13 New Vegan Food And Drink Products

In January 2021 over half a million people said they’d go vegan for a month, according to the official Veganuary organisation and it looks like that number will be higher for 2022. So, it’s no surprise that the range of vegan products continues to expand, with new launches every month. Here is a top selection of new plant-based foods and drinks that are worth adding to your vegan diet this month and beyond.

Nut Blend is another premium healthy nut butter brand.

6.Bio & Me gut-loving Porridge and Granola 

Dr Megan Rossi, aka the “The Gut Health Doctor” says that despite granola being most people’s healthy breakfast choice, the reality is that not all granolas are healthy. So she created her own food brand, Bio&Me, founded in science so it is genuinely nutritious and is able to make a “good for your gut” health claim. Low sugar, vegan granola made from 15 different types of natural plant-based foods and prebiotic fibre means it really does boost gut diversity. The Bio&Me granola range includes Super Seedy & Nutty, Cocoa & Coconut, Apple & Cinnamon and Raspberry & Beetroot. They’re not only good for your gut: they really are delicious too – highly recommended.
