I’ve been making this Coronation Chickpea Smash for years, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to share it! With its creamy, gently spiced dressing and hearty chickpeas, it’s one of my all-time favourite vegan sandwich fillings. Easy to make and ready in just 10 minutes, it’s perfect for busy weekdays.
Coronation Chickpea Smash is a vegan take on the classic British Coronation Chicken. The original dish was created in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and quickly became a much-loved British favourite. This plant-based version replaces the chicken with the humble chickpea, which works beautifully here thanks to its hearty texture and ability to soak up all those delicious flavours.
My favourite way to serve it is piled into a sandwich with a handful of rocket (arugula). The peppery leaves work so well with the creamy, gently spiced filling and add a lovely freshness.
It’s also become one of my family’s favourite no-cook evening meals, especially on those hot summer days when you don’t want to turn on the oven. We pile it into soft flatbreads with a layer of Greek-style plant-based yoghurt, then add plenty of rocket, crunchy cucumber, sweet vine-ripened cherry tomatoes and fresh mint. It’s fresh, vibrant and wonderfully satisfying. If we’re feeling extra hungry, we’ll often add some diced smoked tofu too. It pairs beautifully with the gently spiced curry flavours.
Quick, easy and budget-friendly, this Coronation Chickpea Smash is another delicious addition to my 3 Healthy Meals for £3 a Day series, where I share simple, nourishing plant-based recipes for everyday life.
The recipe makes 2 generous servings and costs approximately 64p per serving (or 91p per serving including bread and rocket).
Served with: 4 slices of thick bread (Tesco Seeded, 33p) Handful of rocket (Tesco, 17p)
Total: £1.82
Cost per serving: 91p
Prices are correct as of July 2026, and are based on Tesco prices as that’s where I currently do my main grocery shop.
The Good Stuff
Chickpeas – little legumes with lots to offer!
Chickpeas are one of my favourite ingredients for affordable, nourishing plant-based cooking. These humble little legumes are packed with dietary fibre and provide a good source of plant-based protein, helping to make this Coronation Chickpea Smash a satisfying and nourishing meal.
They’re also rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, potassium and folate, along with other beneficial plant compounds. Their creamy texture and ability to absorb flavours make them incredibly versatile – from curries and soups to salads, spreads and sandwich fillings like this one!
Top Tips & FAQs
Where to buy vegan mayonnaise? There are now lots of vegan mayonnaise options available in UK supermarkets. My personal favourite is Hellmann’s Plant-Based Mayo. You can also make your own vegan mayonnaise – it’s surprisingly quick, easy and cheap to make! I have a recipe for Quick & Easy Vegan Mayonnaise on the blog.
What yoghurt works best in this recipe? A thick, creamy Greek-style yoghurt works best here. I usually use Alpro Greek Style High Protein Plain. You can also use a regular plain or coconut plant-based yoghurt, though the filling will have a slightly looser consistency.
If you prefer, you can simply replace the yoghurt with extra vegan mayonnaise for a richer Coronation Chickpea Smash.
What curry powder works best? I recommend using a mild curry powder for this recipe, but different brands can vary quite a lot in flavour and strength. I usually use 3 – 4 teaspoons depending on the brand and how strong I’d like the curry flavour to be. If you’re unsure, start with 3 teaspoons and add more to taste.
Can I make this recipe without mango chutney? Mango chutney is what gives this recipe its signature sweet, fruity flavour, so I’d recommend including it if possible. If you don’t have any to hand, you could substitute with a little apricot jam or another fruity chutney.
Can I make it more protein-rich? For a protein boost, I recommend folding through some diced smoked tofu before serving. It pairs beautifully with the gently spiced curry flavours and makes it a wonderfully satisfying filling for wraps or flatbreads.
Is this recipe gluten-free? Yes! Coronation Chickpea Smash is naturally gluten-free. Simply serve it with your favourite gluten-free bread, wrap or flatbread.

Coronation Chickpea Smash
A creamy curried chickpea smash that’s perfect for sandwiches, wraps, easy lunches and no-cook evening meals. This quick and easy vegan filling is ready in just 10 minutes using simple, budget-friendly ingredients.
2TBSPGreek-style plant-based yoghurt(or substitute with extra vegan mayonnaise)
3-4tspmild curry powderadjust to taste
2TBSPmango chutney
2tspapple cider vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepperto taste
Instructions
First, plump up the sultanas by placing them in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, yoghurt, curry powder, mango chutney and apple cider vinegar. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Tip the chickpeas into the bowl and roughly mash with a potato masher, leaving plenty of texture.
Drain the sultanas and fold them through the mixture.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately or chill until ready to use.
Notes
My favourite ways to serve it:
Sandwich: Spread with a thin layer of buttery plant-based spread, and serve with a small handful of rocket (arugula). (Great for lunchboxes!)
Flatbread: Spread with a thin layer of Greek-style plant-based yoghurt, then add rocket, cucumber, sweet vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh mint and the Coronation Chickpea Smash. Fold and enjoy as a delicious, no-cook meal!
For an extra protein boost: Fold some diced smoked tofu into the filling. It pairs beautifully with the gently spiced curry flavours.
Kitchen Tip: I find the easiest way to rinse and drain chickpeas is to tip them into a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water, gently shaking or stirring them with your hand until the water runs clear. Then give the sieve a good shake to remove as much excess water as possible before adding them to the recipe. If you regularly cook with beans and lentils, a fine mesh sieve is a really useful kitchen tool to have.Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

If you’re looking for a creamy vegan spread that’s quick to make, naturally high in protein and wonderfully versatile, I think you’re going to love this Herby Tofu ‘Cream Cheese’. Made with simple, everyday ingredients, it takes just 10 minutes to prepare and is perfect for bagels, toast, sandwiches and crackers.
I’ve actually been making this recipe since I first went plant-based back in 2011, long before vegan cream cheeses became widely available in UK supermarkets. It’s wonderful to see that there are now some lovely shop-bought options to choose from (Violife is a favourite!), but I still find myself coming back to this home-made version time and time again.
Made with wholesome ingredients like tofu, fresh herbs and white miso, it’s naturally high in plant protein and lower in saturated fat than many shop-bought alternatives. Knowing exactly what’s in it means I can happily slather it onto bagels and toast to my heart’s content!
One of my favourite things about this recipe is how adaptable it is. You can use whatever fresh herbs you have on hand and tweak the flavour to suit your taste. My favourite combination is fresh basil with a sprinkling of dried dill, but fresh chives with onion powder also make a delicious combination. A sprinkling of crispy onions is lovely too.
This summer, I’ve especially loved spreading this herby tofu ‘cream cheese’ onto a toasted seeded bagel or baguette, then topping it with sweet, vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt. It’s one of those simple meals I never seem to tire of, equally perfect for a leisurely lunch or a no-cook dinner enjoyed in the garden on a warm summer evening.
It also makes a fantastic sandwich filling for lunchboxes, and is one of my favourite ways to add a little extra plant protein to a packed lunch.
Quick, easy, budget-friendly and with no fancy equipment required, this Herby Tofu ‘Cream Cheese’ fits perfectly into my 3 Healthy Meals for £3 a Day series, where I share simple, quick, affordable and delicious plant-based recipes for everyday life.

The Good Stuff
✨ Tofu forms the creamy base of this spread and is naturally rich in plant protein, healthy unsaturated fats, and minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. Tofu contains beneficial compounds called isoflavones that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and may also support hormonal balance.
✨ Fresh herbs don’t just make this cream cheese taste vibrant and fresh – they’re also packed with protective plant compounds called polyphenols, which help support our overall health. Whether you choose basil, chives or dill, each herb brings its own unique flavour and nutritional benefits.
Top Tips & FAQs
What type of tofu is best for this recipe? Firm tofu gives the creamiest texture and is my first choice for this recipe. Here in the UK, Cauldron Authentic Tofu is one of the most widely available brands, and most supermarkets also sell their own-brand firm tofu.
Extra-firm tofu (such as Tofoo) also works well, though it creates a slightly firmer texture that can be a bit grainier. I recommend adding a touch more oil and blending for a little longer to create a silky smooth spread.
Silken tofu isn’t suitable for this recipe as it contains too much water.
Do I need to press the tofu? No. Simply drain the tofu, give it a gentle squeeze to remove any excess water, then pat it dry with a clean tea towel or kitchen paper before blending.
What is white miso and where can I buy it? White miso (also known as shiro miso) is a traditional Japanese fermented seasoning made from soybeans and rice. It has a milder, slightly sweeter flavour compared to other misos, making it perfect for this recipe. It adds a wonderful savoury depth (known as umami) that really brings this ‘cream cheese’ to life, while allowing the fresh herbs to shine. A little goes a long way, so just half a tablespoon is enough to transform this spread.
Here in the UK, you can find white miso in many larger supermarkets (in the Japanese section of the world food aisle), health food shops and Asian supermarkets. I often use Miso Tasty Organic White Miso, which I buy from Tesco or Waitrose.
Can I use lemon juice instead of apple cider vinegar? Yes, you can. Lemon juice gives a slightly brighter citrus flavour, whereas I prefer the cleaner tang of apple cider vinegar. After lots of recipe testing, the vinegar version is the one I keep coming back to.
Can I make this recipe without a food processor? Yes, absolutely! I often make it using a stick blender and bowl. It works brilliantly and is much quicker to wash up!
Is this recipe gluten-free? Yes, it can be! Just check your white miso is gluten-free (most are, but it’s always worth checking the label) and serve with your favourite gluten-free bread, bagels or crackers.

These golden pan-fried chickpeas are one of my favourite ways to transform a simple bowl of soup into a truly satisfying meal. Lightly glazed with soy sauce and a touch of maple syrup, they’re savoury, gently caramelised, and beautifully golden. We most often sprinkle them over creamy soups, such as our Cream of Mushroom Soup or Creamy Broccoli Soup, but they’re equally perfect for serving as a warm snack, straight from the pan.
I absolutely love chickpeas and eat them most days in some shape or form. The fact that they’re packed full of nutritional goodness makes me love them even more! They’re a good source of plant protein, dietary fibre, B vitamins and a whole array of minerals, including manganese, magnesium and iron. Chickpeas also contain an abundance of antioxidant phytonutrients, including flavonoids and phenolic acids, which boost the immune system and reduce inflammation.
To make these golden chickpeas, you simply add the ingredients to a non-stick pan, give them a stir, then cook until the liquids have evaporated and the chickpeas are glossy and warmed through. They won’t be crunchy like oven-roasted chickpeas, but I actually prefer the texture of pan-fried chickpeas – they’re more succulent.
They’re also much quicker to make than oven-roasted chickpeas, ready in just 8 minutes. We often prepare them while the soup is cooking or warming through. They’re most delicious served fresh from the pan, when the glaze is still glossy and they have a slightly crisp exterior and a soft interior.
They’re very moreish, so be warned. I probably shouldn’t admit this but one time I managed to polish off a whole panful before they’d had a chance to make their way into our soup bowls 😆

Golden Pan-Fried Chickpeas
These golden pan-fried chickpeas are quick, easy, and nutritious, making them a perfect topping for creamy soups or a warm, savoury snack straight from the pan.
½TBSPlow-sodium tamari or soy sauce (use tamari for a gluten-free option)
1tspdried oregano
pinch ofsalt
Instructions
Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan (skillet) on medium heat. Add the chickpeas and stir through to coat in the oil.
Stir in the maple syrup, tamari or soy sauce, dried oregano and a pinch of salt.
Continue cooking on medium heat, stirring regularly, until the chickpeas are golden and the liquid has evaporated, about 6–8 minutes.
Taste test and adjust the seasoning to suit.
When ready, serve immediately straight from the pan, whilst they’re still warm and glossy.
Notes
tsp = teaspoon | TBSP = tablespoonStorage: These chickpeas are best served fresh, straight from the pan. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, but they will firm up over time. Reheat gently in a pan in a splash of olive oil before serving.Tip: If you’d like a sweeter glaze, add a little more maple syrup and reduce the tamari or soy sauce to taste.

This easy-to-make traditional Lebanese Lentil Soup (Shorbat Adas) is one of my all-time favourite comfort foods. It’s hearty, filling, naturally vegan, and beautifully nourishing. Made with simple, affordable ingredients you’ll likely already have in your kitchen, it’s ready in just 35 minutes and costs only 82p per portion. Perfect for a quick lunch, a light dinner or a cosy family meal.
This recipe was inspired by the lentil soup served at my favourite Lebanese restaurant in Bath. The first time I tried it, I was completely in love. It’s such a simple dish, yet so deeply warming and comforting. I knew straight away that I wanted to recreate it at home – and once I did, it quickly became a firm family favourite. During the colder months, we enjoy a nourishing bowl of soup for dinner at least once a week, and we always look forward to the evenings when this Lebanese Lentil Soup is on the menu.
Traditionally, it’s served with a wedge of lemon on the side, allowing each person to squeeze a burst of fresh citrus into their bowl. Not only does this brighten the flavour of the lentils, but the vitamin C in the lemon also helps your body absorb their iron.
As well as being rich in iron, lentils also add a generous amount of plant protein to this dish. A bowl of soup alone provides around 16g of protein. Add a couple of slices of bread and a two-tablespoon sprinkling of seeds – or a serving of my Golden Pan-Fried Chickpeas savoury soup topper – and that rises to around 26g of protein. Pretty impressive for such a simple, budget-friendly meal!
Prices listed are for February 2026 and mostly sourced from Tesco, where I currently do my main grocery shop.
The Good Stuff
This soup is packed with nutritious ingredients:
✨ Lentils are rich in protein, fibre, and essential minerals such as iron, folate, and manganese. They also contain polyphenols with antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory benefits.
✨ Onions are rich in antioxidants and sulfur compounds, which support heart health, immune function, and help reduce inflammation.
✨ Garlic contains sulfur compounds (like allicin) and antioxidants, which support immune function, heart health, and have anti-inflammatory effects.
✨ Carrots are packed with beta‑carotene (which converts to vitamin A), supporting eye health and immunity.
✨ White potatoes (with the skin) provide fibre, an array of minerals (especially potassium), vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting digestion, immunity, and heart health.
✨ Ground cumin is rich in antioxidants and iron and is traditionally used to support digestion and metabolic health.
✨ Ground turmeric contains curcumin – a powerful antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory compound – plus manganese and iron.
✨ Black pepper contains piperine, which enhances nutrient absorption (especially curcumin from turmeric) and supports digestion.
Top Tips & FAQs
Which type of lentil is best for this soup? Red split lentils are ideal as they cook quickly, don’t require soaking, and break down into a silky, creamy texture.
Why should you wash lentils? Rinsing removes dust, debris, and excess starch, helping to reduce bloating. Rinse in a fine mesh sieve under cold running water, agitating them with your hand until the water runs clear.
New to lentils? Start low and slow. If lentils are new to you, start with smaller portions and increase gradually to allow your digestion to adapt.
My soup has gone super thick in the fridge – help! This is totally normal! Lentils absorb liquid as they cool. Simply whisk in a little extra water or stock while reheating until you reach your desired consistency.
Gluten‑free? This soup is naturally gluten‑free. Just check your vegetable stock or bouillon powder and serve with gluten‑free bread if needed.

For a little extra protein and crunch, you can top the soup with pan-fried sunflower and pumpkin seeds – lightly fry them in a small amount of olive oil over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant. For another delicious option, try adding a serving of my Golden Pan-Fried Chickpeas savoury soup topper. They add a lovely contrast in texture along with an extra boost of plant-based protein.

When it came to preparing for the Tour du Mont Blanc, I loved the planning stage – researching gear, reading reviews, and finding vegan-friendly options for everything from boots to snacks. (If you’re still at the planning stage yourself, you might enjoy my Top Tips for Hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) as a Vegan post – it’s where I share everything that helped us get ready for the adventure!)
Some items took a bit of detective work – vegan hiking boots and socks were a challenge! But the effort was worth it. Here’s what we packed and loved for our TMB – all vegan-friendly and tested on the trail.
Finding comfortable, durable, vegan hiking boots can be tricky, especially if you have wide feet like me!
After a lot of research, I finally found the La Sportiva Women’s Ultra Raptor II Mid Gore-Tex (Wide Fit) – perfect for the TMB. Super lightweight, incredibly comfortable (no breaking-in needed!), and with excellent grip for mixed terrain. The only downside was that they did leak a little in heavy rain, but I’d discovered this on UK hikes beforehand, so I came prepared with waterproof socks.
La Sportiva Women’s Ultra Raptor II Mid Gore-Tex (Wide Fit) – super comfy, lightweight, excellent grip, and vegan.
Mark opted for the SCARPA Rush TRK LT GTX, also vegan-friendly (you can filter by “vegan friendly” on the SCARPA UK website which is so helpful!) His boots were stiffer and heavier and needed a few weeks of breaking in, but after that they were really comfortable.
Neither Mark nor I got a single blister on the entire TMB hike! We were extremely happy with our boot selection.
The Scarpa Rush TRK LT GTX – Mark’s vegan boot of choice for the TMB; sturdy and reliable for long-distance hiking.
👉 Tip: Even boots marketed as “waterproof” sometimes leak in alpine conditions – packing waterproof socks is a wise backup!
Hiking Socks (Merino-Free)
Finding vegan-friendly hiking socks was another small adventure, as many contain merino wool. We both chose the Bridgedale Coolmax Light Hiker Socks, which were soft, breathable, and have great cushioning.
We each packed a couple of pairs of these, plus one pair of Bridgedale Ultralight Coolmax Hiker Socks for hot days (thinner and lighter, but with less cushioning).
Since my hiking boots can leak a little in heavy rain, I brought a pair of Sealskinz Wiveton Waterproof Socks with me (these have a bamboo inner, rather than merino). I was so thankful to have these – they kept my feet completely dry and comfortable on rainy days.
I also packed a small roll of kitchen towel from home to help dry my boots if they did leak – it only happened a couple of times, but I was glad to have it.
Bridgedale Coolmax Light Hiker Socks – the perfect vegan-friendly hiking sock for the TMB. They were so comfy and had great cushioning
Waterproof Jackets and Trousers (Fluorocarbon-free)
Good waterproofs are essential for hiking in the Alps!
I wore the Finisterre Skybird Jacket, and Mark had the Finisterre Stormbird. Both are made from recycled materials with a fluorocarbon-free, durable waterproof repellent (DWR) coating, and both performed brilliantly.
Stormbird – 20,000mm waterproof rating, more robust but heavier (Mark’s pick)
We started the TMB in heavy rain so we put our wet weather kit to use immediately!
Mark making use of his Finisterre Stormbird waterproof jacket at the arch in Les Houches – the start of the TMB!
Pouring rain at the start of the TMB – I felt cosy in my Finisterre Skybird jacket and Rainbird trousers.
We rolled and packed our jackets into their hoods, so they took up minimal space in our backpacks. On one stage, we went from bright sun to a torrential downpour in minutes – those jackets saved us!
I also packed the Finisterre Rainbird Waterproof Trousers (10,000mm rating), made from recycled materials with a fluorocarbon-free DWR coating. They’re super light-weight and fold down tiny into the back pocket, taking up almost no space in my packback. Worn over leggings, they were incredibly comfortable and never felt bulky. I was so glad to have them on the wet days – while Mark braved the rain in shorts and quickly regretted it when the temperature dropped!
I carried my waterproof jacket and trousers every day on the TMB, but they were so lightweight I hardly noticed them in my bag.
Insulated Jackets (Down-Free)
Many insulated jackets use down (goose or duck feathers), which isn’t vegan-friendly, so we both invested in Finisterre Nimbus Jackets – one of our best gear decisions.
These jackets are insulated with Finisterre’s own recycled synthetic fill (a down alternative made from post-consumer waste) and have a shell of 100% recycled polyester with a fluorocarbon-free DWR. Lightweight and packable into their own inside pockets, these jackets were warm and cosy on cold summits and rainy afternoons – we were so glad we brought them!
On our rest day in Courmayeur, we took the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car up to Punta Helbronner – incredible views of Mont Blanc but super cold, so we were grateful for our Finisterre insulated jackets!
Vegan Food and Snacks
I have a dedicated Vegan TMB Food Diary post for full details of what we ate as vegans on the TMB, stage by stage, but here’s a quick summary of what we brought with us from the UK – plus a couple of things I wish we’d brought!
Trail mixes (nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and dark chocolate) I loved the Waitrose Berries & Dark Chocolate and Apricot & Ginger Trail Mixes – both made a welcome change from the usual plain nut-and-fruit blends.
Mixed nuts – I took two packets of Waitrose Hickory Smoked Nuts, which were such a treat, and made a nice change to the usual plain or roasted nut mixes.
Vegan protein bars – We packed a mix of Trek Protein Flapjacks, and Nakd Protein Bars. These were perfect for mid-morning or late-afternoon energy top-ups.
Vegan chocolate and flapjacks – We took the Rhythm 108 Roasted Almond Butter Bars, Graze Oat Boosts and Pip and Nut Peanut Butter Stuffed Oat Bars as treats.
Vegan meal bars – I wish we’d brought some vegan meal bars with us, as they would’ve been so handy for the more remote stages. Next time, I’ll pack some Real Meal Bars – they’re fully vegan, contain around 26g of protein, and are designed to replace a full meal.
Dehydrated vegan meals – we took four Firepot vegan meals as emergency backups (these can be especially handy if you’re camping or staying at refuges, where breakfast and lunch options can be limited). We didn’t end up needing them, but it was reassuring to have them just in case.
Reusable utensils – we each took a spork, though I wish we’d also brought a knife for spreading jam or hummus on bread!
Eco-friendly lunch packaging – we packed two small reusable lunchboxes and clip seals for closing packets.
These simple additions made a huge difference to our experience of the TMB – especially for the stages when vegan options were scarce.
Our snacks brought from the UK came in so handy on the trails, and a welcome change from the typical nuts and trail mixes found in Alpine supermarkets
Backpacks
Alongside your footwear, clothing and food, getting the right backpack setup makes a huge difference on the trail. Since we booked our trip with Mac’s Adventures, our main luggage was transferred daily – so we only needed to carry day backpacks.
I did a lot of research before purchasing my backpack, and opted for the Osprey Women’s Tempest 22L which is specifically designed for the female body shape. One I’d taken the time to adjust all the straps correctly, it was so comfy – I barely noticed I had it on! The Tempest range is made from 100% recycled, bluesign®-approved nylon and is fluorocarbon-free.
My Osprey Women’s Tempest 22L – perfect as a daypack for the TMB – lightweight, and comfortable.
The 22L backpack fit everything I needed for a day’s hike. I felt very secure and balanced wearing it, even crossing this ice bridge in Switzerland!
Mark opted for the Finisterre + Gregory Men’s Stout 45L Backpack – a bit larger than your usual day pack, but ideal for us as Mark had kindly offered to carry all our food. The pack is made of sturdy, recycled materials, a fluorocarbon-free DWR coating and came with a lifetime warranty. Like me, Mark spent a good amount of time adjusting all the straps on the backpack so that it fit him perfectly. (There are some handy YouTube videos that show you how to do this). Adjusting the straps makes all the difference between a comfy and uncomfortable pack, so it’s definitely worth spending time getting the fit just right!
The expandable mesh pockets on Mark’s backpack were perfect for keeping snacks within easy reach during our hikes.

Waterproof Liners and Rain Covers
We used waterproof liners inside our backpacks to ensure our gear kept dry. We both chose the Exped 22L Dry Bag, which is lightweight, made from recycled materials and Bluesign ® approved.
We also each had rain covers for our packs. Mark’s backpack came with a rain cover; mine didn’t, so I purchased the Osprey Ultralight High-Vis Raincover (Small) – recycled, bluesign®-approved, fluorocarbon-free DWR. Having tested my backpack on Mount Snowdon in the UK and discovered it leaked badly in the rain, I was so grateful for the rain cover on the TMB!

Carrying waterproofs is essential on the TMB as the weather can change in a flash. Here I am in my full waterproof kit on the board walk near Lac de la Flégère
Here’s what I carried in my daypack each day:
2 bottles of water
Insulated jacket (packs into its pocket)
Waterproof jacket
Waterproof trousers
Waterproof socks
Change of t-shirt
Lightweight fleece
Wet wipes, toilet paper + small bag for used wipes/paper
Sunglasses, suncream, lip balm, sun hat
Walking poles
Phone + waterproof pouch
Waterproof backpack liner & cover
Mark packed similarly, plus our lunch, snacks, maps, guide book, compass, first-aid kit, and power bank.
We used everything we took with us – apart from the first-aid kit, which we were very happy not to need!
I was grateful for a lightweight day backpack on steep climbs like this one in the Aiguilles Rouges!
Final Thoughts
The key to happy vegan hiking is comfort, preparedness, and compassion – not just for yourself, but for the planet and all living beings.
Whether you’re gearing up for the Tour du Mont Blanc or another long-distance trek, I hope this guide inspires you to find the sweet balance of practicality, ethics, and joy in every step.
Have you already hiked the TMB as a vegan? I’d love to hear your top tips and favourite vegan hiking essentials – please share them in the comments below!
Are you planning on hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc as a vegan? You’re in the right place! In this post, I share a detailed, stage-by-stage account of what we ate each day on our 2025 TMB adventure – including where we stayed, vegan-friendly restaurants, and handy tips for staying well-fed along the route.
While the Alps are known more for cheese fondue and raclette than plant-based dining, with a little preparation, it’s absolutely possible to complete the TMB as a happy, well-fed vegan!
We arrived very late in Les Houches – around 11:30pm after plane and bus delays. Thankfully, the kind staff at Hôtel St Antoine stayed up to let us in.
In our email exchange before arrival, the hotel had confirmed that they could make us a vegan dinner (likely a cheese-free pepper pizza) but sadly we were too late for the kitchen this time.
If we visit Les Houches again, we won’t stay half-board, as there’s a great vegan-friendly restaurant just down the road – Kitsch Inn – located at the base of the Bellevue cable car. I snapped a few pictures of their menu as we walked past on our way to the Bellevue Gondola for Stage 1 of the TMB. The vegan options sounded amazing!

Kitsch Inn even had a vegan dessert on the menu!
💚 Vegan Notes
Supermarkets in Les Houches – Carrefour Contact and Super U et Drive – are handy for bread, fruit, and vegan snacks for packed lunches.
Stage 1 – Les Houches → Les Contamines via Bionnassay
We arrived in the dark to Hotel St Antoine but woke up to this beautiful Alpine view!
Breakfast: Buffet-style breakfast with cereals, nuts, fruit, jam, bread, and plant milks – simple but satisfying.
Lunch: We hadn’t planned lunch well for this first Stage of the TMB, and ended up relying on snacks we’d brought from home. Luckily, it was one of the shorter stages, so we made up for it when we arrived in Les Contamines.
En route: Stopped at Auberge de Bionnassay for coffee and a comfort break; no vegan options on the menu.
Snacks: Vegan protein bars, trail mix, hickory smoked nuts from home.
Dinner: We can highly recommend Le Carnotzet in Les Contamines. We actually ended up eating there twice in one day – we headed there as soon as we finished the Stage to make up for our missed lunch, and then back again for dinner! The staff were very welcoming and attentive.
Le Carnotzet Restaurant, Les Contamines, France
The menu has several clearly labelled vegan options. Our favourites were the ‘Planche Vegetale’ (hummus, aubergine caviar, olive tapenade with bread), the vegan burger, and ‘Crozets à l’Italienne’ (pasta dish).

Back at Le Carnotzet for dinner. We love that this restaurant has a variety of vegan options, all clearly marked on the menu
💚 Vegan Notes
One surprise on the TMB: we expected to at least find French Fries (‘frites’) en route – the vegan fallback meal – but we never saw them once on a refuge menu! Lesson learned: always pack your own lunch and snacks.
Le Carnotzet can get very busy in the evenings during TMB season, so definitely worth reserving a table in advance.
Stage 2 – Les Contamines → Les Chapieux via Col de la Croix du Bonhomme (then bus to Refuge des Mottets)
Gorgeous view from our room at Chalet Nant Rouge, Les Contamines
Breakfast: Cereals, nuts, bread, jam, with almond or oat milk available on request.
Lunch: The owners of Chalet Nant Rouge kindly made us vegan baguettes for the hike – olive oil, hummus, and salad.
En route:Refuge de la Balme for a coffee and comfort break. They had oat milk available for our coffees – a lovely surprise! There was also a potentially vegan-friendly option on the menu, a veggie poke bowl (€21), though we didn’t need it as we had our baguettes.
Refuge de la Balme, Col du Bonhomme, France
Menu at the Refuge de la Balme, July 2025
Snacks: Trail mix, nuts, protein bars from home.
Dinner: After finishing the stage at Les Chapieux, we took a shuttle to Refuge des Mottets, where we stayed overnight. They prepared a lovely vegan dinner for us: vegetable soup with beans and bread, followed by a vegan “burger” with ratatouille and rice, and a pot of apple purée for dessert.
💚 Vegan Notes
Supermarkets in Les Contamines are fine for basic supplies, but expensive. In comparison, the baguette from Chalet Nant Rouge (€6) felt good value.
Stage 3 – Refuge des Mottets → Courmayeur via La Visaille
Refuge des Mottets, Vallée des Glaciers, Savoie, France
Breakfast: Basic for vegans – cereals, bread, jam, with plant milk on request.
Lunch: We asked the refuge if they could prepare vegan packed lunches (these need pre-ordering the day before; €14 per person, cash). It consisted of a salad sandwich and apple, but also chocolate biscuit bars containing milk that we couldn’t eat – a bit disappointing.
En Route: A highlight along the route was Rifugio Elisabetta, where we initially stopped for coffees and a rest, but ended up having lunch! They had a couple of vegan options on their menu (not labelled vegan, but confirmed by staff) – we each had a delicious Pasta Pomodoro with fresh basil (€12 each). The staff were lovely and spoke great English.

We also had a coffee stop at the Chalet del Miage Ristoro, (we sat out the back enjoying the breathtaking views!) We decided to walk all the way from here to Courmayeur which we ended up regretting as it was mainly on roads – should have taken the shuttle bus from La Visaille!
Chalet del Miage Ristoro, La Visaille, Italy
Snacks: Trail mix, nuts, protein bars from home.
Dinner: Pizzas from L’angolo di Mel, a pizzeria in La Courmayeur with two clearly labelled vegan pizzas on the menu (with vegan cheese!). We tried both – the Yoko was our favourite!
So happy to find vegan pizzas on the menu at the Pizzeria L’angolo di Mel, with vegan cheese too!
💚 Vegan Notes
Vegan breakfast options at refuges can be limited; dehydrated expedition meals can be a great option if you prefer savoury breakfasts or fancy some variety to your breakfasts!
The refuge-packed lunch was pricey for what it included. Next time, we’d skip it and rely on vegan meal bars and snacks.
Rest Day – Courmayeur
We loved our three night stay at the Hotel Bouton d’Or, Courmayeur, Italy
Breakfast: Cereals, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, a selection of breads and jams, and peanut butter (the most delicious we’ve ever had!), with soya and almond milks – a perfect start to a restful day.
Lunch:4810 We Are Food – just a 10-minute walk from town. Vegan-friendly, allergens clearly labelled. We had the grilled vegetable sandwich (not our favourite) and the Pink Velvet dessert, made with tofu and red fruits – this was absolutely divine!

Dinner: Returned to 4810 We Are Food for their evening menu. We ordered the Seitan alla brace con verdure in agrodolce e salsa teriyaki – so delicious! Dessert was the Pink Velvet again – we couldn’t resist!
💚 Vegan Notes
Spending three nights in Courmayeur was perfect – vegan-friendly restaurants, supermarkets, and a fantastic hotel all in one place (our favourite on the whole trip!)
Carrefour Express in the centre of Courmayeur is great for stocking up on vegan supplies – we even found two ready-made vegan sandwiches by Fabian in this supermarket!The “64 Mumbai,” made with pea protein veggie bites was our favourite! Prices here were much cheaper than in France or Switzerland.
So happy to find vegan sandwiches at the Carrefour Express in Courmayeur!
Stage 4 – Courmayeur → Rifugio Bonatti (then bus back to Courmayeur)
Breakfast: Same as previous day – our favourite buffet of the trip!
Lunch: Ready-made vegan sandwiches, mini jam pots with bread, olive oil crackers, and chocolate-filled vegan cookies, all from Carrefour Express, Courmayeur.
En Route: We stopped at Rifugio Giorgio Bertone for coffees and a comfort break (didn’t see any vegan options on the menu)
Rifugio Giorgio Bertone, Courmayeur, Aosta Valley, Italy
Snacks: Trail mix, cashew nuts, protein bars, sesame snaps.
Dinner: Back in Courmayeur, we returned to L’angolo di Mel (we both chose the Yoko pizza this time!) and finished with a Pink Velvet dessert and soy cappuccino at 4810 We Are Food.
💚 Vegan Notes
Staying another night in Courmayeur is a huge advantage as there are far more vegan options here than at Rifugio Bonatti. The bus stop is just a 2km downhill walk from the Rifugio.
Stock up on vegan supplies at the Carrefour Express in Courmayeur; vegan options are very limited and expensive on the Swiss section of the TMB.
Enjoy vegan cheese pizzas while you can – they’re rare on the TMB!
Stage 5 – Arnouva → La Fouly (free bus from Courmayeur to Arnouva)
Lunch: Ready-made vegan sandwiches, crackers, jam, vegan cookies filled with chocolate hazelnut paste, trail mix (all from Carrefour Express in Courmayeur) plus trail mix and nuts from home.

En route: Refuge Elena for coffees and a comfort break.
Refuge Elena, Courmayeur, Aosta Valley, Italy
Dinner: We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Hotel Edelweiss (where we were staying overnight, half board) – fresh salad starter, followed by smoked tofu with rice, lentils, and ratatouille. Dessert was a simple apple. Staff were allergy-aware and already had our vegan meal request on record.
💚 Vegan Notes
Food choice in La Fouly are very limited. Booking half-board accommodation and emailing ahead to request vegan meals is strongly recommended.
The Swiss TMB sections are extremely expensive – even basic items at La Fouly supermarket are pricey (e.g. €4 for a packet of crisps).
Breakfast: Cereals, seeds, fruit, bread, jam; plant milk available on request.
Lunch: We asked the Hotel Edelweiss if they could prepare us a vegan packed lunch for the following day – it consisted of a smoked tofu and salad sandwich, plus a piece of fruit (€14 per person).
En Route: We didn’t stop at any refuges on the stage (I don’t think we saw one!)
Snacks: Trail mix, nuts, sesame snaps
Dinner:Pension en Plein Air (where we were staying half-board) provided a lovely vegan dinner – vegetable soup and bread as a starter, smoked tofu with herbed potatoes and spinach for the main, and fruit salad for dessert. Staff had our vegan meal request on record and brought it to our table in the dining hall (meat eaters had a buffet).
💚 Vegan Notes
The packed lunch from Hotel Edelweiss was very pricey; next time, we’d skip it and bring a vegan meal bar from home and extra snacks.
Champex-Lac has very limited evening meal options, so booking half-board is strongly recommended.
The Edelweiss supermarket offered a few vegan items. We were thrilled to discover the vegan Blueberry Cookie Magnum in their ice cream cabinet – the perfect post-stage treat by the lake!
Champex-Lac – where we sat and enjoyed a vegan Magnum after completing Stage 6
Stage 7 – Champex-Lac → Col de la Forclaz via Alpage de Bovine (then taxi transfer to Martigny)
Breakfast: Cereals, bread, jam; plant milk available on request.
Lunch: A fresh loaf of bread from the Edelweiss supermarket (which we enjoyed with the mini pots of jam we’d bought in Courmaeyur), and Vaya hummus chips which we discovered in the Edelweiss supermarket – clearly marked vegan and so tasty!

En route: Coffee stop at Alpage de Bovine.
Alpage de Bovine, Martigny-Combe, Switzerland
Snacks: Trail mix, protein bars, nuts.
Dinner:Le Bowl, Martigny – delicious poke-style bowls with tofu, grains, veggies, and teriyaki dressing. Dessert was Alpro mango yogurt and dark chocolate from ALDI SUISSE in Martigny.
Vegan Poke Bowl from Le Bowl, Martigny, Switzerland
💚 Vegan Notes
Col de la Forclaz has very limited accommodation and vegan food options. We were really glad that our tour company, Mac’s Adventures, arranged a taxi to Martigny – this gave us access to vegan dinner options and an ALDI supermarket for a major snack stock-up. (I share more about our experiences with Mac’s Adventures in this post).
Our vegan food haul from ALDI in Martigny, Switzerland!
Stage 8 – Trient → Tré-Le-Champ (taxi transfer from Martigny to Trient; bus from Tré-Le-Champ to Chamonix)
Breakfast: Cereals, bread, jam; plant milk on request.
Lunch: Vegan ready-made sandwiches (tofu & olive; seitan & mushroom), hummus chips, cookies, apples – all from ALDI, Martigny.
En Route: Coffee stop at Refuge du Col de Balme.
Refuge du Col de Balme, Trient, Switzerland
Snacks: Vegan protein bars, trail mix, nuts, dark chocolate – all from ALDI, Martigny.
Dinner:Sesame, Chamonix – a veggie restaurant, where almost all items on the menu are vegan! (‘Végétalien’). We had falafel bowls, sweet potato fries, and fresh smoothies. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Sesame Cafe, Chamonix, France – great vegan dinner options!
💚 Vegan Notes
Tre-Le-Champ has very limited options for vegans, so staying in Chamonix was ideal.
Chamonix has several vegan-friendly restaurants, supermarkets, and a health food shop – Cham Bio – where we were able to stock up on Taifun tofu and other items for our packed lunches.
Stage 9 – Tré-Le-Champ → Planpraz via Lac Blanc (bus from Chamonix to Tré-le-Champ; cable car from Planpraz to Chamonix)
Stunning view from our room at Chalet Hotel Le Prieuré, Chamonix, France
Breakfast: Buffet with cereals, nuts, dried fruits, bread, jam, and plant milk.
Lunch: Self-made tofu and hummus sandwiches, rice crackers.
En Route: We stopped at Refuge du Lac Blanc for coffees and to shelter from the rain. Note: no water taps (bottled water for sale at around €5); toilets are locked and for overnight guests only.
We hiked down to Lac de la Flégère from Refuge du Lac Blanc. When the clouds cleared, the views were breathtaking!
Snacks: Protein bars, trail mix, nuts.
Dinner:Annapurna Indian Restaurant, which has extensive vegetarian menu with vegan options clearly marked. We had the Rajma Masala, Ayurvedic Tharka Dal, poppadums with vegan chutneys, and chapattis. All delicious! Dessert: We shared a pot of Alpro mango yogurt (from the SPA supermarket across the road).

💚 Vegan Notes
Stocking up on tofu, hummus, bread, and crackers in Chamonix made lunches easier.
The staff at Annapurna were really friendly and understood vegan requirements perfectly – a great dinner spot!
Stage 10 – Planpraz → Les Houches (Chamonix cable car to Planpraz; train from Les Houches to Chamonix)
Lunch: Self-made tofu and hummus sandwiches, rice crackers, apples, dark chocolate.
En route: we stopped at Refuge Bellachat – the coffee here was rough, but the breathtaking views made up for it!
Refuge Bellachat, Chamonix, France
Snacks: Protein bars, trail mix, nuts, sesame snaps.
Dinner: We returned to Sesame in Chamonix where we enjoyed seitan noodle bowls and a big plate of sweet potato fries. Dessert: our favourite Alpro mango yogurt again!
💚 Vegan Notes
If staying in Les Houches, Kitsch Inn is the go-to for vegan dinner. We chose to head back to Chamonix to shower and change, so we could celebrate completing the TMB in comfort!
We made it! Back at the arch in Les Houches, where we started
Final Thoughts
Hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc as a vegan is absolutely doable – but it does require some forward planning and realistic expectations. We were pleasantly surprised by the number of vegan-friendly restaurants we discovered along the way. (I’ve pinned all the vegan-friendly places we found – including those we didn’t have time to visit – on this Google Map, which might be helpful if you’re planning your own TMB adventure!)
Every hotel and refuge we stayed at was able to accommodate us with vegan meals, even in remote locations – you just need to email ahead to give notice. I share more on this in my Top Tips for Hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) as a Vegan post, including sample emails we sent and tips for making sure your meals are covered.
Have you hiked the TMB as a vegan? If so, I’d love to hear your favourite food finds, and any tips you have for fellow vegan hikers – please share them in the comments below!
