Went a bit crazy with the plant-based meats for dinner, including salmon, wings and ribs! Worth it. 🌱 #vegan #food

Tried this today. High protein and clean ingredients. 🌱 Very tasty and meaty. Only problem was it stuck to the pan a bit when frying (that may be my fault for using a shit pan). 8.5/10

Found an egg replacement with a high protein content - 35g per carton, which ain't bad! Plus, organic. 🌱

Maple Sriracha Tofu. Such an easy dish, high protein, and delicious! 🌱

(I'm aware this is slowly turning into a 'look what Chris is eating' account, so I'll try to mix up the content soon!)

Vegan breakfast bagel from #18 (Swansea). Was able to eat it as an actual sandwich for the first bite, but it was knife and fork from then on. 👌🌱

Starting the year as I mean to go on, in my favourite #vegan cafe eating all the poutine I can! 🌱

Blocked by Dairy UK over on Twitter. A good start to my Sunday, now I don't have to see their nonsense! 👍

Recently popped into Waterstones to sign copies of the 2024 edition of Swansea City Match of My Life - featuring a brand-new chapter with Ben Cabango.

Yep, they make easy Christmas gifts for #Swansea fans!
