Have a vegan Easter
We show you how to enjoy a cruelty-free weekend
Easter season is officially upon us, bringing with it the promise of warmer days, blossoming trees, and cute chicks taking their first steps into the world. And let’s not forget the chance to indulge in delicious meals, too. While the ‘traditional’ foods enjoyed over this long weekend – chocolate, eggs and a meat centrepiece – may not be vegan, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out. In fact, you can still have a cracking time with our guide to hosting a day that’s packed with mouth-watering plant-based treats and fun activities.
The food
It only makes sense to start the day with hot cross buns. Most major supermarkets, including Tesco, Asda, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s, all have free-from variants of this Easter classic so stock up and slather with dairy-free butter. If you prefer, treat yourself to pancakes (made with your favourite plant-based milk, self-raising flour, baking powder, sugar and vegetable oil), then top with fresh fruit.
