Following the eating and drinking marathon of Christmas and New Year, many will be looking forward to a break from the buffets and booze. Some will embrace the start of 2024 by signing up to a new gym or cutting back on alcohol, others may be thinking about going plant-based for Veganuary.
If you haven’t come across it before, the Veganuary campaign challenges people to go vegan for the month of January by cutting out meat, dairy and other animal-derived products. It’s been running for ten years now and has already inspired more than one million people to try going plant-based for the first 31 days of the new year.
For some it’s a chance to dip their toes into all things vegan before making the plunge, and others it’s a chance to move away from meat consumption - whether for health reasons, animal welfare or environmental causes. Lucky for us, there’s a number of fully vegan restaurants across Greater Manchester, as well as eateries introducing more vegan options - so whether you’re just giving it a go for January, or it’s a long-term lifestyle change, the spots below have you covered.
