When you think of vegan food, you may think of colourful salads and breakfast bowls, but what actually is the most popular vegan food?
As a lifestyle nutrition brand, we’ve loved seeing the popularity of our vegan products, particularly vegan-friendly pea protein, go from strength to strength. We have many vegan recipes that use pea protein on our blog, but what is the nation’s favourite? We did some digging and found out the top 60 as told by Instagram.
So that’s the top seven, but what about the rest? Did you know vegan haggis is more insta-worthy than vegan mince pies? Or that vegan dumplings trump vegan Yorkshire puddings?
