Team Meatless Monday with @slycantrustyouth contributed to the beach clean-up organised by the Sri Lanka Foreign Service Association together with @sl.mepa . The participants enjoyed a plant-based meal which consisted of a vegetarian roll from @pereraandsons , a Samosa from Sri Vihar and a vegan Banana Muffin from @kaffi.colombo.

Plant-based food consumption helps to cut emissions and is one way for us to adopt climate-friendly, sustainable and cruelty-free food practices.

On the Kos Kele stretch of the Dambulla-Kurunegala

On the Kos Kele stretch of the Dambulla-Kurunegala main road in Melsiripura, there’s always a welcoming stall if you’re looking for something to eat – and at all hours too. Travellers on this road will be hard-pressed to find such hot and filling meals elsewhere, at least not at these prices. Tip generously if you’re able to, this is a pit-stop you’re sure to enjoy.

Located in Kurunegala District in the North-Wester

Located in Kurunegala District in the North-Western Province of Sri Lanka, the Kos Kele food outlets stretch is the perfect place to stop for a filling meal or a quick bite, washed down with a hot cup of tea, on the way out from Colombo to Habarana, Dambulla, Anuradhapura, or Trincomalee, and back. You definitely won’t be disappointed by true Sri Lanka hospitality with a smile.

The Kos Kele food outlets stretch in Melsiripura features just over 50 shops and most are open around the clock, serving up sustenance to weary travellers.

The food is cheap, filling, and tasty and the experience itself is also special: sitting on the side of the road, sheltered by trees, sipping on a steaming hot cup of tea while watching out for monkeys who will swoop down and steal your food – all this makes for memories that comprise an authentic Sri Lankan travel experience.

Behind the scenes of Meatless Monday!

Yesterday we were busy with our FoodShoot in which we carefully picked vegan food items, placing them in an artistic and appealing manner to create beauty in every shot.
The process is quite enjoyable and you truly get to learn more about food by how they are presented and the props used. A designers perspective is a must.

Follow all socials of Meatless Monday Sri Lanka, to see the outcome of the FoodShoot!

Our team made a visit on the 18th and 19th of December 2022 to identify alternative plant-based protein options including those which are forest based in Sri Lanka.

The study and the visit also focused on the livelihood building on entrepreneurship focused on plant-based alternative protein options.

The community members shared their experiences and knowledge of plant-based protein sources available in the forest.

Further research activities are ongoing to identify alternative plant-based protein sources available in Sri Lanka as part of this study.

The work builds on SLYCAN Trust's work programme on ethical, sustainable and climate-friendly food systems, and cruelty-free protein options since 2015.

Rich in antioxidants, pomegranate is used as a folk medicine in many countries and cultures, including Sri Lanka.

The fruit is six-sided with a smooth and leathery skin and colour ranging from brownish yellow to red. Pomegranates grow well in dry zones, and people believe that it may have the ability to prevent cancer.

Tell us about other folk medicine fruits that you know in the comment section!
