Introducing Pancake Day with a Vegan Twist

Pancake Day, also known as Shrove Tuesday, is a traditional Christian celebration before the period of Lent. This year, Pancake Day will be celebrated on Tuesday March 5 2019. Historically, before Lent fasting took place, many people didn’t want to waste their remaining ingredients, so instead they made pancakes.

Traditionally, it is custom to eat sweet pancakes on Pancake Day but as more people are turning towards a vegan diet, you might want to consider replacing the sweet tradition with a tasty savoury, vegan alternative instead.

Health aware high street retailer, Robert Dyas is equipped with all the essentials to create delicious vegan crêpes this Pancake Day as part a plant-based diet.

Veganism has skyrocketed in recent years, with 7% of Brits now choosing to enjoy a plant-based life. According to a recent survey by comparethemarket.com there has been a significant spike in the number of people going vegan in the UK since 2016, with more than 3.5 million British people now identifying as such.*
