McDonalds – Veggie Dippers Happy Meal

This cost £2.59.

It has 2 veggie dippers, a small fried (you can choose a fruit or carrot bag instead), an orange juice (other drinks are available), a sealed pot of ketchup (barbeque, sweet and sour and curry were the other sauce options) and as the “toy” it had a small plastic Little Miss Chatterbox mug (other Mr Men and Little Miss options are randomly included).

The cardboard box can be adapted into a tray, which was useful.  If you aren’t too hungry this is probably suitable as a light meal for an adult.

The cost is reasonable for what you get.

Crussh – Green Goddess juice

This was on special offer for £2 small juice. The normal price is £4.

It has apple, kiwi, pear, lime, cucumber, spinach & celery freshly juiced. It tastes nice but was only at room temperature rather than chilled.

I think the full price is too high for what you get.

Veggie Pret – Vegan Chuna Mayo

This cost £2.99.

It has chickpeas in a seasoned sauce with cucumber slices, chopped red onion and its of rocket leaves in a white baguette.

I was pleasantly surprised at the taste and texture of the “Chuna”, but, for me, there was far too much rocket for the size of sandwich

McDonalds – Big Mac Sauce

This cost 50p for a small sealed pot.  you get more sauce than in the free pots you can get of ketchup and barbeque sauce.

I tried it with fries and veggie dippers.  It made a change from the free sauces – particularly as the wider pot made it easier to dip things in it.  It tasted a bit tangy, and it is nice to finally make it available to vegetarians (it isn’t vegan as it mentions egg yolk in the ingredients), but ideally, it should be part of the free sauces available.

Sweets and the City – Strawberry and Lemonade Duals

These are soft, gummy, fizzy vegan sweets.

The lemon flavour is quite a bit stronger than the strawberry.

The bag I had contained 27 sweets. I got it in Holland & Barrett where the normal price is £2.49, but they had a special offer of 3 for the price of 2.

Veggie Pret – Acai & Almond Butter Smoothie Bowl

This cost £3.75.

It includes banana slices hidden at the bottom of the bowl, shredded apple, granola, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, acai puree and almond butter.

The almond butter was quite thick and creamy, and the acai puree tasted nice. However it tasted odd when mixed with the almond butter.

Veggie Pret – Humous & Chipotle Wrap

The wrap tasted a bit doughy, and the coriander and peppers overpowered some of the other flavours.

Veggie Pret – Spicy Marinated Tofu Poke Bowl.

This costs £5.50.

It includes picked cucumber chunks, black rice, avocado, sliced tofu, diced mango, picked cabbage, sesame seeds, a quarter of lime and coriander.

Despite its name I did n’t thinkn’t was spicy and the tofu did not taste marinated.

Boots – Vegan Southern Fried Wrap

This costs typically £3, but us eligible for the meal deal.

There is a lot of shredded carrots with a cold cooked meat institute with a seasoned coating and tomato sauce.

It was a bit soggy and sticky on the outside.
