The Vegan Kind Scoops Award For Best Online Vegan Retailer 

Vegan Food & Living Reader Awards 2022 were announced yesterday, and The Vegan Kind was chosen Best Online Vegan Retailers. Yay! We are extremely happy to be among the best vegan brands in the UK selected by the vegan community. 

Every year, thousands of readers of the UK's most popular vegan magazine vote for their favourite vegan personalities, plant-based products and brands. 

The 2022 vegan awards celebrate "the best of the newcomers, as well as those favourites that have been around for a little longer", the magazine wrote. 

Among other winners, there are many of the most popular brands that The Vegan Kind proudly stocks in its online supermarket. 

Oatly won the Best Milk Alternative brand category, which means that despite controversies that appeared last year, the brand is still the consumers' favourite and has thousands of loyal fans. 

The famous Swedish brand offers milk alternatives in a few versions, including Oatly Barista, classic and organic blend - all available to buy online through our supermarket. 

The second position in the voting and the Highly commended title went to Alpro. With only 14 votes less than the category winner, Alpro appears to have a fast growing number of fans. The brand has been building a solid position on the plant-based drinks market, regularly launching new tasty dairy-free products. The range of milks currently includes soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, hazelnut milk, coconut and rice milk and it is very popular among flexitarian customers, not only vegans. 

The Best vegan burger category winner is the amazing Beyond Burger. 

This brand doesn't need a long introduction as it is one of the biggest plant-based meat companies in the world and the most recognisable brand in the sector. Its premium plant-based burger made with pea protein resembles meat in the looks, texture, and with no compromise on flavour. It is succulent, juicy, meaty, and it tastes just like the real thing. This game-changing product makes switching to a plant-based diet much easier for all meat lovers. Forever bestseller and always in high demand in the plant-based meat category at The Vegan Kind supermarket.

Richmond won the Best vegan sausage category with its Richmond Meat-Free sausages.

These sausages are loved by the customers for their "non-crumbly texture" and succulent meaty flavour. Perfect for a vegan barbecue, hot dogs and a vegan sausage sandwich. Vegan kids will love them! 

The Best vegan chicken title went to Quorn Vegan Pieces.

Known for its wide range of vegetarian products, Quorn has been upgrading its formulas to make more products suitable for vegans. Made with mycoprotein, the chicken alternative Vegan Pieces can easily replace the traditional chicken meat in stews, pies, stir-frys, curries, wraps and many other dishes. Customers love them for realistic chicken flavour and easy cooking. 

Good Cath is the winner of the Best vegan fish category. 

Its Plant-Based Tuna Flakes, and frozen ready meals options such as Fish Sticks, Fish Burger and Crab Cakes are made with healthy beans and legumes and can successfully replace any fish dish. Great products which will help us save our oceans!

Applewood Vegan scooped the award for the Best cheese brand. 

Good quality plant-based cheese is something vegans have waited for a long time. The producers are working hard to make the plant-based cheese as realistic as possible, mimicking the flavour, texture and meltability (and it's not easy at all!). Applewood Vegan is one of the most successful vegan products in the UK. The block version, which launched in 2019, sold out within the first 24 hours. Currently, you can also buy Applewood vegan cheese slices and grated versions.

Coming on the second position as Highly commended Violife offers the largest plant-based cheese range in the UK. Its line up of cheeses includes dairy-free cheddar, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, feta, and most recently launched vegan camembert Le Rond.

The UK's market is the most dynamic market for plant-based and vegan products in Europe. According to date from Mintel, in 2019, every fourth product launched in the country was labelled vegan.
