Vegan Food Finds: May 2026
Nature’s Kitchen Plant-Based Range
Where to buy: Coles
With the beloved Bird’s Eye vegan range disappearing from shelves, Nature’s Kitchen has swooped in at the eleventh hour to fill the chicken-tender-shaped hole in our hearts. The new plant-based range features a huge variety of freezer-friendly products that are almost a perfect dupe for the discontinued Bird’s Eye range, featuring everything from chicken-style tenders, schnitzels, and nuggets to plant-based lamb strips and meatballs.
Daring Plant Chicken
Where to buy: Woolworths
The cult-favourite US vegan chicken brand has now officially landed in Australia — and we are excited! Tender, juicy and available in Cajun or Original flavours, this popular chicken alternative is known for its spookily accurate texture and flavour. This new product is still hot off the press, so keep an eye out for it at your local Woolworths!
Gevity Good-Stachio Pistachio Spread
Where to buy: Woolworths
Pistachio is still having a major moment, and now, vegans can join in the hype! This dairy-free pistachio spread is rich, nutty and alarmingly moreish — drizzle it over dessert, spread it on toast, or simply spoon it straight from the jar.
Coles Snack Apple Pies
Where to buy: Coles
Tiny accidentally vegan apple pies? We are listening. Just in time for winter, these quick and easy snack apple pies feature flaky pastry, a classic cinnamon-apple filling, and are just begging to be served with some Blue Ribbon Plant-Based Creamy Vanilla Ice Cream.
Your Condiment Co. Ranch Dressing
Where to buy: Woolworths
Ranch is one of those iconic sauces that can be kinda hard to find in Australia anyway — add the word “vegan” into the mix, and you might as well just make your own, pal. This accidentally vegan ranch is creamy, tangy and perfectly herbed. Eat it with chips, burgers, salads, wraps or anything else capable of transporting dressing from plate to mouth.
Impossible Sausages
Where to buy: Woolworths
Impossible keeps expanding its Aussie lineup, and these sausages might be one of the brand’s strongest releases yet. Smoky, juicy, and surprisingly meaty, they deliver classic sausage sizzle energy.
Vegan Food Finds: April 2026
Samyang Spicy Buldak Dumplings
Where to buy: Coles
These fiery dumplings are here to play around. Loaded with bold buldak flavour and delivering some serious heat, they’ve already built a loyal fan club among spice-loving vegans online.
Fry’s Chicken Nuggets
Where to buy: Coles
Who doesn’t love a chicken nugget? While this product isn’t new per se, it is new to Coles! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, Fry’s vegan nuggets hit that nostalgic, comfort food flavour and texture that many of us grew up with.
Kimbap Fried Tofu & Burdock Sushi Roll
Where to buy: Coles
Convenience lunches for vegans are ramping up! This ready-made kimbap is ideal for those days when you just need to grab and go — but still want to get some nutrients in.
Minor Figures Churros Oat Milk
Where to buy: Woolworths
Churros-flavoured oat milk: all things chaotic and iconic rolled into one. Sweet and cinnamon-heavy with that classic creamy oat milk texture, it basically turns your morning coffee into a dessert.
Woolworths Caramelised Biscuit Ice Cream
Where to buy: Woolworths
Biscoff-style flavours continue their unstoppable reign — and this dairy-free ice cream definitely deserves a spot in your freezer. Creamy, caramel-y, and packed with bits of biscuit, it tastes far more luxurious than its supermarket price tag suggests.
Arnott’s Choc Chip Cookies
Where to buy: Woolworths
Accidentally vegan supermarket finds truly never lose their thrill. These choc chip cookies have a homemade-style flavour and crumbly texture that’s perfect for dipping in your evening cuppa. (Hot tip: if you prefer a softer choc chip cookie, open the bag and leave them for a day or two to make them ooey gooey).
Bibigo Vegetable & “Pork” Flavoured Bao Buns
Where to buy: Woolworths
Soft, fluffy bao buns filled with plant-based minced pork meat?! Get in my freezer immediately! They’re easy to prepare, quick to heat, and surprisingly fresh and fluffy for a frozen option.
Vegan Food Finds: March 2026
Coles Lemon & Raspberry Tarts
Where to buy: Coles
These bright little tarts taste both nostalgic and fancy at the same time. The combination of sharp lemon, sweet raspberry and I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-buttery pastry makes them dangerously easy to demolish in one sitting.
Sacla Free From Tomato Pesto
Where to buy: Woolworths & Coles
Finally: a rich supermarket pesto that skips the dairy. Packed full of tomato flavour, this vegan pesto will instantly upgrade any lazy pasta dinner.
Denada Cappuccino Fudge Ice Cream
Where to buy: Coles
Coffee and ice-cream lovers unite! This creamy cappuccino ice cream with thick fudgy swirls feels more like an expensive café dessert than a supermarket ice cream tub. Plus, it’s low carb and 99% sugar free!
Kez’s Kitchen Caramelised Biscuit Cinnamon Creams
Where to buy: Woolworths & Coles
Imagine Biscoff biscuits and cinnamon doughnuts had a very delicious vegan baby… Well, that imaginary baby has become a reality! These caramel-cinnamon sandwich biscuits are sweet, spiced and filled with a luxurious plant-based buttercream.
COYO Strawberry Frozen Yoghurt
Where to buy: Woolworths
This coconut-based frozen yoghurt delivers all the joy of dessert while feeling a little lighter than traditional ice cream, and the strawberry flavour adds an extra pop of fruity freshness. Plus, it’s packed with healthy pre- and probiotics!
Haldiram’s Minute Khana Aloo Paratha
Where to buy: Coles & Woolworths
If you’re looking for an easy, fragrant side or snack you can whip up in minutes, these stuffed potato parathas are for you. Simply crisp up in a pan and serve them on the side of your favourite curry — or eat them on their own paired with chutney or pickle.
