Vegan snacks: 15 treats that are free from milk, egg and other animal products

0

Being vegan – that’s eating a plant-based diet, so no meat, fish, eggs or dairy – is pretty popular right now. With the likes of Deliciously Ella topping the cookbook charts it’s easy to believe that being vegan means being super healthy all the time. But if you fancy the occasional processed treat, fear not. We’ve compiled a list of 15 foods that just happen to be vegan. They weren’t made with the intention of feeding vegans – they just happen to be that way. And some of them might surprise you.

 

1. Turkish delight

Turkish delight is almost always vegan. If you fancy making your own try this recipe.

3. Fox’s Party Rings

5. Ready made pastry

Up to you what you put in it (Picture: Getty)

Although homemade pastry is almost always made with butter, shop bought tends to use oil instead.

Check the ingredients but chances are shop bought puff, shortcrust or filo pastry is vegan.

6. Bird’s Custard Powder

Not to be confused with the instant powder, which contains milk powder (Picture: Bird’s)

No egg or milk in this version. You can make it up with soya milk.

7. Crumpets

With soy butter, of course (Picture: Getty)

Many crumpets are vegan – for example Warburtons, Sainsbury’s own and Tesco’s own. Check the label, though, as some contain butter and milk.

8. Waitrose ham hock and English mustard crisps

Contains no ham at all and is completely vegan.
