Vegan Shopping Basket – The Best Vegan Crisps

Pringles Texas BBQ

I'd probably get handed my p45 if I didn't include a homage to the team's favourite crisps. There's always at least three cans floating around the office, as well as the other vegan-friendly flavours including Original, Sweet Chilli, Paprika, and Smokey Bacon.
