Starbucks Uk just announced the launch of its 2019 holiday menu and consumers are already buzzing about the debut of a new plant-based option called the 'Very Merry Vegan Wrap with Butternut.'
Starbucks UK's new Very Merry Vegan Wrap with Butternut is a seasonal offering that is completely vegan-friendly. The new wrap starts with crumbled butternut squash fritters, which are paired with roasted red cabbage, and drizzled with a vegan maple mustard mayonnaise. The whole thing is then wrapped in a bright purple wrap that's made from beetroot. The result is a colorful lunch option that's packed with healthy ingredients.
In addition to the new Very Merry Vegan Wrap with Butternut, Starbucks UK's 2019 holiday menu also includes a brie and cranberry focaccia sandwich, mince pies, caramel cupcakes, and a festive chocolate loaf cake.
