Marks and Spencer has launched a vegetarian range just in time for World Vegan Month in November.

Suitable not only for vegans and vegetarians , M&S Veggie is ideal for anyone avoiding or cutting down their meat consumption.

The range features 13 products including edamame bean burgers, beetroot falafel and sweet potato steak and for the first time two plant-based soy proteins - Veggie Chunks - designed to replace chicken in recipes and Veggie Mince - an alternative to beef mince.

The two soy proteins are exclusive to M&S and an exciting addition to M&S's increasing vegetarian repertoire.

Katie Squire, M&S product developer said: "We have been in a mission to find the tastiest plant-based alternatives to meat and we are very excited to be finally launching these products.

"They have been scientifically developed to replicate meat in terms of taste, texture and even smell, appealing to those taking a 'flexitarian' approach to meat reduction for health and ethical/ sustainable reasons."

The soy proteins are high in protein, low in calories and also gluten-free.

The sweetcorn and chickpea burgers and edamame bean burgers, also contain one of your five a day.
