Loved this tofu scramble 🌱
Quick, easy & full of flavour. It fuelled me before lectures and got some veg in at breakfast.

A different take on vegan eggs from the soya ‘boiled egg’ I tried at 📍Newcastle Vegan Festival. I’d make this again!

🚨Budget friendly recipe price🚨:
Scrambled tofu on toast for roughly £1.25 a serving 🌱🍞

Perfect for a vegan student on a budget!💸

I split a £1.95 pack of @Tesco firm tofu into 3 (65p each)

Tofu on toast for a pre-lecture student breakfast? I gave scrambled tofu a go at home 🍞

Would I make it again? Was it #budgetfriendly? How quick was it?

I’ll tell all in the following posts…

Flatmate day out idea🚂💡

Metro to Whitley Bay (£3), wander along the seafront then head to local chippy for @PETAUK's 'best vegan dish'!

Local chippy in📍Whitley Bay won best vegan fish in global organisation #PETA's 2026 Vegan Food Awards🥇

Love this! 🌱 Spend over £7 at the bar (on anything) on a Tuesday and get a free meal. Ideal for a flatmate catch-up when the student budget’s looking tight 🍻 This week they are doing neopolitan pizza!

📍The Tyne Bar, Ouseburn

Walking through one of Newcastle’s busiest student areas, #Jesmond and stumbled across this #vegan cafe inside of a church⛪️🍎

Has anyone ever tried it?

📍Laylas Kitchen Cafe, Jesmond

[The Skint Vegan @nclstudentveats]

It may not be price focused, but this is a great article from @OnlyNewc about great #vegan spots in #Newcastle

However, they do recommend some good spots in 📍Grainger Market... maybe that should be our next ⭐️location spotlight⭐️
