Just because you are vegan, doesn’t mean you have to miss out on junk food.

If you are missing fried chicken, there is a great vegan solution coming.

For Plant Power Day, Alpro is launching a Plant Based Bucket, a traditional twist on a fried chicken and chips meal.

There’s mushroom nuggets, sweet potato fries and a creamy garlic dip.


The packaging is made from a combination of nuts, seeds and spices and you can eat chunks of it with your meal.

It will be available on Deliveroo customers in London and Manchester for £5 tomorrow.

‘We’re launching ‘PBB’ to show the nation what’s possible using the amazing power of plants,’ says Stephanie Balsom-Eynon, head of Plant Power and chief ‘bucket’ taster at Alpro.



‘We’ve used a tasty mix of mushrooms and Alpro Almond Unsweetened drink to make the ‘nuggets’, and the sweet potato fries are the perfect blend of fluffy and crispy.

‘The bucket has a crunchy base made using a tasty mix of fennel seeds, nigella seeds, sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds – meaning it’s sort of like a crispbread. It’s deliciously moreish, and really is good enough to eat; especially when paired with the Alpro-based creamy garlic dip.

‘We’ve always said that the future of food is plant-based, because this way of eating is good for people, and good for the planet – and now, thanks to Alpro, plant-based could be the future for takeaways too.

‘For us, it’s even more exciting to bring this ‘world first’ to life on Plant Power Day, because we created this day to encourage people to add more plants to their plates and see how tasty and exciting easy it can be.

‘Hopefully, in launching PBB, we will inspire even the most carnivorous Deliveroo customers to give plant-based eating a try – on Plant Power Day, and beyond.’
