this is the beauty of vegan food in 2025 - don’t want oil? Look for the organic milks, for example the oatly organic is Water, Oats* 10%, Sea Salt - the choice is yours! 👏

Hey Peter! Thanks for the comment. You won’t believe this but I heard that some people (actually one in particular) are so thick they think that vegan shopping vlogs are instructional videos 😱😱😉😉

@YourVeganFoodExplorer oh a vlog. Thats cute.

It’s funny you say this as I’ve been thinking something similar today! I shop at Sainsburys a lot but haven’t gone actively through all their vegan sections, I normally just go and get what I know. And today I was really shocked by just how good quality and extensive it is!!! Aldi and Lidl get big news about their Veganuary ranges, and Sainsburys doesn’t have as many new launches…but that’s because they have such a big selection already!! Haha!

Thanks to yours and another comment I now realise this 🤣🤣 it makes much more sense!! Haha

@YourVeganFoodExplorer Haha, bless you! You've inspired me to go to Sainsburys anyway, been vegan since 1982 & this is definitely an easier time to be vegan than it was then.

🤣🤣🤣 in my experience I’ve certainly had some ups and downs with different Plant Pioneer items - this sounds like a definite down hahaha

In my opinion I honestly think the vegan hellmann’s tastes better than the non-vegan ‘Real’ version!! I love the little glass jar version too. And I think you’re right about the Galaxy, I’ve never seen it before but looks amazing 🙌🙌

Excellent comment my fine sir!

HOLY MOLY I think I’ve lost a few brain cells recently: this makes a lot more sense now!! Instead of buying 3x vegan roast chickens you can buy 1x and 2x other things you actually want 🤣 that’s a good deal. Thank you for bringing some sanity to the channel!

I was gonna say this too 😂😜😘​@@YourVeganFoodExplorer

There REALLY are!! Which are your favourites?? I always laugh when my friends say ‘how can chocolate be vegan’ - well chocolate IS vegan it’s only the milk added that makes it not vegan lol!

I love the ButterM!k 'Snickers' and 'Mars' knock-offs, and good to see Sainsbury's now have them!

No the vegan food explorer has NOT! - what am I missing out on?? I have a Wetherspoons very close to me and haven’t been since December so very interested 😁😁

Hahahaha LOVE this comment!! We have an odd box delivery and went to every other week - so we now get the world’s amount of fruit lol

So I do totally agree with you, BUT wanted to be as kind as possible……until the egg muffin came out!! 🤣

So I do think Aldi are getting better at this! Their ‘core range’ is growing slowly and whilst every year a lot of the Veganuary’s bits disappear the core range counties to grow. And we’ll have to see in February but I think it’s coming to a tipping point of being able to do a full vegan shop there now - I have an exciting video to test that!!

I totally agree - they actually shocked me how good they looked!! 😋😋

They tasted even better than they looked!!!!

Hahaha I think you’re right, a little sneeze and the whole bag went in 🤣🤣

In my opinion Aldi win with more exciting new products and a wider range of staple vegan items, BUT the prices of Lidl are just so so insanely low you can't ignore it.

Yes, I like both, just hope they don't disappear after #Veganuary 😢​@@YourVeganFoodExplorer

Thanks for the sub - and don't worry LOTS of vegan content incoming here!!!

It's a good point, my only thought is that the business models are so so different. If price is your absolute metric then Aldi and Lidl WIPE THE FLOOR with any other supermarket. But in my opinion, the shopping experiences are totally different, I go to Sainsburys and Waitrose regularly by my house and Waitrose is like an upmarket department store with so many amazing new brands, shelf displays etc. Whereas I often feel like I've been in a washing machine when I come out of Aldi/Lidl from being bustled around lol So I don't know if the other supermarkets are actually making more profits, as their costs are probably much higher. Bottom line: having Aldi and Lidl in the market is amazing as it has made the other supermarkets terrified of them and work SO hard on also providing discounts.

Me too, BUT I believe it's very hard to make money from online shopping without big investment, so I'd prefer they just focussed on doing what they do best: cheap and quality food!

Me neither! It's pretty cool to see them adapt their brand for Lidl market

A treat for doing so well!!?? 😉

Ohhhh that sounds sooo good - vegan cream great pairing!

Me too!!! But this is a good start and much better than nothing!! Hoping they continue the most successful items - we will see 🔭🔭

Another awesome comment!!! Ok sounds like I need to pick up the pretzel bar it looked so good! And yes agreed on the choco drink, fingers crossed that’s one that stays as is long life so can be stacked high!

Thank you!! LOTS of vegan goodies 😋😋😋

Ooo, Yes!!!!

Ok this is the second recommendation for this bar - it sounds amazing!!!

Really!!!?? I’ve got them in the fridge so will be one of my next reviews - now I’m VERY interested lol what didn’t you like?

@@YourVeganFoodExplorer I did not like the slimy texture and after one bite chucked them in the bin

Oh.My.Gosh!!! This looks AMAZING! I am going to Lisbon in a couple of weeks and it’s on the list 😋😋😋 thank you

I totally agree it’s like stepping in a vegan price Time Machine - back about 10 years ago!

GREAT comment!!!

Hey mate thanks for reaching out. I think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick. Nobody thinks vegan junk food is healthy, is it healthier than the non-vegan equivalent? In my opinion yes, mainly because processed meat is carcinogenic to humans and red meat ‘probably carcinogenic’ (both by world health organisation) which let’s face it is most of junk food. But the main point is if you can eat something that is the same bad for you, and actually maybe better for you whilst no animal dies then surely it’s better. The problem is most people don’t have the ability to critically think so I guess it’s hard.

Lmao this comment has made my day thank you! Wtf is a ‘complete food that is incomplete’ do you mean protein maybe? Why are you watching vegan videos? I wish I had as much free time as you.

Fingers crossed it’s coming!!! 🙌
