Veganism has become largely popular in all countries over the last year or so, with brands such as KFC and Goodfellas taking the stance to bring healthier, more ethical and sustainable items to the food market. There’s also been a large increase in beauty products and clothing. Here is our round up of the five top vegan products that you may not know were on the market.

Vegan Kind
Karris is an animal lover and passionate vegan, who co-founded TheVeganKind with her partner Scott in 2013. Having been frustrated at the lack of vegan options in various supermarkets, Karris came up with the idea of a monthly vegan goodie box, posted straight through the door.
Karris was a vegetarian long-term, until stumbling across a video on YouTube showing male baby chicks being ground alive, which is a common practice in the egg industry. Upon realising that being vegetarian still contributed to animals suffering, she started to change her diet and quickly eliminated animal products.
As the mother of two vegan children (aged 2 and 6), wife to Scott (the other co-founder of TVK), and managing director of an exciting business, she doesn’t get too much time to herself, but if she does, you can normally find her lostin a good book, or catching up on her favourite youtube/instagram accounts.

Available in two delicious varieties: Strawberry Tubes and Blueberry Tubes, the range is made from the finest almond milk yoghurt, containing up to 20% pure almonds. Spoon-free, each serving provides the delicious taste and plant-protein rich nutritional benefits of Nush in a mess-free and convenient format.
