Nationwide chain Pret a Manger launches new veggie menu

Today Pret A Manger launches their *Not just for Veggies* campaign , with a new meat-free menu and 5 new vegan options! This campaign has been prompted by one observation in particular – the rise in demand from their customers for good veggie and vegan food: “Last year sales of our veggie options saw double digit growth. With nearly 3 million customers passing through our shops every week, we believe this is a telling sign of a shift in the British diet.” Available from today: Acai Breakfast Bowl, £2.49 (vegan) – a bright and colourful bowl of acai berries mixed with banana and layered with gluten-free granola, banana slices, grated apple and pomegranate. As well as being vegan-friendly, this breakfast bowl is also dairy-free and made without any gluten ingredients Dairy-Free Bircher, £2.49 (vegan) – another dairy-free breakfast bowl, this bircher mix combines coconut yoghurt with granola, shredded apple and berry compote. The bircher is topped with fresh pomegranate seeds Chana Chaat Flat Bread, £3.75 (vegan) – an Indian flat bread with chana chaat chick peas, mango compote, coconut yoghurt, red pepper, spinach and coriander Mushroom & Avo Sushi Salad, £4.50 (vegan) – a salad based on the popular Hawaiian poke bowls; Pret’s version includes marinated mushrooms, avocado, rice, pickled cabbage and poke dressing (pictured below) Red Tapenade & Avo SuperBowl, £4.50 (vegan) – the newest addition to Pret’s SuperBowl range, this vegan option includes chunks of avo, red tapenade, baby kale, tomatoes and seed mix on a bed of lentils and British quinoa (pictured below) — What’s more, Pret will be turning one of their existing Soho (London) shops into a vegetarian-only pop-up this June.
