Morrisons launches vegan food box for £35

From metro.co.uk

Over the past few months, Morrisons has become the King of Food Boxes, as we’d like to call it. From a ‘Ramadan essentials’ special to a huge 11kg fruit and veg option, and even a BBQ box, the supermarket chain is all about supplying what you need in bulk and in a box during lockdown. Please welcome the latest addition to the range: the ‘vegan essentials’ box. Free from any animal-derived products, it contains 23 items in total, weighing in at just under 15kg.

One box, priced at £35, will feed two people for a week, with products including meat-free mince, dairy-free cheese and almond milk, as well as a range of fresh fruit and vegetables. There are no restrictions on who can buy the box, so if you’re not vegan but keen to give it a go, you can. Inside, you’ll find products suitable for making dishes such as vegan pasta bolognese, rainbow salad bowls, vegan sausage sandwiches and more.

All of the items in the vegan box - here’s the full list:

● KTC Chickpeas, 500g ● Morrisons Jackfruit in BBQ Sauce, 150g ● Morrisons Cous Cous, 500g ● Di Martino Penne Pasta, 500g ● Pure Sunflower Spread, 500g ● Alpro Almond Milk Unsweetened, 1L ● Alpro Plain Yoghurt, 500g ● Morrisons Almonds, 200g ● Violife Dairy Free Cheese, 200g ● Heck Meat-Free Sausages ● The Meatless Farm Co Mince, 400g ● Morrisons V Taste No Chicken Strips, 228g ● Morrisons Wonky Carrots, 1kg ● Morrisons Brown Onions, 1kg ● Morrisons The Best Sweet Peppers, 250g ● Morrisons Baby Spinach, 160g ● Morrisons The Best Farmhouse Loaf, 800g ● Morrisons Baby Potatoes, 1kg ● Morrisons Royal Gala Apples, 6 pack ● Morrisons Passata, 500g ● Morrisons Vegan Stock Pots, 4 pack ● Morrisons Apple & Cinnamon Granola, 500g ● Lotus Original Caramelised Biscuits, 250g 

The plant-based box was introduced after customers wrote to Morrisons, requesting a vegan alternative to its current offering. ‘Many of our vegan customers have got in touch to ask whether we could create a food box for them,’ said Tessa Callaghan, head of food boxes. ‘We’ve sourced some of the best vegan food for this food box as we continue to play our full part in feeding the nation during these unprecedented times.’

Additional speciality boxes include a gluten-free option, a fish box and a family box, with the latter sold at a slightly higher price of £45. You can order any of the boxes for delivery straight to your door, with a no-contact service.
