Refreshing change for vegan retiree (12)

I believe the answer is:

regenerative

'refreshing' is the definition.
(regenerate can mean to refresh or rejuvenate)

'change for vegan retiree' is the wordplay.
'change for' is an anagram indicator.
'vegan'+'retiree'='veganretiree'
'veganretiree' anagrammed gives 'REGENERATIVE'.

(Another definition for regenerative that I've seen is " Promoting renewal".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
