The Latest Vegan Food and Drink Products On The  Market

Communications firm, Cut The Bull, Uncover The Vegan Food And Drink Items That Are Leaping Ahead Of The Rest

 

vegan food and drink trends

 

Vegan food and drink products are soaring in success, especially with Veganuary well under way.

 

In its eighth year, Veganuary – the movement which seeks to inspire people to try a plant-based existence for 31 days for the benefit of our planet, animals and their own health – has gained a record 500,000 sign ups this year, with a huge 25 per cent of those being Brits.

 

The Veganuary challenge, which has surpassed last year’s record of 400,000 and has seen participants from over 192 countries, encourages people to be more environmentally conscious by adopting a vegan lifestyle throughout the month of January. With interest growing, The Vegan Society predicts that by 2025 a quarter of Brits will be vegan or vegetarian.

 

There are varying reasons that people choose to accept the challenge and in 2020, 38 per cent of people said they did it for their health, 37 per cent for animals, and 18 per cent to protect the environment. Organisers of the challenge, which boasts the likes of Paul McCartney, Alicia Silverstone and Sara Pascoe as ambassadors, suggest that this year’s increase could be due to larger numbers of people experimenting with animal-free diets during the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The rise in participation and demand for vegan products led to the launch of more than 1,200 new vegan products and menus in the UK in 2020 alone proving for many, veganism is for life, not just for Veganuary.

 

‘Global Shift’

Annie Mitchell, co-founder and CEO of vegan-friendly Bottleshot Cold Brew Coffee says: “We’re seeing a global shift towards vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.”

 

“This is no longer a small subset of customers seeking alternatives in the health aisles, but instead we’re seeing a cultural shift in how we think about eating. Whether you’re interested in animal rights, health and wellness and/or environmental benefits, we all simply want to eat healthier to feel better in body and mind, without giving up the fundamental joys of eating and drinking.”

 

Rise Of Flexitarians

However, it is not only vegans and vegetarians using cruelty-free products but also flexitarians – those who primarily stick to a vegan diet, but occasionally eat meat or fish.

 

Mitchell continues: “As a flexitarian, my own fridge has both our Bottleshot oat milk coffees as well as dairy-based cheese inside it.”

 

“They serve different purposes for me: allowing me to choose flavour first in both instances, while also reducing my dairy intake to create balance.”

 

“For many consumers, this category is now about making mindful choices rather than sacrifices.”
