Vegan butter
There are so many delicious vegan alternatives available.
Butterly good options!
You’ll find the below options at almost any large supermarket near you.
Below is just a selection of vegan butters and spreads available in NZ. Pams, Countdown and Tablelands are three brands that have their own vegan spreads and the list is growing!
Note: some margarines can contain dairy, so it’s always best to check the label before you buy. Most margarines contain palm oil too, so if you’re hoping to avoid that, then check out our tip regarding olive oil below as well.
