New vegan Christmas sandwich at Pret

by

If you need a festive sandwich in order to feel like Christmas is complete, Pret a Manger stores have got you covered.

The sandwich chain has just this launched a new Christmas range of sandwiches and drinks, including the plant-based version they are calling the Very Merry Christmas Lunch Sandwich.

Pret’s Vegan Christmas Sandwich retails for £3.50 and combines grilled carrots, spinach and a vegan stuffing on granary bread. It is dressed with a port and orange cranberry sauce and a handful of caramelised pecans and crispy onions.

In addition to this vegan sandwich, Pret also has a a line of festive drinks that can be veganised. Sadly, it will cost you 35p extra to switch the dairy to coconut milk in the Festive Flat White (contains mince pie syrup?!), Mint Mocha or Mint Hot Chocolate.

Can you hear the sleigh bells?

Vegan menu for Spring at Pret

by

Pret a Manger has made no secret of how ferociously they are chasing vegan money in the UK.

The giant coffee chain has opened two completely vegetarian outlets with a big focus on vegan products and now they are putting an increased effort into advertising their vegan-suitable items across all their stores.

I guess big business has well and truly discovered they can make big money from us plant eaters!

Pret is currently advertising this coconut flat white coffee at a limited number of stores with a view to rolling it out further if it proves popular.

It’s great to see a dairy-free alternative made as a stand alone menu item, not as an afterthought or substitution.

In addition, Pret has rolled out this big vegan menu for spring and some of it looks tasty.

You can expand the ‘see recipe’ fields by visiting the menu online.

What do you think of this vegan push by Pret? Have you tried any of the new items? How were they?
