If you’re looking for some inspiration in the kitchen, social media sensations BOSH! and Wicked Healthy – the mastermind chefs behind Tesco’s hugely popular Wicked Kitchen range – both have mouth-watering cookbooks coming out soon.

IKEA’s Vegan Hot Dog
No trip to IKEA is complete without stopping by the restaurant, and this August, the popular vegan meatballs will be joined by another exciting addition: a vegan hot dog!

Following the recent explosion in popularity of plant-based milks, Alpro is getting creative with a new range of chilled coffees, called Alpro Caffè, which includes Coffee and Soya Caramel and Coffee and Hazelnut flavours.
-
“Bleeding” Burgers
Although the full details aren’t yet known, Beyond Meat’s famously realistic Beyond Burger – which “bleeds” beetroot juice – is scheduled to hit the UK sometime this year. Meanwhile, Moving Mountains’ “bleeding” B12 Burger is currently available exclusively at Mildreds Dalston in London and should soon reach other eateries across the country.
And if you’re looking for a “bleeding” burger at the supermarket, Iceland will be launching its No Bull burger – made with soya protein coloured with beetroot – at the start of April.

Viegan’s Tigernut Drink
If you’re looking for a new plant milk to try, you’re in luck! Viegan – one of PETA’s Business Friends – is launching its new Tigernut Drink later this month. Contrary to its name, the tiger nut is a vegetable rather than a nut, and it makes for a deliciously creamy drink.
