A Summer Selection Of Goods And Goodies

1 Lazy Vegan frozen Chunky Pulled Peaz is a gluten-free, plant-based protein source suitable for vegans and — with a substantial texture — flexitarians. Quick and easy to use, it’s available in four flavours: Natural (for those who want to create their own dishes) and (for even easier mealtimes) Mediterranean Herbs, Mexican, and ProvenÒ«ale.

Available from Sainsbury’s. 350 g (£3.00). www.lazyvegan.com

2 For those who are looking for a caffeine-free hot drink, Chikko Golden Milk Curcuma Latte Mix with turmeric is a welcome addition to the Chikko Not Coffee range (we also loved Chikko Not Coffee Roasted Chicory). With a warming flavour, the Golden Milk pairs particularly well with frothed oat milk. Allergen-free, vegan and organic. Contains no added sugar.

Available online, Planet Organic, Amazon. 110 g pack (£6.99). www.shop.not-coffee.com
