The stash that your vegan friends will love!
Unexpected visits
Do you ever feel ill-equipped when your vegan friends or family come over because you haven't had time to pop into a 'special' shop to buy vegan treats and snacks? Perhaps, you've felt as if you've not had enough time to find out what's vegan and what's not. Maybe you haven't fancied making an extra effort to find out what they can eat, and then try and find it, so you couldn't offer anything when they came over. If any of these ring true, this article will give you everything you need, without involving the need to visit any 'special' shops!
You can buy vegan snacks from supermarkets or even the local newsagent
You don't have to go to a 'special' shop, nor do you need to do lots of research and it doesn't need to involve extra effort either!
The sweet and savoury snacks shown in the images below can be purchased in a local newsagent near you, in any of the smaller supermarket stores and of course, in the bigger ones too! Nice and easy! However, these photos don't show ALL of the vegan options that are easily available. Check out the list from Unilever below.
So is it hard to host vegan friends and family?
In this post I've focused on catering for vegans who pop in for a quick visit, which may involve tea, coffee, cold drinks and some snacks. If you wanted to make a little extra effort, you could get some non-dairy milk, so they can have white tea or coffee. Here's a few that you can buy in your local supermarket, soya milk, almond milk, hazelnut milk and coconut milk. If you ever decide that you want to cook a vegan meal, these delicious recipes may help.
