    Harriet, from [The Glassworks](https://www.iconinc.co.uk/locations/leeds-the-glassworks), gives us the low-down on going vegan as a student... Thinking of going vegan? What if I told you that it’s a lot easier, tastier and cheaper than you’d imagine (so basically the perfect student diet)? When I first turned vegan I was definitely more influenced by animal rights activism and speciesism. If you haven’t come across speciesism before, it’s really interesting, it’s how humans treat some species of animals more morally than others. But the longer I’ve been vegan for, the more I’ve realised that this diet really is one of the simplest things you can do as an individual to help preserve the planet for future generations. To inspire your plant-based journey, check out my top vegan food picks for students. This list should solve your snacking dilemmas and make meal prep totally hassle-free.

    Up your vegan meal game with:

    Strong Roots

    I'm yet to try something from Strong Roots that I don't love. I always have their spinach bites with roast dinners and their vegetable fries with burgers as a healthy alternative to chips. You can pick them up in the freezer aisle of all major supermarkets and they're really affordable. Obviously, in an ideal world, we would all tuck into amazing home cooked meals from scratch every night, but who really has the time for that? Definitely not us students! That's why I think these products are a real game changer for vegans. Card
