Food Haul/Vegan Meal Ideas 🌿🍔 ft. Tesco, Sainsbury's, Holland & Barrett

[@courtneyr2822]

I'm on my way to veganism I have 1 type of cheese and fish to cut out. I watch a lot of these videos but most of them are American people with American products so I really appreciate videos like these with Uk products 😋 💕 love the video!

[@citrinecrystal4234]

I literally have none of this where I live but I watched the entire thing and I'm so pumped to eat things???

[@Diva380]

Check Amazon. They happen to have a lot of vegan food alternatives (& might ship to wherever you live). :)

[@jessmullens5191]

Citrine Crystal Same, vegan food alternatives are hard to find in Australian supermarkets! Mainstream U.K. Supermarkets seem to have so much variety!

[@allthingshumor2079]

lol i have these things like everyday

[@user-co6uh4lt6e]

You both are killing it, such a nice couple!

[@PoppyElizabethB]

something i do with the pasta 'n' sauces that makes them taste even better is instead of using 350ml of water i use 250 of water and 100 of soya milk, makes the sauce so much creamier and better

[@nataloe1337]

Omg I love breakfast! I often eat oatmeal with different fruits, nuts, berries and plant based milk. its so easy and cheap and easy to change toppings if you get bored :) Sometimes i est fruitsallad with nuts, any plant milk and they cereals :) Also very easy to make and easy to vary just like the oatmeal :) Great video! I always look forward to when you upload! :) :) :)

[@KieraRose]

You know what, I love oatmeal but I always ruin it. How do you cook it?! I feel like it should be so easy but I manage to make it this terrible consistency every time 😭

[@nataloe1337]

Kiera Rose I always make 1dl of oatmeal and then 2,5dl of water with alittle salt. If you have it on the stove for longer it will be more firm so i guess its the time on the stove that mostly decide the consistency. You can also use plantmilk instead of water but i perfer to add it later when its done. So i have like a firm blob of oatmeal, lol, and then add plankmilk over it. I add alot of fruis for some sweetness but you can add a little sugar aswell while its cooking to make it more sweet. Cinnamon is also great for oatmeal! Yum!

[@SuzaWuza]

Ive had oatmeal every day for five years xD I find it easiest to cook it very slowly till you get used to it, adding half milk half water

[@KieraRose]

Thank you! 😊

[@TheLucyAndLouLouShow]

i used to ruin it too until i started only using the microwave - i know some vegans get het up about using a microwave , but if it gives you bomb porridge , i'm gonna do it ;) i do around 70 - 80g of porridge and around 200 - 250ml of mylk , but i don't measure so i'm not 100% sure. i warm it up for 3 minutes with a banana mixed in , take it out and add grapes + a plum and maybe a bit more mylk , and then cook for another 3 minutes - but my microwave is only 120 watt ;)

[@princesscharlott1983]

Fab video x shows that there is already such a great choice of "accidental" vegan foods out there - ready made, fast food, ingredients.. Tescos actually has a document/PDF online of vegan foods in their stores and it's enlightening. That, along with the vegan society list of accidental vegan foods, show even more choice! No need to go without really!

[@amabelvitai1153]

My meals are so repetitive, so this was really useful. Thanks ❤

[@RolliBeauty]

I got some vegan books off amazon and they have helped so much! Like Thug Kitchen (I think thats what its called aha) P.S. I run a beauty channel if you guys check it out that would be fab!

[@amabelvitai1153]

Rolli Beauty Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out ❤

[@RolliBeauty]

Amabel Vitai that's okay! I tried really hard to get loads of good recipes so everyone who kept saying what do you even eat could be blown away 😂😂😂

[@ofunnemordi]

Rolli Beauty I subscribed 😉

[@Rose_Macabre]

For breakfast, I like peanut butter on (untoasted) seed/wholewheat bread, topped with apples (and/or bananas), cinnamon, dried cranberries, almonds, and a drizzle of agave or berry or maple syprup. It tastes similar to French toast, only without the egg-milk batter. Alternatively, I have all of that, but with hot oats (with soya milk) instead of bread. Sooo much yummm !!

[@ashleemarie8506]

October Rose this sounds so good I'm going to make this tomorrow thank you 😩

[@aspen5456]

ooo, trying that tomorrow morning!

[@Hhhhhhhhhhhh115]

I used to live in England so seeing all the Sainsbury's items made me feel really nostalgic haha, loved the chill vibe of this video :)

[@honours-p1651]

banana and oat pancakes: (one serving) one cup of oats, one banana, three quarter cup of water, teaspoon of vanilla extract, teaspoon of cinnamon, teaspoon of baking powder . blend it altogether for the batter. Serve with fruit and syrup. Delicious xxx

[@yikesmattiee]

Onie s-p I'll try this!

[@catisuppose]

Breakfast! Black coffee 2-3 bananas 4-6 dates (soaked in the coffee and pitted) blended with cashew milk and a little maple syrup 😘😘😘 it's a iced banana latte xxx

[@taylordossetor3608]

*why do companies feel the need to put avocados in plastic whyyyy*

[@Ellieb94]

Loved seeing the vegan options available in the UK...quite different than here in the US! Wish I could try them!!

[@VeganVoyager]

Really enjoyed this! :) 💚 The quorn fishless fingers are unreal!

[@blisles7626]

I don't go for them cos I didn't like fish particularly but I love the not chicken nuggets. Also have just tonight had the hoisin duck which was amazing.

[@beckyg4814]

Mould on the bread at 0:51! I hope you noticed it before you ate it!

[@lauradore_a]

Becky G omg that's my worst nightmare. I ate a piece of mouldy bread recently and I was gagging all day cause it actually tasted damp! Happens to the best of us I feel but ew!

[@Jessa8891]

Becky G I went back after seeing this and saw it too! I always examine my bread before I eat it.

[@earisu]

I don't see it, I must be blind. O.o

[@earisu]

Oh nevermind, it was on the bacon bread not the sausage! Eek! It happens though.

[@emcabl333]

I've accidentally ate mouldy bread before and nothing happened, and I'm sure she didn't care or notice either

[@dollypfan994]

Love your meal ideas/ cooking videos! On KZbin I find that vegan meal ideas are either really plain or really complicated, so it's so good to find simple tasty meals! 😊

[@RockyApplebee]

This is an incredible video! So helpful for new vegans but also people who have been vegan a while. It shows that veganisim doesn't mean restriction or saying goodbye to foods you love if you don't want to. I'll be sharing this with fellow vegans and veggies! Thank you! x

[@fluffylovers]

It always puts a smile on my face when I get the notification that you uploaded a new video. thank you kiera

[@SA-ke8qc]

Fry onion garlic and mushrooms in olive oil add stock cube and alpro single cream. let it reduce.... add cooked pasta... BOOM! amazinggggg

[@brittanystanton3705]

so I'm not veggie or vegan (hoping to be once I move out) but everytime I buy food I try to get veggie or vegan options because it's my money going towards it so this helps a lot and I've just done a 100% vegetarian (90% vegan if not more) food shop based on this video and I'm so happy

[@_anna_5842]

I want what you and Alex have! Your relationship seem so lovely x Love the haul btw, it was really helpful. I just moved to the UK to study, so great tips!

[@catvonbran]

Waw England has so many more vegan options that here in the Netherlands. Here its gotten better over time but I wonder why isnt not so common. A supermarket manager once told me that demand isnt as high here which I find hard to believe as Ive met quite a few people who struggle finding yummy vegan foods. Well guess I will have to wait it out :)

[@Jasminiumusic]

yeah I also live in NL and the vegan part is so small..

[@honeybeebumbleful]

This is only very recently thing there has been a huge influx of vegan options from vegetarian companies such as Quorn and Linda Mcartney in the last year. With supermarkets improving and extending there free from ranges. Which can only show that the demand is there!

[@RolliBeauty]

I feel like its more of a recent thing here, so just wait it out and eventually you will see more options coming your way :) P.S. I run a beauty channel if you guys check it out that would be fab!

[@mediocreli]

Oh my gosh I completely agree. I used to live in Britain and since moving out to the Netherlands, whilst there's a lot more vegetarian/vegan fake meat options, there's basically nothing else. Saying that, I live waay up North and it seems down South there's more choice with specialist supermarkets.

[@Bruhhfsfs]

•Twinkle~Lady• hey I live in NL also and there are some good options here still. Recommend the vegan cheese from Jumbo! The rest I mostly get from AH, I eat a lot of accidentally vegan foods. For specialty foods I go to organic supermarkets like salty organic or ecoplaza.

[@meg6431]

I'm so glad you picked supermarkets that are accessible, I can actually go out and find these things! Yay!

[@arachnidangelina]

i'd love to eat my first vegan meal made by you guys!! love when you guys show all this vegan food, really makes me want to try some! ❤

[@iris8009]

I love how you are always so calm, nice to listen. ❤️

[@MadaladaMunden]

Yes Alex! Fizzy sweets are life! I really like these vegan food videos, especially with Alex in. I've also noticed just how much your hair has grown since you cut it short, it's insane! Your hair is so pretty!

[@elenicakes]

This is my comfort video

[@JessyJBob]

Will you be doing a review video of the tesco cheeses compared to the sainsburys ones? Also the jus rol pastry is vegan, so you could make your own jam tarts with that :)

[@aiwxo]

JessyJBob I was so excited when I found that out!

[@kristendunn8330]

Love you guys!! I really liked how involved Alex was in this one, he's so cool & collected, he looks like he's been a professional KZbinr for years :)

[@lucyharcourt5121]

This video is so useful! As someone who has just turned vegan in the UK, it's so great to know how many options there are, thank you guys

[@jessmullens5191]

I'm going vegan now, and this was really helpful and inspiring! I like how you have 'normal' food- sweets, microwaveable cheat meals etc. A lot of vegan videos I've been watching are all super fresh and healthy, which is great, but not always practical or easy for people. This bridges that gap!

[@NaideiLS]

I LOVED this video!! Very helpful! Some of these products I already knew they existed but others were a complete and pleasant surprise. And YES, the new frozen vegan section at Tescos!!! I got so excited when I saw it for the first time! :D

[@MercuryCalling]

It's so exciting the Tesco and Sainsbury's free-from section is rocking it! Thanks for sharing these. :D

[@rayvenner3340]

For breakfast there are always smoothie and smoothie bowels, and then oatmeal there are pre-portioned cups that you just add hot water and any extra toppings of fruit.

[@ItsSqueaker]

I love the Quorn chicken nuggets!!! and just Quorn in general.

[@CharlotteWilkins]

I have been vegan for 7 years now and this video has given me so many ideas of new things to cook! In particular cannot wait to try Lemon Chicken! xxx

[@julietsteed7858]

Love that Alex is more confident in videos now, it's nice to hear reviews from two different points of view :D

[@lydiasharman7198]

You're videos make me feel so happy and homely and like I want to make food!

[@munchkinmarcy2722]

So happy to see a smile on both of your faces after such hard times. Keep on keeping on. xoxo

[@lizcarr6329]

For easy vegan breakfasts I usually have oatmeal with lots of fruit and toppings or banana ice cream with toppings or a smoothie and toast or pancakes!

[@ROBYNninjaBANANA]

A sprinkle of nutritional yeast on the mushroom pâté is so good!

[@katiemccarthy5178]

frys vegan battered prawns are amazing!! found them in the freezer section in holland and barrett

[@jaylarae183]

these are some great ideas! you never hear ideas for vegan 'naughty' foods and meals so this is awesome.

[@Megan-fb2pu]

Great video! The dishes you showed at the end looked super yummy, would love some recipe videos for them!

[@candicequintanilla230]

You both are looking so good and healthy! I can see a big change in Alex's face! Oatmeal is a good breakfast food. Also I normally have some fruits in the morning. Thanks for the video!

[@annamay1629]

You can make that chocolate hard shell ice cream topping at home, I do, it just calls for any kind of chocolate of your choice, melted down, and added to coconut oil which is what makes it hard when it hits the cold ice cream!

[@decayingmatter5861]

The single soya cooks really well!! I have tagliatelle with thin cut mushrooms lots of black pepper wholegrain mustard and spring onion with the single soya and omg it tastes exactly like cream and is SO GOOD

[@nicoleduff377]

This has given me lots of ideas. I've been vegetarian for 2 and a half years almost but most the time vegan. Just a few things to cut out and this video has helped. Thankyou :)

[@ajones7115]

mayola has a salad cream taste I reckon

[@makeeatrepeat]

Yes it does, I just use a salad cream now

[@xPumpkinWitchx]

salad cream has egg in it though or is yours vegan

[@carzrules123]

For breakfast I love porridge made with almond milk with dried cranberries and goji berries with cinnamon. Its like warm Christmas in a bowl! Or if I have a bit more time I like a bit of a fry up. I basically use whatever I have in the fridge but my favourite is with spinach, asparagus, tomatoes, spring onion, pesto and toast with some lemon juice over it all. Your lemon 'chicken' looked great, I'm going to have to try that!

[@ninjastellar]

So nice to see how many plant based options are out there 😊 so, breakfast ideas - dried fruit like figs, dates and prunes (on the go food, cheaper, same nutrition value as the fresh stuff), cornflakes, oats, granola, pancakes, jam+nut butters on toast etc. Love you two! ❤

[@juliaehlert8127]

Tell Alex to try melted cheese and Vegemite toastie ! We do that in Australia too :) Also smashed avocado and Vegemite on toast.

[@schrumpelblume]

Loved this video! For breakfast I recommend overnight oats, porridge, semolina pudding, chia pudding, French toast and pancakes. And I also love scrambled tofu!

[@JustVeganin]

Really enjoyed this! Also gotta love the traditional wholegrain toast, peanut butter and banana.... always good for breakfast :)

[@Jesivotchka]

Auuuugh! I wish all of this was available when I was there. I did have a nice pate that was mushroom flavored, it came in a tube and I think I got it at Holland and Barrett. That on rice cakes, or the Marmite rice cakes (I don't know if they still make those) were my absolute fave. I love the presentation of this video, it felt very cozy and chatty without just meandering and losing focus. Thanks for the video, babes!

[@rfox3513]

i also highly recommend scrambled tofu for breakfast :) xxx

[@emilieschaefer980]

Potato Dreams it's delicious 10/10 agree. YUM!!

[@greenteakewpie]

Potato Dreams Yes! My mum makes amazing scrambled tofu. We have it with baked beans on toast and the occasional sausage or fake bacon. She adds spinach, capsicum and onion to the tofu for crunch and nutrition. 😊

[@aejlindvall]

What type of tofu would be good to scramble?

[@greenteakewpie]

Firm is suggested!

[@rfox3513]

I use firm :) you can also mix firm and silken if you liked your scrambled eggs more soft/creamy , or if you are making a lot at once :)

[@antoinettemoore-vaughan3298]

The coconut collaborative sell these little chocolate pots it's like chocolate cream so so good! I found them in the cooperative in my town 😌

[@aiwxo]

This is my fave video so far!!

[@glimmer42]

For breakfeast: oatmeal, it can be so tasty with dried fruits, nuts, cinnamon, cocoa... i also love date bars as a snack, they sell so many flavours. This was awesome video, very enjoyable.

[@carlystewart6115]

You should do these mor regularly, I struggle with new meal ideas. This has helped me so much. Thank you 🌿💕

[@lucy798]

Oatly custard is my fav. Thank you for the informative vid.

[@shelmonella93]

I can't wait to start trying some of this!! I am just recently vegetarian again but so excited to start making small moves towards veganism. Thank you for always making such entertaining, informative videos. I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and depression and it helps tremendously knowing I'm not alone.

[@lucyw6597]

Great video, full of yummy ideas 😍 For breakfast my favourites are pumpkin seed butter (you can get it from Holland and Barrets) on toast with sliced apple and a sprinkle of cinnamon or white tapioca pearls with some toasted pistachios and some syrup or rose water is also really nice.

[@naturallykellysage]

This is such a helpful video! My fiancé & I are Meat Free & gradually apdating to a vegan diet! I'm so pleased (didn't realise) that so many of our favourite treats had vegan options! Love your channel! x

[@fmrosealex]

That was so comprehensive I love it! I can't wait for all the good vegan tesco stuff to come to Ireland :)

[@vaennberg]

Breakfasts I often eat are just cereal and oat milk, but tips for something to put on toast are: nut- or seedbutter with sliced bananas (!!) and all kinds of bean/chickpea spreads (like hummus). I usually make a batch with whatever I have, nothing too fancy!

[@nickypowell1980]

yay loads of different desserts 😀 xx love your pink cardigan

[@RatQueen92]

Kiera, I'd love to see a video of Alex speaking about being Vegan for a year! What he's learned, what he's found hard, or easy and what his favourite foods are!

[@juliealexandra2563]

You two are the best, and you're so lucky to have so much to choose from! It's getting better here in Norway too, but nowhere near this.. I'm going to England this year though, so this will be really helpful! xx

[@mnshorten]

You two seem very easy going and nice. I love this type of video! Yes it's mostly processed foods but we have to find a balance. I try to not over do it with packaged foods, but I like to treat myself at least a few times a week. 😉

[@SakuraAtlas]

I typically have oatmeal for breakfast. I take quick cooking organic steel cut oats, water (and a bit of cashew milk), a bit of maple syrup, walnuts, cinnamon and half a banana on top. It's AMAZING

[@lilih.2634]

I do not plan to go vegan any time soon but I am still watching this with the utmost interest and genuine curiosity. I love your content x

[@yespleaseitsvegan5167]

Sausage sandwich FTW Love microwaving the Linda Sausages, take seconds, so convenient and in cardboard packaging!

[@amzels]

Two of my favourite breakfasts are strawberries and choc shot on toast or porrige with banana, walnuts and chocolate chips.

[@taliapaige26]

I love smoothie bowls for breakfast at the moment! Easy to have frozen berries in the freezer and just add a banana in, maybe some peanut butter, and I top it with granola (the dorset cereals chocolate one is kind of pricey but it's vegan and my absolute fav), some chia seeds on top too! Way easier than it seems like such a big breakfast should be! Also love pudding cups as snacks or desserts, so an Alpro dessert with some crushed nuts, fresh berries, chia seeds. So good and works as a breakfast too if you're in a slump with them:)

[@heywolfmoon2570]

Aww I love you guys! ❤ For breakfast, my husband and I frequently have a load of sliced bananas and coconut milk yogurt with raisins or date pieces, chopped cashews, pumpkin seeds, spoonful of peanut butter and some honey drizzled on top. Also love vegan bacon on buttered toast with shredded almond cheese, Follow Your Heart mayo and some "nooch" haha

[@JustCyndal]

I'd love to find and try some of these!!

[@marap2453]

For breakfast my favourite is raisin and cinnamon bagel with peanut/almond butter and sliced banana.

[@laurarigillo6985]

Wow! What a selection. Can´t wait for these foods to be more available and main stream in super markets around the world. Britain does it well!

[@kzzinsky]

Linda McCartney red pepper and chorizo sausages are great cooked and cut into 5 pieces and stirred through spicy tomato sauce at the last minute as meatballs.

[@WiggleIsWiggly]

This was honestly so so helpful! It's not realistic to always eat fresh foods like salads all the time, it's good to have quick stuff in the cupboard as well!

[@WiggleIsWiggly]

I think I'm actually gonna go and buy pretty much all of this stuff next time I go shopping! Written a big list for myself ha!!

[@SuzaWuza]

Those Sainsbury's vegan chocolate bars (Where they do crispy and orange) are so lovely, I went the other day and they now do huge ones for £1 each, I recommend having a look. Thanks for the video :)

[@SuzaWuza]

Oh and where was the alpro ice cream from? I've been looking for it for ages and you didn't say.

[@xPumpkinWitchx]

I've found alpro ice cream at morrisons, tescos and sainsburys before in the free from section or they can be mixed in with the dairy options.

[@unclebensricetime5459]

My local Tesco doesn't stock the big buttons or big bars D: They have the Alpro icecream with the dairy icecream though. Vanilla is my favourite.

[@lanied9718]

Suzanne Sadler do they contain soya as i cant have soya :( or too much if it anyway

[@SuzaWuza]

lanie D Yeah I'm sorry they have soya in 😞

[@katielouise210]

thank you so much for posting videos like this - they're so helpful, and you and alex are such a wonderful couple :)

[@cassielee1114]

This was amazing, thank you!! ! Looks like I need to do a tesco shop, they seem to have all the goods!

[@beckytowny9836]

What a fantastic video, gave me so many new meal idea, thank you so much !

[@katymills9431]

This is so helpful. Thank you, I'm not vegan but I'm veggie but I'm trying to have one meal a day vegan. I love this. I also love you guys x

[@amygray4499]

I love seeing what you think of these things as I've seen several in supermarkets so will definitely give more of them a try. I have found though I prefer normal dark chocolate to dairy free milk alternatives, but if I have to I will force myself to eat them 😜

[@LaurenAndTheBooks]

THIS IS SO HELPFUL! Thank you so much!

[@georgiakent3878]

Vegan granola with Alpro soya yogurt (I usually get vanilla!) with some fruit mixed in is so gooood as a vegan breakfast!

[@rfox3513]

Also co op jam and custard donuts. And hummus as a pasta sauce with roast veggies :)

[@katiiee3000]

I have the chocshot on toast either with one side of peanut butter or have desiccated coconut and pumpkin seeds really tasty but very runny.

[@rebeccac7399]

I adore your channel and I've been loving watching your videos for quite a while now and I'm just recently noticing that I love when you do videos with Alex!! The two of you are just so lovely together and I thoroughly enjoy watching the two of you just hanging out together and talking about things like proper best friends which is such a great thing to have with your partner ❤ you have such a wonderful relationship ❤❤ also, i love your rats 😘

[@TashIsabelleSkene]

As an Australian I was stoked to see vegemite in this video, also try vegemite and avocado on toast it's so good.

[@NotNormallyLikeThis]

Thank you for this video! I'm currently vegetarian but I want to move towards veganism and this is super useful. I'm usually intimidated by most vegan recipes online because it seems like such hard work but you make it seem much more achievable.

[@beccil689]

Love any video with you and Alex!

[@issyh1120]

so many great ideas- I am currently vegitarian and I'm now trying to cut down on my general dairy consumption thanks to you guys inspiring me x loving the alpro chocolate almond milk I've seen in some of your videos they are soooooo goooooood ps the Linda McCartney burgers are soooooo good with the nando's piri piri salt mmmm

[@mikipeach8595]

Waitrose have raspberry Swedish glace! So delicious!

[@alistamp1020]

I want to try all of these products!

[@amburrfershurr]

I love the Linda McCartney burgers, but my absolute favourites are the Morrisons vegetarian burgers. They are very similar but smaller in boxes of six. SO GOOD!

[@ulakalicinska3223]

tis video is AWSOME as usually the people doing these are from America and I don't get to buy anything but since I live in London and mostly eating plant based this video is very informative and I love it!!!thank you for sharing :)
