Getting fit or doing Veganuary?

Marriotts Walk has just what you need

The New Year is the perfect blank canvas to make a positive lifestyle change and the sense of community around campaigns such as Red January and Veganuary make this easier than ever.

After the excesses of the festive season, Veganuary makes sense for a lot of people as a health reset. Heralded for its eco-credentials as well as encouraging people to eat more fruit and veg, the vegan diet is gaining in popularity.

Gone are the difficulties of finding vegan fare as more and more shops and restaurants cater for those eschewing animal products.

Enjoy dining out in Veganuary

Instead of being a limiting experience, Veganuary could be a great way to up your creativity in the kitchen and to choose dishes that normally would not be on your radar when dining out.

Here at Marriotts Walk there are plenty of vegan options on offer for participants in Veganuary and committed vegans.

For those looking for something to cook at home later, Marks and Spencer is the obvious choice with its excellent Plant Kitchen range offering a host of delicious ready-made meals and scratch ingredients, such as tikka masala, woodfired pizza, veggie mince, cauliflower popcorn and fishless goujons.

If you’re looking for a quick bite to eat on the go, Subway caters well for the vegan community, offering a Meatless Marinara, TLC (Tastes.Like.Chicken), Plant Patty or Veggie Delite.

And if you are a burger fan there is no need to think you will miss out, with Brets Burgers offering the excellent Moving Mountain vegan burger that can be embellished with one of the restaurant’s gourmet toppings.

Café Rouge also offers some excellent vegan dining choices with a spicy chickpea burger or mushroom risotto among its meat-free options.

Thanks to the wide choice of milk alternatives, you can still enjoy your caffeine fix as the baristas at Caffe Nero will serve you up your favourite coffee made with oat milk, coconut milk or soya milk.

Getting fit? Get the right gear

It’s not just about how you choose to fuel your body though. January is also a good time to take on new adventures and embrace an active start to the year. Those fitness resolutions…this is the year to keep them.

Red January highlights just how important exercise is to mental wellbeing. The aim of Red January is to encourage people to get moving every day of the month by walking, running, cycling, swimming, or doing whatever sport motivates them.

Whether you want to be part of an organised campaign, or you want to follow your own fitness plan, Marriotts Walk can help you to get kitted out to be ready for anything.

From gym clothes to specialist outdoor gear, our retailers have what you need.

Fancy a taste of the great outdoors? Trespass will allow you to dress for the weather, whatever it is. Get set up for some serious walking with waterproof jackets and trousers along with warm layers and hiking boots. Or how about skiing? Trespass also has a good range of ski clothing, including trousers, jackets and gloves.

Marks and Spencer and New Look have a good choice in active wear, including leggings, tops and sports bras for anyone reigniting their running passion or embarking on a couch to 5k.

And don’t forget the little ones – take them along for the ride (or run!) all wrapped up in waterproof and windproof jackets and suits from JoJo Maman Bébé.

Hit the ground running in 2022 and make sure you are dressed for the occasion with a trip to Marriotts Walk.
