Aldi announces the expansion of their plant-based range for Veganuary

Popular supermarket Aldi has recently unveiled their full menu of new plant-based food to mark this year's Veganuary.

The budget supermarket's extended vegan range will now include exciting new plant-based alternatives for breakfast, lunch, dinner and pudding.

It comes as millions of people around the world cut down their meat and dairy consumption for the whole month of January in what is now dubbed as 'Veganuary.'

Cheshire Live reports that around half a million people took part in the tradition last year, which has led to Aldi's decision to expand their vegan offerings.

Prices start at just 55p and the menu now includes five new mouth-watering additions, including a Naked Katsu Curry and delicious chocolate orange brownies.

So, whether you are looking for a healthy plant-based curry alternative, or you want satisfy your sweet tooth cravings with some extra plant power, here is what you can expect from Aldi's vegan range this month.
