Strong Roots (vegan ready meals from Ireland)
Strong Roots is known more for its healthier frozen chips, but also makes a small line of ready meals. Find them in the frozen section of your local supermarket. Choose from:
- Thai green veg curry
- Vegan mac and cheese
- Veggie masala
Strong Roots is an Irish food brand that prints its carbon footprint on the packs of all its frozen meals. It specialises in frozen chips, with natural ingredients and all styles (skinny, thick-cut and crinkled). Plus chips made from sweet potatoes, hash browns and other goodies!
Although it’s good to make your own food, sometimes life gets in the way. So rather than stock up on expensive supermarket ready-meals, if you have freezer space it’s often a good idea to stock up on some good plant-based ready meals.
If you’re on a budget, just eat half and bulk up with spuds and veggies (or bread), then eat the rest the next day. Still better food, at half the price! Keep dry ice away from children and pets, and recycle any other packaging. Read more on food safety for people & pets.
Although it’s good to make your own food, if you’re going to stash the freezer with back-ups, this is the brand to go to. You can recycle all their packaging at supermarket bag bins.
It also sells some frozen vegetable sides. So again these are a good back-up to get some quick veggies into a meal, if you don’t have fresh to hand. Or to ‘hide’ veggies in meals when certain people refuse to eat them! It’s a good everyday brand that you can find in all supermarkets too, at affordable prices.
