Range preview: Marks & Spencer Veganuary 2021

Plant Kitchen New York Pretzel Roll with No Salt Beef

£3.50, 178g

Landing in the food-to-go chiller, M&S is giving this New York classic a plant-based twist. The vegan “salt beef” is made with marinated wheat and vegetable protein and is topped with sauerkraut, carrot and spring onion slaw, pickled dill cucumber, mustard dressing and coconut-based cheese – all inside a pretzel roll. 

 

Chickenless Southern Fried Tenders

£3.50, 252g

One of the first Plant Kitchen fake meat products made using pea protein, these pieces are coated in a southern fried crumb and the texture is so realistic M&S says it “honestly believes you won’t be able to taste the difference”.

 

Plant Kitchen BBQ No-Chicken Pieces

£2, 180g

Primed for salads and sandwiches, these pieces are made with pea and wheat protein and are available in two variants: BBQ and Piri Piri.

 

Plant Kitchen cheeses 

The retailer is welcoming three new dairy-free cheese products to the range this Veganuary. The first is a coconut oil-based cheddar alternative available in blocks and slices (rsp: £2.25, 200g) which promises to taste and melt like real cheddar.

There’s also a market first on the way to stores, a coconut-oil based alternative to feta cheese (rsp: £2.75, 200g) which tastes and crumbles just like the Greek salad cheese. 

 

Plant Kitchen Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Wedges

£4, 180g

Can’t forget about pudding. These strawberry and Madagascan vanilla cheesecake slices are made with a crunchy oat base and lentil protein cream which creates “luxurious creamy texture” according to the retailer. 

 

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie

75p Each

All the fun of a buttery cookie without any of the dairy. This cookie is “soft, gooey and packed with Belgian chocolate chips” and will be available from the fresh bakery counter, says M&S.

 

Plant Kitchen oat milks 

£1.85, 1l

Two new oat milks are en route to M&S: one a barista-style which froths up for expert hot drinks, and the other a chocolate flavour for hot chocolates and milkshakes. Both are made in Britain and are enriched with calcium, iodine, vitamin D and vitamin B12.
