07 Nov Ones to Watch… Meat-Free Majors
If the meat-free aisle once felt like a sad fridge of soggy soy impersonators, the tide is officially turning. This year’s new launches are giving plant-based living a much-needed glow-up – and each and every one has Product of the Year written all over it…
Top of the tofu-ish types today is Better Nature’s Mediterranean Tempeh – this is straight out of Santorini. Made from fermented soybeans and infused with sun-soaked spices, it’s beautifully firm with a delicious, nutty flavour and offers 44g of protein per pack. This would be as happy in a pitta with tzatziki as it is in a power bowl with couscous and roasted veg. Forget tiny tempeh, Better Nature is coming in big, bold and bodacious.
Number two on our list – Moving Mountains’ Superfood Range – is proof that finger food can still be good for you. A three-part range, Spicy Bites, Crispy Dippers and Spicy Burgers, are packed with superfoods including chickpeas, chia and lentils – all the trendy ingredients you’ve been meaning to eat, disguised as comfort food. In fact, you truly will be moving mountains once you’re fuelled up on these healthful/protein-packed snacks! Get yours now.
Kebab shops can feel a little sad for veggies and vegans. There’s the falafel and houmous option, but you just know that grill will be covered in meat! Fortunately, innovative meat-free alternatives are cropping up across the country. Redefine Meat’s Shawarma is top of the ‘babs’ in our view. Crafted with AI-assisted precision (yes, really), this soy and wheat-based wonder mimics lamb’s tender texture and brings cumin, coriander and cinnamon to the party. Whether wrapped in flatbread or tossed in a salad, it’s a proper Friday-night flex from the comfort of your own home.
Together, these products are showing that the future of meat-free doesn’t have to mean compromise – or complicated cooking instructions. It can be punchy, playful, and positively packed with personality. So, if your plant-based plans have wilted under the weight of bland burgers, consider this your sign to get back in the game.
Meat-free’s having its main character moment, but will it star at Product of the Year Awards 2026?
