With 2020 arriving, many people around Leicestershire have committed to New Year’s resolutions.
Whether that be going to the gym more or trying to stay off of your phone, there are plenty of ideas out there. One of the newer resolutions for the year or indeed just for the month of January is Veganuary.
Seeing people swap out animal produce for healthier and more sustainable food, more than half a million people have taken on Veganism for the whole month since 2014.
If you’re taking on the challenge and want some fresh and tasty alternatives to meat, why not head down to Leicester Market?
A vast array of fresh fruit and vegetable vendors are able to provide you with an endless list of exotic foods and ingredients that can assemble to create a number of great-tasting meals throughout the month.
From curries and burgers to stir-frys and amazing salads, no recipe is off limits after a trip to Leicester Market.
As a matter of fact, why not pick up an aubergine or two so you can make your own ‘zoodles’ to get your fix of pasta!
The best bit? It’s all available at truly amazing prices so not only can you do good for the planet, but also for your bank balance, too.
The vegan influence at Leicester Market does not quite end there though. As an added treat for shoppers heading into the city centre, Where To Vegan Festivals are also coming to New Market Square for 2020. Open to all and completely free to attend, the festivals take place on every second Saturday of each month between 10am and 5pm.
So, if you want some added inspiration in Veganuary or indeed for the rest of the year, whether that be ingredients or just to chat to others in the same position, make sure you come down to Leicester Market on Saturday 8 February.
Leicester Market is open every day between Monday through to Saturday, with the Outdoor Market open between 7am-6pm.
