Let’s have a round of applause for vegan food company Follow Your Heart and their new listing deal with Tesco stores around the UK!
So what can you buy from the Follow Your Heart range in Tesco stores?
Vegenaise is the best vegan product on the planet (in my fat, humble opinion) and the plant-based mayo is now in over 550 Tesco stores.
You will also be able to find the Smoked Gouda slices and Medium Cheddar slices in 300 Tesco stores.
The Californian brand launched in the UK in 2015 after decades of selling their products around the world and are now available via Ocado, Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury’s, Whole Foods Market, Planet Organic, The Vegan Kind, and independent retailers.
If you have been watching my daily Vegan Quarantine videos on Facebook, you might have heard me mention that I am helping superstar vegan food brand Make No Bones with a spot of promotion.
Make No Bones is a much-loved vegan restaurant in Sheffield, feeding fans for a number of years. Unfortunately, they have been experiencing some downtime during the global crisis but that doesn’t mean they have been out of action completely.
The restaurant recently teamed up with local Fletchers Bakery to design and produce their own vegan brioche bun.
The buns have been such a massive success already with runaway sales in Tesco stores around the UK. (Order online from Tesco)
With this initial success under their pleather belts, Make No Bones have now announced a collaboration with Waitrose supermarkets.
The Make No Bones vegan brioche buns are available in Waitrose stores around the UK as of Wednesday June 17, 2020.
I asked Waitrose how they felt about the launch and a spokesperson told me:
We are excited to be launching these delicious vegan alternative rolls. At Waitrose, our vegan options are extremely popular with all our customers, not just those following a vegan lifestyle, so we know our shoppers will love these. The rolls will be a great addition to our shelves this barbecue season and will pair perfectly with our fabulous selection of vegan patties and burgers.
I haven’t been into a Waitrose store in a while due to the fact that I have been out of the country, but I will certainly be making it one of my first stops upon my return. I’ve been told by a few friends that their vegan offerings are pretty impressive these days.
You can buy the Make No Bones brioche buns online from Waitrose and be sure to click here to see the full list of stores currently stocking the product.
But even when you get used to expecting the unexpected, it is still surprising that Kylie Minogue has released her own vegan rosé wine!
Check it out.
Kylie released a quote to mark the launch of the vegan-friendly rosé:
I have a great passion for rosé and have loved working for the last two years on developing Kylie Minogue Wines. Working with the brilliant team at Benchmark Drinks we have created a rosé that I am truly enamoured by, it’s fresh, light and the perfect pink.
The Kylie rosé is priced at £9.00 for the regular release bottle and £17.00 for the gift box edition.
Tesco is listed as a stockist at the moment, but when I searched I was told they are currently out of stock.
You can buy directly from the drinks company for UK delivery. Click here to shop for Kylie rosé.
What do you think? Are you excited to try this wine curated by Kylie?

Superstar vegan eatery Make No Bones of Sheffield has been collaborating with local bakery Fletchers to design the perfect vegan brioche.
And guess what? They have done it!
Don’t they look sensational?!
I asked Lauren from Make No Bones to give me a brief comment on the brioche launch and she said:
From our point of view, we are dead excited that there is a demand for vegan brioche and how far the accessibility of vegan food has come!
The Make No Bones vegan brioche buns launched in 400 Tesco stores today (January 27, 2020). I haven’t seen a store list yet but I have heard that they are mostly in Tesco Extra locations.
Since 1991, The Fry Family Food Co has been making meat alternatives and recent data sees the brand ranked as the 7th largest meat-free brand by retail value, growing at an astonishing +211% year on year.
Yay for vegan food and yay for animals!
But the bad news?
After stocking Fry’s for the last 6 years, Ocado online supermarket has decided to stop selling the brand.
Those who rely on home delivery for their shopping in the UK will now find it much harder to access the full Fry’s range.
The Fry Family Food Co is hoping their supporters and fans can show Ocado how many customers they are disappointing and get them to reconsider the sudden decision.
If you want to get involved with asking for a reversal of this decision, tag Ocado in your social media posts. You can also write to Ocado directly at ocado@ocado.com with your opinions.
Oumph! are launching their new plant-based Sticky Smokehouse Oumph! into select Tesco stores, in the United Kingdom and Tesco Ireland, this month.
Sticky Smokehouse Oumph! are rib style fillets, covered in a richly flavoured sticky, smoky barbecue sauce.
Like the other popular, award-winning Oumph! products at Tesco, such as Pulled Oumph!, Oumph! The Chunk, and Oumph! Kebab Spiced, the Sticky Smokehouse Oumph! is sold in the frozen section.
“Following the phenomenal success of the Oumph! Sticky Smokehouse in Sweden we are delighted to be launching in the UK and partnering Tesco. We know this will be a great hit with all customers and Veganuary is a perfect time to try it, whether your new to Oumph! or trying for the first time, our feedback suggests you’ll be amazed with the great taste and it’s perfect for those Big Nights In”, said Laura Weadock, Account Manager at Oumph! and Food for Progress.
The company has been around for a number of years now and I adore how they keep expanding their range, sometimes even releasing limited edition vegan sweeteners and syrups.
Speaking of limited edition releases, the brand has just a few days ago released four Christmas products which are available in Aldi stores around the UK.
So, what have we got in the range?
Gingerbread Syrup
Cinnamon Syrup
Choc Shot Winter Spice
Choc Shot Mint
All of the Sweet Freedom products are perfect for adding to coffee, frappes, cocktails or drizzling over pancakes and porridge.
