Let’s face it – some days we want food that’s fast, familiar, and fuss-free. Whether you are brand new to eating plant-based or just looking for quick ideas, this blog is for you. 

Going vegan (or halfway) doesn’t mean fancy ingredients or hours in the kitchen. In fact, many of the tastiest, most satisfying meals are built around simple, affordable staples you probably already have. 

Here are some easy vegan eats to keep in your rotation – no complicated recipes, just good food that hits the spot. 

Pasta is your plant-based best friend. Just pair it with: 

• Tomato & lentil sauce 

• Pesto + roasted veg 

• Garlic, olive oil, and chili flakes for a quick aglio e olio 

• Peanut sauce and stir-fried veg for satay-style noodles 

Top with nutritional yeast or vegan parm if you’re feeling fancy! 

Curry pastes and spice mixes make dinner easy: 

Fry some onion, add curry paste, then stir in coconut milk, chickpeas, and frozen veggies. 

Serve with rice or naan for a comforting, protein-packed meal. 

Switch it up with Thai, Indian, or Caribbean flavours – they’re all delicious. 

Pro tip: Keep a tin of coconut milk and a jar of curry paste in the cupboard at all times. You’re never far from dinner. 

Think beyond cheese and pickle (though we love that too). Try: 

• Smoky hummus, grated carrot, and avocado 

• Leftover roasted veggies + vegan pesto 

• Tofu or tempeh “bacon” with tomato and lettuce 

• Chickpea “tuna” salad (mashed chickpeas, vegan mayo, lemon, mustard, and chopped celery) 

Pair with a handful of crisps or some soup for the ultimate lunch combo. 

Plant-based doesn’t have to mean a plate full of sides. Try: 

• Chilli non carne (beans, tinned tomatoes, spices, and veg) 

• Vegan stew with lentils and root veg 

• Stir-fry with tofu and noodles 

• Rice bowls with beans, salsa, avocado, and lime 

These meals are filling, satisfying, and great for batch cooking. 

Start the day strong with: 

• Overnight oats with fruit and nut butter 

• Tofu scramble on toast 

• Smoothie with oats, banana, spinach, and plant milk 

• Avocado toast with seeds or beans for extra protein 

You don’t have to skip your favourites – just swap in plant-based options! 

Even superheroes need rest. On those “can’t be bothered” days, try: 

• Baked potato with beans and vegan cheese 

• Instant noodles + frozen stir-fry mix + soy sauce 

• Store-bought soup + crusty bread 

• Crackers, hummus, olives, and whatever’s in the fridge – snack plate dinner! 

Eating more plant-based isn’t about being perfect – it’s about finding what works for you. And if what works is a five-minute wrap or a tin of beans turned into magic, that’s a win in our book. 

Keep it simple, keep it tasty, and remember: every plant-based meal is a small win for you and the planet. 

What do you get when you cross superhero capes, a runaway beef burger, and hundreds of sizzling plant-based patties? One unforgettable campaign – and a whole lot of positive change. 

We’ve just wrapped up the Halfway Heroes Outreach Tour, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we accomplished. Across five buzzing cities, we handed out hundreds of free vegan burgers, had meaningful climate driven conversations with every person who grabbed one, and inspired hundreds of people to commit to eating 50 per cent plant-based for the planet. 

We launched our campaign with a sprint through the streets of Bristol. Our short film, The Methane Menace, introduced the world to our new campaign hero: a squad of Halfway Heroes chasing down Britain’s Most Wanted… a literal beef burger (yes, costume and all). 

The high-energy, tongue-in-cheek stunt turned heads online and on the street. But behind the comedy was a serious message: beef is one of the most environmentally destructive foods on the planet. Our video didn’t preach – it entertained, sparked conversation, and showed that even tackling climate change can start with something as simple as a burger swap. 

After the stunt, we hit the road. The Halfway Heroes Tour brought our campaign to life in city centres, high streets, and public parks where we dished out delicious, plant-based burgers – kindly donated by the incredible team at THIS™. 

But we weren’t just handing out freebies. Every burger came with a conversation. Our team spoke to students, families, commuters, and curious passersby about how small changes to your diet can make a big difference to the planet. And the response? Overwhelmingly positive. 

People loved the burgers. They listened. They asked questions. They pledged to eat more plant-based. And most importantly, they walked away feeling inspired, not judged. 

Our message is simple: you don’t need to be perfect to make a difference. Going 50 per cent plant-based is a powerful way to lower your carbon footprint and protect the planet. 

We created the Halfway Heroes campaign to be uplifting, approachable, and fun. Climate messaging often feels heavy or guilt-driven. We’re flipping that. We’re serving joy, flavour, and progress – one tasty burger at a time. 

This campaign wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our amazing community. Massive thanks to THIS™ for fuelling our mission with their mouth-watering burgers, and to our brilliant team of volunteers who brought the energy, heart, and hustle to the tour. 

And to you – our supporters, long-time vegans, and eco-warriors – thank you for getting behind our vision. We know Halfway Heroes might take a different approach, but it’s one that’s reaching people in a brand-new way. And that’s exactly what we need. 

We’re keeping the momentum going. More resources. More recipes. More digital content to help people stick with their Halfway Hero pledges. The mission continues – and it’s just getting started. 

Because saving the planet doesn’t always start with a protest. Sometimes, it starts with a burger.
