Furious vegans have blasted a new Morrisons veggie 'BLT' sandwich saying it 'makes a mockery' of plant-based lifestyles.

The supermarket has just released its own vegan take on the famous bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, calling it the CLT - for carrot, lettuce and tomato.

A spokeswoman said: 'Morrisons has just launched a carrot, lettuce and tomato sandwich - for those looking for a twist on the classic BLT.'

Morrisons released a veggie version of the 'BLT' called the CLT (carrot, lettuce and tomato), replacing the bacon filling with 'smoky carrot strips' and costs £2.20

The CLT replaces the meat filling with 'smoky carrot strips'.

She added: 'It also includes tomatoes, lettuce and vegan mayo, all sandwiched between malted bread.'

However, vegans fumed at the £2.20 sarnie, calling it a 'disgrace'.

Vegans on Instagram page 'Vegan Food UK' posted their frustrations with the new sandwich

Lizzy Entwistle, a registered dietitian, said: 'No I can't get excited about this.

'I feel it makes a mockery of vegans.

'Can't have bacon? Here, have some carrot.'

Stevie Shepherd said: 'Not to sound ungrateful but a salad sandwich?

A Morrisons spokeswoman said the sandwich was launched for 'those looking for a twist on the classic BLT'

'No wonder everyone asks where we get our protein.'

Erin Caroline added: 'This is such a let down.

'Why can't they make a hearty, delicious, on the go sandwich?

'Apparently no vegans work for them, or there were no public surveys done with vegans, as I guarantee this would not have been suggested.'

Vicky commented: 'That's the biggest disgrace of a sandwich I've ever seen.'

But not all veggie lovers were disappointed with the carrot sarnie.

Isabella, 21, said: 'Had this yesterday.

'Please don't knock it before you try it.

'The carrot does actually taste like bacon because of how it's smoked and it's absolutely delicious.'

More and more supermarkets and restaurants are increasing their vegan offerings.

Greggs' vegan sausage roll hit the headlines when its sales skyrocketed, and now McDonald's has a vegan range.

Cardiff City recently became the first football league club to have a full vegan menu at its ground.
