With May marking National Vegetarian Week, the experts have come up with  50 ideas on how you and the family can enjoy a plant-based lifestyle.

Run by the Vegetarian Society from May 13-19, the event is the perfect time  to celebrate plant-based living with its ‘50 veggie things’. You can pick and  mix from 50 brilliant family-friendly ideas by visiting www.nationalvegetarianweek.org, with some of the ideas including:

  • Try jackfruit: Jackfruit is so versatile – it’s great in burgers, amazing with  barbecue sauce and a tasty way to get one of your five a day.
  • Share a photo of your veggie shopping: Whether you fill a trolley or  basket, or just carry as much as you can, make your shopping totally veggie. Stock up and use #NationalVegetarianWeek to show off your shop.
  • Make a BOSH! Recipe: Looking to make an incredibly tasty vegan meal? BOSH! has you covered. Check out its #NationalVegetarianWeek videos. One taste and you’ll want the brand new cookbook, Bish Bash BOSH!

Graham Drummond, from the Vegetarian Society, explained: “This year, National Vegetarian Week offers some fun
new things for you to try, such as tucking into a veggie full-English breakfast, sharing gelatine free sweets, doing a
dairy free milk taste-test or choosing the tofu dish from the local Chinese takeaway. Visit the website to get the full
‘50 veggie things’ list and pick your bite-sized activity to cheer up your day.”
