Crussh – Falafel & Houmous Wrap

Please note that I visited this place and drafted this review before the UK Government’s Coronavirus announcement on 16 March 2020 about social distancing and not going on unnecessary trips.

This cost £3.20.

It had falafel balls, houmous, mixed leaves and shredded carrot in a seeded wrap.

It was a bit bland and I would prefer if other fillings were added like cucumber, tomato or onion.

Veggie Pret – Cocoa, Nuts & Berries Smoothie Bowl

Please note that I visited this place and drafted this review before the UK Government’s Coronavirus announcement on 16 March 2020 about social distancing and not visiting restaurants

This cost £3.75.

The smoothie is incredibly thick and has an odd consistency. It is a mix of ground nuts, banana puree, cocoa and coconut cream. It also has almond butter, raspberries, blueberries and mixed nuts on top with sliced banana hidden at the bottom of the bowl.

Veggie Pret – Sashimi Style Watermelon Poke Bowl

Please note that I visited this place and drafted this review before the UK Government’s Coronavirus announcement on 16 March 2020 about social distancing and not visiting restaurants

This cost £5.50.

The bowl includes sliced avocado, watermelon chunks, pickled cabbage, black rice, shredded radish, edamame beans, coriander, a quarter of lime and sesame seeds.

The watermelon went well with the rest of it, but I think it would be nicer if there was more melon and less avocado.

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 – 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.

Veggie Pret – Raspberry and Coconut Smoothie Bowl

A strawberry smoothie in a biel with 3 raspberries, dried coconut and granola on top.

The smoothie is too liquidy for the bowl as the top is a bit loosee and the too high for what you get.
