Celebrate Veganuary in style with Jimmy's Iced Coffee

My wife and I love Jimmy's Iced Coffee. 

There's nothing like a nice drink of Jimmy's Iced Coffee at no matter what time of the day, well, excepting perhaps at bedtime!

So, what's available? There's Jimmy's original coffee, iced coffee with an extra shot, and delicious, decadent mocha.

They only use carefully chosen coffee beans (Arabica, and only ever Rain Forrest Alliance Arabica coffee beans) so clearly Jimmy's is the ideal coffee maker for those of us who care about what we consume and what impact we have on our world.

And Jimmy's has taken the extra step of making sure that its delicious iced coffee is only ever sold in 100% fully recyclable aluminium cans or in funky and very attractive BottleCans to which it proudly has the Trademark. Also guaranteed to be fully recyclable.  

But that's all very well, but what about Veganuary? Jimmy's has Veganuary covered with its most excellent and very tasty iced coffee made with oat milk! Tried other non-dairy coffees before but weren't all that impressed? That might have been so, but I'll bet that wasn't Jimmy's oat milk based non-dairy coffee? 

My wife and I both love Jimmy's Oat Milk Iced Coffee and we enjoyed the taste and as my wife has a dairy allergy, she was doubly pleased.

You can order your Jimmy's Iced Coffee direct at https://www.jimmysicedcoffee.com or from several smart retailers such as Morrison's, the Co-Op, Waitrose, Asda, M&S, Tesco, Sainsbury and bp. 

Jimmy's is a Dorset-based company and is B-Registered.

Asda Reveals Two New Vegan Ranges for 2023

That's right! Asda has launched not one but two new vegan ranges in time for Veganuary 2023!

Whether you’re a seasoned vegan or just looking to cut down on your meat consumption this January, or want to provide vegans in your family or friends with something that's not only vegan but also tasty and nutritious,  Asda’s new OMV! and Plant Based ranges have you completely covered, with over 112 high-quality, unapologetically indulgent, and flavoursome vegan products.

The OMV! range contains delicious and utterly tasty treats sure to tantalise everyone's tastebuds, whilst the Plant Based range offers nutritionally balanced meat-free meals that don’t compromise on flavour, either.

New for January 2023, Asda’s OMV! Hot & Spicy No Chicken Burgers (£2.25) are a must-try. Prepared with a succulent pea and wheat protein blend and encased in a zingy hot and spicy crumb, they’re perfect for pairing with the delightfully soft OMV! Brioche Burger Buns (£1.15), for an easy Friday night dinner with family or friends.

For those who are missing out on a hearty fry-up on those cold, January mornings, the Plant Based by Asda Bacon style rashers (£2) are a brilliant option. Made with wheat protein, and nutritionist-approved, the 100% vegan rashers can be indulged on in between slices of soft farmhouse bread, or as an accompaniment to the juicy and flavour filled OMV! No Pork Caramelised Red Onion Sausages (£2). (Just as a reminder, That's Food and Drink says make sure its Asda's very own freshly baked bread!)

A vegan take on a classic dish, the OMV! Macaroni Cheese (£2.85), is perfect for a quick and comforting weekday meal. Brining together traditional macaroni pasta with a spiffing coconut oil-based cheese alternative, the cheesy favourite is topped off with a flavour filled paprika and parsley crumb.

For those who are eating lunch on the move, Asda has you covered, as its new ranges also includes on the go options, like the Plant Based by Asda Chick*n Caesar Wrap (£2.75) – a bar-marked tortilla wrap complete with flame-grilled soya protein pieces, vegan Caesar style mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, gherkins and a tasty alternative to Italian style hard cheese, and the OMV! No Prawn Sandwich (£2.75), an Oatmeal bread sandwich with a vegan prawn alternative marinated in a vegan Marie Rose sauce.

Perfect with a coffee or after a meal, the OMV! range includes a number of decedent sweet treats like the very indulgent OMV! Choc Brownies (£2), complete with a sprinkling of chocolate chips, and the OMV! Salted Fudge Chocolate Bar (£2.50), a rice-based caramel milk chocolate, topped with vegan salted caramel fudge and crunchy honeycomb pieces.

Also as That's Food and Drink have previously mentioned, Meat-loving Married at First Sight star Zoe Clifton was announced as the fairly unlikely ambassador for the brand’s new OMV! And Plant Based by Asda ranges. Renowned vegan-sceptic Zoe is vowing to go vegan for all of January, eating products from the Asda ranges and sharing her verdict on vegan cuisine, supported by her plant-based partner Jenna.

The full range will be available to buy in-store throughout 2023, with select products also available to buy online from the 4th of January. Throughout January, customers who spend £5 on vegan own-brand products (OMV! and Plant Based by Asda) can also earn £1 back in their cash pot in the Asda Rewards app.

Asda reminds us of its café meal deals for kids and over 60s

Asda has announced its very popular and successful ‘Kids Eat for £1’ and ‘Winter Warmers’ deal for pensioners will be extended into 2023 to help more customers manage the cost of living crisis.

The supermarket, which launched the offer for kids under 16 to enjoy a hot meal in any of their 205 cafes in June 2022, has extended the deal until the end of March 2023, with no minimum adult spend. 

Over 60s will also be able to continue enjoying hot soup, a roll and unlimited tea and coffee in Asda cafes until the end of March 2023, thus making sure thousands of older customers can benefit from a warm space and a hot meal during the colder months. 

Since Asda launched the two initiatives last year, it's served over 1.2 million meals to kids and over 60s from its cafes nationwide.

For the first time since the launch, both café meal deals are now also available in the 28 Asda Living Stores across the country.

The extension of café initiatives comes as Asda’s Income Tracker shows UK households were £107 a month worse off in November 2022 and predicts disposable incomes will continue to decline into as inflationary pressures continue to bite.

Besides its support for kids and older people, Asda has confirmed it will be extending its 10% discount for emergency workers to at least the end of March 2023 through its partnership with Blue Light Card. 

Blue Light Card is a nationally acknowledged scheme which provides workers in the NHS, emergency services, social care sector and the armed forces with a range of discounts. Asda has extended its discount for card holders to acknowledge the amazing work they do day in, day out.

Asda’s colleagues will also continue to receive 10% discount in stores and online from their first day of employment.

Mohsin Issa, Asda’s co-owner said; “We know as families head into the New Year, the pressures on household budgets will continue, but we remain as committed as ever to supporting our customers tackle tough times. Our café initiatives have already proven a lifeline for over a million customers since we launched them last year, and we hope to support many thousands more into 2023, alongside our ongoing support for emergency workers and our valued colleagues.”

Zoe vows to go vegan

Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson seemed like a match made in heaven on Channel 4’s Married at First Sight. That was until committed carnivore Zoe discovered Jenna was a vegan, and the relationship hit a bump. 

Yet they remain the only couple still together from this last season, despite the die-hard differences around the dinner table.

Now, in an unlikely twist, vegan-sceptic Zoe has vowed to go vegan for the month of January as she steps into a new role as she steps into a new role as the official Ambassador for Asda’s new vegan ranges: OMV! and Plant Based by Asda. For 31-days, Zoe will drop the dairy and swap meat-based burgers, pies, pizzas, curries, and fry-ups for the vegan alternatives from the new OMV! and Plant Based by Asda ranges, before offering up her verdict on vegan cuisine, helped along the way by partner Jenna.

The announcement comes as new a new study reveals despite plant-based diets becoming more mainstream in the last decade, over half (56%) of Brits would still never consider going vegan. Top reasons cited include respondents would miss meat and dairy too much (51%), a vegan diet is boring (21%), vegan food is bland and lacking in flavour (18%), there's a lack of tasty vegan snacks or comfort food options (11%) and concerns over the lack of choice and variation in a plant-based diet (10%).

Zoe isn't alone in her trepidation about having a vegan partner. One in ten (11%) Brits say they wouldn’t date a vegan, or if they did, they’d be reluctant (8%). A third of these (30%) are put off by the fact they wouldn’t be able to cook together or enjoy the same meals as their partner, whilst a quarter (25%) are deterred by the possibility of arguments that might occur around food.

Over one in five (21%) would pass on a vegan paramour because it would be an issue when visiting friends and family or dining out, whilst one in five (20%) would find it difficult to know what to cook.

In partnering with staunch meat-lover Zoe, Asda hopes to challenge existing preconceived ideas about a vegan diet and debunk the myth vegan food is dull and lacks flavour.

Asda's new OMV! range features delicious comfort food options, for those looking to reduce their meat intake with vegan alternatives that don’t compromise on flavour. 

The tempting OMV! range includes everything from creamy Macaroni Cheese to Hot and Spicy No-Chicken Burgers and decadent Chocolate Brownies, whilst Plant Based by Asda celebrates the flavour of plants and is designed for those looking for tasty, healthy meals, think Plant Based Bean Burgers and Plant Based Meat-Free Meatballs. All products in the Plant Based by Asda range are nutritionally approved and in line with Asda’s Live Better promise to help customers enjoy healthy, sustainable diets.

Over 80 new products are launching across Asda’s OMV! and Plant Based by Asda ranges this Veganuary, now available in-store and online. All products in both the OMV! and Plant Based by Asda ranges are Vegan Society approved.

Zoe’s progress can be followed on Instagram at @zoeclifton and @jennarobo, and on TikTok at @zoeclifton and @jennathegayvegan, where the pair will be posting regular updates.

Zoe Clifton, Veganuary ambassador for Asda, comments: “This time last year, I’d never have contemplated dating a vegan as I had more love for meat. One year on not only am I in a relationship with a vegan, but I’m also going meat and dairy free.  As my family and friends know, this is a very big challenge for me, but I’ve been assured I won’t be able to taste the difference between plant-based alternatives. Jenna will be there to support me and stop me sneaking off for a cheeky fry-up.”

Jenna Robinson, Zoe’s partner, comments: “Whilst I never thought this day would come, I’m over the moon Zoe is opening her mind to my way of life. I’m anticipating some ups and downs along the way, but I’m really looking forward to giving Zoe an insight into my lifestyle and proving her wrong about a plant-based diet being boring. Let the challenge begin!”

Jessica Cole, Senior Director of Asda Own Brand, comments: “We’re incredibly excited to announce Zoe Clifton as our ambassador for the launch of OMV! and Plant Based by Asda. Whilst we already have a loyal base of shoppers who follow vegan and flexitarian diets, we want to open this up and challenge existing stereotypes surrounding the quality of vegan food,  stereotypes that are clearly still prevalent in society as research shows.

“In working with Zoe, we hope to inspire even devoted meat-eaters to give vegan food a chance. The OMV! range is a great place to start if you’re looking to cut down on meat but don’t want to compromise on flavour, and the Plant Based by Asda range provides options that are healthy, delicious, nutritionist-approved and carry Asda’s Live Better icon. 

"We’re really very proud of our new vegan and plant based ranges, which offer a breadth of choice and quality you won’t see anywhere else. We can’t wait for customers to try them and hope they love them as much as we do.”

Throughout January, customers who spend £5 on vegan own-brand products (OMV! and Plant Based by Asda) can also earn £1 back in their cash pot in the Asda Rewards app.

Frankie & Benny's go big this Veganuary with three-way vegan partnership

Three Vegan Icons. One innovative restaurant!

Top Italian American restaurateurs Frankie & Benny’s has announced its biggest partnership ever with three of the UK’s top vegan brands.

The popular restaurant has launched The Big Vegan Takeover to celebrate Veganuary and to encourage more people to eat less meat.

Frankie & Benny’s has seen an increased demand for vegan alternatives and has chosen three vegan iconic brands for their innovative collaboration.

The Veganuary takeover features plant-based heroes Biff’s™, THIS™ and OGGS®to show just how delicious vegan comfort food can be. 

Over the past several years Frankie & Benny’s has worked extremely hard to expand and improve its vegan offering as part of its central menu offering. 

It's hoping the collaboration with Biff’s™, THIS™ and OGGS® this Veganuary will showcase the best of vegan comfort food and convert those who are looking to follow a more flexitarian lifestyle. The new dishes will be in addition to the Frankie & Benny’s central menu which already has 20 vegan dishes available

Said Sasha Storey, Frankie & Benny’s Head of Brand "This Veganuary our vision is to show the UK comfort food and vegan dishes aren’t mutually exclusive, at Frankie & Benny’s you can have the best of both worlds! 

"We’ve selected some of our most beloved dishes, and challenged three exciting vegan partners, Biff’s™, THIS™ and OGGS®, to give these dishes a new, plant-based spin. So, whether you’re 100% meat-free, or just looking to make the odd sustainable switch over, you can find familiar favourites at Frankie & Benny’s throughout this January."

The menu will feature Biff’s™ Parmigiana Hoagie, smashed wings in a baked garlic ciabatta, topped with Napoletana sauce, crispy THIS™ Isn’t Bacon, vegan cheddar sauce & fresh basil leaves. Served with skin-on fries.

BBQ Spicy Banana Blossom Burger, a crispy vegan patty topped with vegan cheddar sauce & BBQ sauce with vegan mayo, lettuce & red onion. Served with skin-on fries.

And OGGS® Vegan Carbonara, silky garlic creamy sauce tossed with fettuccine & mushrooms, topped with THIS™ Isn’t Bacon & parsley.

THIS™ makes hyper-realistic plant-based meat alternatives that are high in protein & fibre, and lower in fat than real meat. By making game-changing meat alternatives that are as good as the real thing (we reckon, at least), THIS™ is on a mission to make plant-based eating a zero compromise option.

THIS™ Marketing Director Dee Bulsara said “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Frankie & Benny’s using our THIS™ Isn’t Bacon in two new delicious plant-based dishes: the Pasta Carbonara and the Parmigiana Hoagie. Eating plant-based in Veganuary has never been easier (or tastier) than THIS™!”

OGGS® create a range of plant-based egg alternatives and sweet treats made from chickpeas that taste great and do good, too. To date they've reduced the need for over three million eggs, given half a million chickens the week off and saved over 500,000kgs of CO2e. Scrambled OGGS® is the plant-based egg perfect for scrambles, omelettes, quiches - and a Vegan Carbonara at Frankie & Benny's!

Hannah Carter, Founder & CEO, OGGS® said: “We’re on a mission to make delicious plant-based eggs mainstream, so we couldn’t be prouder to work with an institution like Frankie & Benny’s on the ultimate team up with the Vegan Carbonara. A delicious dinner that works towards a kinder, more sustainable future is the ultimate Veganuary treat!”

Biff's make seriously tasty planet-friendlier vegan comfort food that's actually made from proper plants, not weird stuff. Ever since 2017 they've been on a mission to make doing good taste great with their 'Naturally Naughty' Wingz and Burgers made from Jackfruit: a more climate friendly alternative to chicken.

Biff's co-founder, Biff Bloom-Burrows says: "With it's tender flavour-packed jackfruit centre and deliciously crispy panko crumb, our hand-formed Crispy Fried Jackfruit is the perfect addition to any sandwich - but Frankie & Benny's have taken it to the next level with this Parmigiana Hoagie- we're hyped to be collaborating with them on such an incredible dish for Veganuary".

New heart-shaped jar of Fresh chilli jam tastiness from Tracklements

This month (ideally placed for Veganuary) Tracklements has launched it's all-new Heart-Shaped Jar of award-winning Fresh Chilli Jam which is both vegan-friendly and gluten free. The latter point is especially helpful for my wife and others who have been diagnosed as suffering from coeliac disease. 

It's moreish and very, very addictive. It's sticky and delightfully sweet with an inspirational but very gentle heat, brought about by fresh red chillies, so making it ideal for just about every culinary use you can think of, including dipping and serving with cheese on your cheeseboard. It really is very versatile.

My wife is not usually a fan of chilli products but she absolutely adores this particular Fresh Chilli Jam.

It comes in a delightful heart-shaped jar, so we feel that it will make an excellent additional to the Valentine's Day breakfast in bed that you are planning for the special person in your life. And even if you weren't thinking of making them breakfast in bed, please let this heart-shaped jar of sweet chilli jam loveliness be your inspiration!  

But best to buy several jars, because they are so tasty, we don't think they'll last long, as it is that tasty!

Almost 9 million people are planning to take a month off drinking this January

• One in seven (17%) UK adults – estimated as 8.8 million people - plan to go alco-hol-free for 31 days in January, with three in 10 looking to cut down generally in 2023

• One in four say they have drunk more in 2022 than 2021, while for one in six the cost of living crisis was a reason for the increase in their drinking

• Of those planning to go alcohol-free, one in three said they'd prefer to take part in Dry January with Alcohol Change UK

• Those who take on Dry January using the charity Alcohol Change UK’s free Try Dry app and/or daily motivational emails are twice as likely to have a month to-tally alcohol-free and experience many more benefits

• Low and no-alcohol brands Lyre’s, Mocktails and Lucky Saint are partnering with Alcohol Change UK to offer drinkers alternatives this January

New research published by Alcohol Change UK, the charity behind Dry January®, shows that almost 9 million people in the UK are planning to have a month off drinking in January 2023 - up from an estimated 8 million UK adults last year. Of those, one in three (33%) said they would prefer to take part in Dry January® with Alcohol Change UK, rather than trying to go alcohol-free in January on their own.

The survey, commissioned by Alcohol Change UK, shows the cost of living crisis has impacted on drinking habits over the last six months. One in six (16%) people who drink alcohol said this had led to them drinking more to cope with worries around the crisis, and one in seven (14%) have prioritised purchasing alcohol over essential items, such as groceries.

For one in three young adults who drink (36%), anxiety after drinking has also been a factor in them deciding to reduce their alcohol consumption. Hangxiety - a term used to describe the experience of feeling anxious the day after drinking - appears more prevalent amongst drink-ers aged 34 and under, with two in five (40%) experiencing it regularly, compared to a tenth (12%) of those aged 35 and over. For those aged 18-34, over a third (36%) said it was a con-tributing factor in their decision to reduce their drinking.

Over the course of a typical week, British drinkers, on average, drink 13.7 units of alcohol. However, one in three (30%) drinkers typically drink more than the 14 units a week maximum recommended by the UK’s Chief Medical Officers, with twice as many men doing so com-pared to women (39% versus 22%).

Three in 10 (30%) drinkers said they would like to reduce how much they drink in 2023 (com-pared to 25% a year ago). Across all drinkers, half claim to already have taken measures to manage their drinking. The most common being having alcohol-free days (25%), drinking less on occasions where they are drinking alcohol (16%), having alcohol-free weeks or months (15%), or an alcohol-free night out (10%).

This Dry January, Alcohol Change UK is partnering with low and no-alcohol brands Lyre’s, Mocktails and Lucky Saint to encourage those taking part to look at non-alcoholic options as part of their Dry January challenge.

January 2023 marks the 10th anniversary since the launch of Dry January. Dry January® offers the perfect opportunity to manage your drinking for the longer term and a chance to get some amazing benefits along the way. Research shows that those who do Dry January® with Alcohol Change UK double their chances of success, and have more energy, improved con-centration, boosted mood, save money and so much more. A month off alcohol also leads to lower blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes risk, as well as lower cancer-related proteins in the blood.

Over the past 10 years, Dry January® has continued to grow in popularity with record numbers of drinkers signing up to take part both in the UK and elsewhere.

First launched in 2013, Dry January® was the brainchild of Emily Robinson from Alcohol Change UK (formerly known as Alcohol Concern).

Speaking about its launch, Emily Robinson, now CEO of London Sport, said: “The idea of the Dry January® campaign first came to me after I decided to sign up for my first half-marathon. I wanted to be fitter and healthier, and I knew alcohol makes it harder to get up every day and train. So I decided, just for one month, to give up alcohol in January.

“The mental and physical results were amazing. I slept better, had more energy, lost weight, and saved money.

“I also found that friends and colleagues were completely fascinated by my experiment, and more and more people wanted to speak to me about it. So, when I joined Alcohol Change UK (formerly Alcohol Concern) in 2012, I shared the idea with colleagues asking everyone to join in with taking a month off booze in January.

“Ten years on, it’s wonderful to see how Dry January® has become the huge phenomenon it is today. I’m incredibly proud of the campaign and would encourage any-one who’s interested in feeling happier and healthier to give it a try.”

Dry January® officially launched in January 2013. For that first year, 4,000 people signed up to take part. Since then, Dry January® has grown in popularity with over 130,000 people sign-ing up to take part with Alcohol Change UK in 2022. 

Evidence shows Dry January® is an effective and lasting way to cut down. Research by the University of Sussex2 published in 2020 found that those signing up to take part in Dry January® using Alcohol Change UK’s free Try Dry app and/or coaching emails are twice as likely to have a completely alcohol-free month, compared to those who try to avoid alcohol on their own in January, and have significantly improved wellbeing and healthier drinking six months later. 

Ailar Hashemzadeh, Director of Research and Public Affairs at Alcohol Change UK, said: “Over the past few years, things have been incredibly tough for so many people and the cost of living crisis is making things even tougher. This has led to a growing number of us finding our drinking creeping up, particularly for those of us who were drinking more heavily to start with.

“Since its launch 10 years ago, Dry January® has provided a brilliant opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people to take a break from drinking and have a total reset.

“It helps you break habits you’ve fallen into and make long-term changes for the better. It can help to relieve anxiety and helps you remember that you don’t need alcohol to have fun, relax, celebrate, unwind or anything else. It puts you back in control of your drinking.

“If you’d like to reset your relationship with alcohol, give Dry January® a try by down-loading the free Try Dry® app or sign up at dryjanuary.org.uk. It could be the spark you need for a happier and healthier 2023.”

Those taking part in Dry January® get access to all of the free tools and resources from Alco-hol Change UK, from its Try Dry app to its daily motivational emails.  

We'd encourage anyone who's interested in resetting their relationship with alcohol to down-load the free Try Dry® app. You can use it year-round to check your units, calories and money saved, and earn badges as you go.

How to take part in Dry January®

Download the free Try Dry® app via the App Store or Google Play. Via Try Dry® you will be able to receive optional daily coaching emails. Alternatively, you can sign up for just the email coaching programme at dryjanuary.org.uk.

Try Dry® allows people to track their units, calories and money saved not drinking, plus set personalised goals and earn badges year-round. People who take part in Dry January®, whether online or via Try Dry®, are twice as likely to spend the whole the month alcohol-free, despite being heavier drinkers to start with (de Visser and Nicholls, 2020).

(EDITOR: However, That's Food and Drink would like to point out that if you are alcohol dependent (or know someone who is alcohol dependent) and wish to participate in Dry January please check with your own Doctor beforehand to make sure that you can safely participate as suddenly stopping all alcohol intake for someone who is dependent on alcohol can cause severe health problems.)
