1. They’re perfect for meat-free days

Introducing plant-based alternatives to your kids couldn’t be easier thanks to Fry’s Stars and Moons. They’re 100% plant-based, which was a major plus for our testers.

‘A perfect alternative with no compromise on texture or flavour.’

‘I immediately knew it would be something my daughter would enjoy, there isn't many children specific vegan products so this was great.’

‘I love that they enjoyed a meat-free meal which is so important to us as we are trying to minimise our meat intake.’

‘It's great to get children and adults alike to have a great varied diet and try new things. We will definitely be looking for more in the range now. To me it's all about balance and having that conversation about different foods, ranges and what's good for us.’

‘We thought they were really tasty, and I loved that they were quick to prepare. They would be great for when we’re having a meat-free day.’

‘I think the appearance was really good and easy for my daughter to eat.’
