Vegan Food Market to Witness Swift Growth Based on Increasing Awareness About Health Benefits Till 2025 | Million Insights – PRNewswire
Posted: May 26, 2020 at 8:46 pm
FELTON, California, May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - The global Vegan Food Market is expected to grow with a CAGR of 9.6% over the forecast period to reach USD 24.06 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Million Insights. The rise in a number of vegan populations coupled with growing awareness about the health benefits of vegan food is the key factor driving the market.
In the recent past, the consumption of plant-based food has increased significantly, primarily driven by health benefits. Increasing consumption of vegan foods among celebrities has created a mass appeal and consumers are increasingly adopting it. Countries such as the United States, Canada, China, Ireland and U.K have a considerable number of vegan populations that in turn aiding in the growth of the market.
Meat substitutes accounted for a considerable market share, in 2018. Among different meat substitutes, Seitan is projected to grow with the highest CAGR owing to the presence of high protein content. Other meat substitutes such as tofu and tempeh have comparatively low protein content. Further, the introduction of various new products in developed regions such as Europe and North America over the past few years is also fueling the growth of meat substitutes. A British food brand, Linda McCartney Foods introduced meat-free sausages, in April 2019, it was made from pea protein. Various other companies such as Grill'd, Danone and others also followed a similar suit.

Venus Williams Eats Mostly Plant-Based or Vegan, and You Can Too – The Beet
Posted: at 8:46 pm
Tennis star, businesswoman and all-around American icon Venus Williams says she eats a mostly vegan diet. It's something that she started back in 2011 when she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease calledSjogren's Syndrome; she realized that drastically changing her diet could help alleviate her symptoms.
Now 39, Williams says that being mostly plant-based or vegan helps herdial back the symptoms of debilitating joint pain and fatigue."I started eating raw and vegan for health reasons," Venus told Women's Health in a recent interview. "I needed to fuel my body in the best way possible."
Venus champion sister Serena Williams, and her husband Alexis Ohanian, both embrace a plant-based lifestyle as well. Ohanian said he does it to be a better father to their daughter Olympia, and he even joined an all-star lineup as executive producer of The Game Changers documentary about athletes who perform better on a plant-based diet.
Serena told Bon Appetit that she cleaned up her diet and started eating vegan when her sister Venus was diagnosed with Sjogren. She said that together, they learned to eat lots of raw foods and smoothies. While they do eat mostly plant-based foods, they both say they do cheat one in a while, calling themselves chegans recognizing they are not perfect and its ok to allow some room to be imperfect. "I try to make the majority of my meals raw and vegan, but Im only human and am known to cheat a little bit, says Serena.
So what does a day in the life of Venus vegan eating look like? Weve pulled out some of her go-to meals and snacks and created a short meal guide that will help you eat just like Venus.
Breakfast
Venus says she is not a morning person but keeps it light with a protein shake or smoothie. Especially since she trains in the morning, she doesn't want to eat a big meal. Serena also puts this into practice. Her husband Ohanian told GQ that his wife taught him the benefits of working out on an empty stomach to burn more fat and get more afterburn; he now follows his wife's lead and waits to refuel after.
Breakfast inspo:
Lunch
Venus says she is often busy between training and business meetings and often needs something quick or that she can eat quickly. "Depending on how much time I have for lunch and what my schedule looks like, lunch can vary from sweet potatoes and rice to a green smoothie," she says.
Lunch Inspo:
Snacks:
"Im often running from multiple practices to meetings for EleVen or calls with my design company, V Starr, so I am always looking for little things that are easy to bring on-the-go," she explained to Womens Health. She says she grabs a bar from CLIF when super busy for a small-but-mighty quick fill-up. Venus also opts for snacks loaded with greens and veggies like kale chips, green juices and smoothies.
Snack Inspo:
Dinner
At night, Venus goes for a salad or something that is easy to whip up. Her go-to is a homemade vegan caesar salad. She also tries to keep it light on the sweets, especially when training but keeps it real admitting that sometimes a girl just needs a donut!" We second that Venus!

We Tried Almost 100 Vegan Cheeses to Find the Best Ones – Yahoo Lifestyle

We Tried Almost 100 Vegan Cheeses to Find the Best Ones
The best vegan cheeses prove that dairy isnt necessary for a gooey grilled cheese, a steaming mac 'n' cheese recipe, or a decadent slice of pizza. And while the Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen loves the real deal (we'll take cheese any way it's served!), we found the best vegan cheese choices that could convince even a dairy lover that animal milk isnt necessary.
So why vegan cheese? It can be made from a variety of ingredients, like soy, coconut, and tree nuts, which are blended then fermented to give the final product a little bit of funk, like youd find in a slice of dairy-full cheese. It's a good substitute for those with certain dietary restrictions or who prefer to partake in a vegan diet. And, depending on the base of your vegan cheese, it can be higher in fiber and vitamins than regular cheese.
We tried more than 80 vegan cheeses to find our faves so you can add them to your cheesy routine, and whether you're trying to melt a slice for a crispy, crunchy vegan grilled cheese, on the hunt to swap out the dairy in your go-to lasagna recipes, or even searching for a cheese to top your favorite crackers (gluten-free or otherwise), these sliced, shredded, and creamy vegan cheese options will give you plenty of variety to add to your everyday diet.

Venus Williams’ Diet Is Primarily Raw And Vegan, But She Calls Herself A ‘Chegan’ – Women’s Health
Posted: at 8:46 pm
It's not an exaggeration to say Venus Williams, who went pro at 14-years-old, changed the face of tennisand she's not slowing down anytime soon.
Now 39, the tennis champion and entrepreneur (who has seven Grand Slam titles and two companies under her belt) continues to perform at an elite level on all fronts. These days, she puts most of her energy into her activewear line, EleVen, which is all about empowering women to kill it on and off the court.
How does Venus keep her endless hot streak going, though? She says her diet deserves a lot of the credit.
"I started eating raw and vegan for health reasons," Venus tells Women's Health. "I needed to fuel my body in the best way possible." (She's previously opened up about having Sjogren's syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that comes with fatigue, muscles aches, and joint pain.) "Knowing how important a role my diet plays keeps me on track," she says.
Venus leaves room for a little flexibility, though. "I try to make the majority of my meals raw and vegan, but Im only human and am known to cheat a little bit. I joke that Im a 'chegan' because sometimes Ive been known to stray."
Here's exactly what the tennis legend eats to fuel her training and entrepreneurial ventures.
For Venus, mornings are focused on training. "Im not a morning person or a big breakfast eater," Venus tells Women's Health. "I do need some fuel to get me going, but find it hard to scarf down a big meal first thing when I wake up, so Ill usually have something light like fruit or a protein shake."
This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
Since Venus' calendar is often jam-packed during the day, she switches up her lunch as needed, often opting for mobile meals like smoothies when time is tight. "Depending on how much time I have for lunch and what my schedule looks like, lunch can vary from sweet potatoes and rice to a green smoothie," she says.

"Eating is part of the job when Im competing, so I make sure to get some protein and carbs," she says. "After a match, Ill usually have a protein shake with a plant-based milk and protein powder and then eat a real meal shortly after."
Snacks (and lots of them!) also help Venus get through hectic days. "Im often running from multiple practices to meetings for EleVen or calls with my design company, V Starr, so I am always looking for little things that are easy to bring on-the-go," she says. "Clif Bars are great when Im super busy; they are small-but-mighty and fill me up quickly." (Venus is a Clif Bar athlete, but she's been a fan since long before the deal.)
Otherwise, Venus loads her snacks with greens and veggies. "You'll often find me snacking on kale chips in meetings," she says. "Green juice and smoothiesand protein shakes, if I'm coming straight from practiceare also my go-tos. I need foods that are tasty and convenient, but still pack a punch and keep me going, whether Im on the court or in a meeting."
In the evening, Venus usually goes for a salad. "For dinner, I love vegan Caesar salads because they are super easy," Venus told Women's Health. "I can whip it up quickly whether Im at home or in a hotel room at a tournament."
Venus isn't the only one on the vegan train. These other icons swear by eating only plants, too:
Venus' sweet tooth might rival her powerful swing, but she's found healthy swaps to satisfy it with. "When Im training I really try to practice self-control, but sometimes a girl just needs a donut!" she says. "I have found its easier to curb those cravings by finding foods that are still sweet but also healthy, like a juice or a smoothie." Okay, Venus may really be the smoothie queen.
One of her favorite smoothies: a "Green-Colada," which she makes with pineapple, canned coconut milk, coconut oil, a little vanilla flavoring, and kale. "Sometimes Ill have some fun and put a rum or prosecco floater on top," she says. "Work hard, play hard!"
Venus' ultimate eating MO: "It's all about moderation. Life is too short to not love what youre eating." Right on, Venus. Right on.

Panel of Judges Blind Taste-Tested 15 Vegan Products to Reveal Best Plant-Based Burger in the UK – vegconomist – the vegan business magazine

Panel of Judges Blind Taste-Tested 15 Vegan Products to Reveal Best Plant-Based Burger in the UK
Fifteen plant-based burgers had their identities hidden and were served to a panel of testers at Good Housekeeping in the UK, with each burger being judged on its appearance, aroma, taste, and texture. The tested burgers came from several UK supermarkets as well as respected brands such as Vivera and Biona.
Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, in addition to winning Bronze at the Free From Awards 2020, Lidls W/O Meat Vegan Burger came number one in the Best Veggie Burger category. The burgers retail for just 1.99 and were regarded as superior to brands renowned for quality such as Waitrose and Marks and Spencer.
The Lidl burger scored 84/100 and came with these comments: An authentic meat substitute with a thick and juicy bite, we loved the earthy beetroot and mushroom flavour and the subtle kick from the light spices. A substantial size, it had a lovely smoky aroma akin to being char-grilled on a BBQ.
Runners up were:
In 2nd place the M&S Plant Kitchen The No Beef Burger which retails in-store only, 3.50 for 320g.
In 3rd: Biona Sweet Potato Buckwheat Burger via Planet Organic, 4.40 for 160g.
4th Aldi with its Plant Menu BBQ Jackfruit Burgers available in-store only, 1.79 for 240g
5th Waitrose & Partners Vegan Jackfruit Burger available in stores and online from Waitrose & Partners, 2.99 for 200g.
6th Morrisons 4 Spicy Bean Burgers available in stores and online, 1.35 for 454g.
7th Tesco Wicked Kitchen 2 Jalapeno Griller Patties available in stores and online, 3 for 226g.
8th Vivera 2 Veggie Burgers available via supermarket stores and online, 2.69 for 200g.

This Vegan CBD Chocolate Is the Stress Buster You Need Right Now – LIVEKINDLY
Posted: at 8:45 pm
Chocolate is more than just an indulgent treat. It can help take the edge off of stress. Really. Studies show that regularly eating at least 70 percent dark chocolate may improve mood. And thats more important than you might think. Experts say high levels of stress (ie, bad moods) can cause headaches, irritability, and insomnia. But stress may be a precursor to other, more serious health conditions such as hypertension, according to the American Psychological Association.
Chocolate isnt the only stress buster of the botanical world. CBD, short for cannabidiol, is believed to alleviate stress and insomnia, though further research is needed. CBD is the second-most prevalent component of the cannabis plant after THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). Unlike THC, CBD doesnt give you a body or mind high.
Vegan chocolate brand Momos CBD founder and CEO Mo George-Payette set out to combine the health attributes of CBD and cacao (chocolate) for the perfectly delicious treat with benefits. With more than 33 years of experience in the natural products industry, she founded her company with simple guidelines: use only high-quality, ethically-sourced, non-GMO, and sustainable ingredients, and make them organic when possible.
Momos CBD hits all of those points. The vegan bars are made with 70 percent non-GMO Fair Trade cacao sourced from a co-op in the San Martin region of Peru. The collective is made up of small farms.
Knowing that our cacao is verified Fair Trade is crucial to ensure that the farmers producing the cacao are paid fairly and also treated ethically/respectfully for the hands-on manual labor that it takes to produce it, George-Payette tells LIVEKINDLY. This lends itself to helping to better their lives and create an amazing partnership.
George-Payette takes pride in the fact that the company is supporting farmers livelihoods by purchasing from a co-op.
The beauty of this sourcing, says George-Payette, is that we have a direct positive impact on their lives and sustainability of their communities for future generations.
She is also committed to using the best ingredients available. Every shipment of cacao is tested for purity to ensure that only the highest-quality beans are made into chocolate.
Momos bars are infused with non-GMO full-spectrum hemp CBD oil grown on a Colorado farm.
Each Momos CBD chocolate bar features 40mg of CBD and each batch is lab-tested for potency.
One bar comes with four squares of 10mg vegan CBD chocolate. According to George-Payette, you can enjoy it one square at a time or you can eat the entire bar in one sitting.
Momos CBD makes four flavors of chocolate bars, which are hand-crafted in small batches.
Almond features organic roasted Mediterranean almonds and a sprinkle of sea salt. Himalayan Pink Salt mixes smooth dark chocolate with a light sprinkle of pink salt crystals. Mint Cacao Crunch contrasts peppermint with crunchy cacao nibs. Vanilla Raspberry features tangy berries with creamy vanilla.
The brand also recently introduced vegan lip balm made from ethically traded coconut oil, plus cacao butter and hemp-derived CBD. Like the chocolates, its handmade in small batches.
Cacao is an amazing superfood known as Food of the Gods, says George-Payette. She adds that combined with the benefits of CBD, Momos CBD chocolate bars deliver a powerful synergistic dance for your taste buds that you feel at first bite. Its like a portable cacao ceremony, she says.

Is Paris Hilton Vegan? She Invests in Plant-Based Company. – The Beet
Posted: at 8:45 pm
Paris Hilton is one of the many celebrities to invest in a vegan start-up company, and we think "that's hot." as Paris Hilton would say.Hilton joined a group of other notable names on the roster of newinvestors in the parent company of Good Catch, a plant-based seafood brand, best known for itsvegan tuna, which The Beet had a chance to taste at last summer's Plant-Based Expo. We can tell you: It is delicious.
Joining the famous hotel heiress and one-time reality TV starin betting onGood Catch include investors Woody Harrelson, Shailene Woodley, and Lance Bass. "The company previously raised $36.8 million in a Series B financing round, and with the additional influx of funds is looking to expand its international distribution and product line," according to Totally Vegan Buzz.
So with this new venture, it begs the question: Is Paris Hilton Vegan?
The answer is no, not yet anyway. She recently launched aYouTube series calledCooking with Parisand the icons arelittle dancing fruits and vegetables.But don't be fooled by several sources that sayshe's vegetarian or plant-based:Hilton was spotted making lasagna with meat and an entire bowl of cheese.
However, weapplaudthe House of Wax star for having any association with veganism and investing in a plant-based startup. And just maybetasting Good Catch's crab cakes will spur her tobecome vegan. Or it could bethat she makes the leapafter eating Good Catch's plant-based tuna made with chickpeas,lentils, and algae oil, which gives a seafood flavor and is high in Omega-3. (For tuna lovers, this stuff isincredible.) Good Catch also has plans tointroduce a line offrozen meals and other delicious seafood products that includeplant-based crab cakes, plant-based Thai fish cakes, and plant-based fish burgers.
"Im excited to work with a food brand like Good Catch that leads with taste and aligns with my personal beliefs of making a difference for the animals and our planet," saysWoody Harrelson, devout vegan of 30 years.
Shailene Woodley adds, As an advocate for conservation, our planet, and its oceans, I work with organizations around the world to help combat climate change and protect our oceans from pollution. Thats why aligning with Good Catch feels like a natural extension of my continued work. They are a like-minded brand that is doing their part to have a positive impact on our oceans and our planet, all while creating delicious plant-based seafood alternatives. Im excited to see what innovative products they come up with next.
Recently Good Catch announced a distribution deal with Bumble Bee and a round of financing that topped $32 million, and the company stands t change the seascape for vegan fish alternatives. Meanwhile the public is moving away from tuna since it carries a heavy mercury load, and consumer awareness has made consumers avoid tuna since the fishing methods are threatening other species like dolphins and whales that get caught in the nets.
Good Catch only sells vegan Fish-Free Tuna as of right now, available in different flavors, the Mediterranean, Naked in Water, and Oil & Herbs. The tuna is only 90 calories per pouch and has 14 grams of plant-based protein. They sell products in over 4,500 retail outlets in the US and UK. Find them on Amazon, Target, and Thrive Market and make delicious vegan recipes like a tuna sandwich, salad nicoise, or tuna fish patties. Click here to make your purchase.
