To kick off 2025—a time when millions are resolving to invest more in their gut health or embrace plant-based eating during month-long Veganuary challenges—Aldi dropped a new plant-based, gut-healthy range.

There are three alternative, multi-benefit burgers in the range that are ready for pan frying, grilling or quickly cooking in the air fryer: Tex Mex with chunky tomato salsa, black bean and green jalapenos; BBQ with a smoky, Korean-style seasoning; and Chargrilled with vegan chicken and freshly cracked black pepper. All of these options are packed with protein and low in saturated fat, plus they help to support gut health with chicory root fibre.

The well-timed launch of Aldi’s Plant Menu No Chicken Smash Burgers also aligns with smash burgers taking over TikTok.
