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 ÂŁ3.20.

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 ÂŁ3.75.

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 ÂŁ5.50.

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.

McDonalds – Veggie Dippers Happy Meal

This cost ÂŁ2.59.

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.

Veggie Pret – Vegan Chuna Mayo

This cost ÂŁ2.99.

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

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 ÂŁ2.49, but they had a special offer of 3 for the price of 2.

Veggie Pret – Acai & Almond Butter Smoothie Bowl

This cost ÂŁ3.75.

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.

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.
