LOCO, the new Scandinavian revolution

LOCO is a project launching a concept-store that has become every vegan’s dream: an 100% plant based grocery chain in Scandinavia. The first store will be opened in Oslo in 2021, and if all goes according to plan (fingers crossed!) the rest of Scandinavia will follow in the upcoming years.

When are plant-based meat alternatives a smart ...

In Norway there are over ten brands that make several plant-based meat alternatives. Among them we find burgers, mince, sausages, nuggets, and veggieballs. This is ideal for anyone that wants to reduce meat consumption or quit animal products.

New Naturli Café: Here’s Why You Will Love It ...

Last month Naturli opened its first plant-based café in Oslo. Located in Skøyen -it’s extremely easy to get there by public transport-, all their meals are made with their own products. They are open 7-17 (10-16) and the menu includes smoothie bowls, salad bowls and burgers.

Eating our way through Oslo Vegetarfestival!

Oslo Vegetarfestival is always something we look forward to & this year was no exception! The sun shone and we enjoyed eating our way through all the different food stands & dipping in to the free samples on offer!

The annual event held at Kuba park is always a haven for food lovers seeking plant-based delights. This year showcased a diverse range of vegan cuisine, many from our favourite Oslo based restaurants such as Monsun, Eat Happy Vegan, Håndbakt + Nordvegan. We were also very happy to see our personal favourite, Vafleriet, return to the festival with both delicious Belgian waffles and soft serve icecream. The festival is also a great place for eco friendly shopping and this year Oslo Vegetarfestival boasted a whopping 57 stands with everything from zero waste products, cosmetics, sweet treats, clothes and information stands from campaigning organisations.

The festival also offered some engaging workshops and demonstrations by experts, providing valuable insights into plant-based cooking and sustainable living. The highlight for us was vegan chefs from BOSH! who visited from the UK.

We can’t wait for next year already!

3 Different Ways of Vegan Activism. Which One Is for You?

First steps towards vegan activism tend to happen at the beginning of becoming vegan, when you are overwhelmed by all the information and you feel the urge to take action and surround yourself with like-minded people. Whether your reason to be vegan is due to animal rights, to improve your health or because of the planet, you can do your bit and be the change you want to see in the world.

What’s New?

You may have noticed we have had some (a lot!) downtime on the blog. We’re a small group of volunteers and we’ve fallen behind with keeping the blog updated. Over the next few months, you will see a lot more content from us. We’ll be discussing vegan activism, reviewing restaurants and products and updating you all as to what we are up to with the app.
