For my lovely followers who are trying to keep up with Slimming World and take part in “Veganuary” too.. this super amazing “unofficial” recipe is for you. I find myself becoming more and more tempted by vegan food, mainly because it’s just damn tasty. When I was a teen my best friend was vegan and her mum used to make us the most amazing veggie burgers. Ever since, I have been trying to recreate the recipe.. I have almost hit the nail on the head with this recipe, it’s so tasty, filling and Syn free* using your Healthy extra B.
