Top Fast Food Chains That Have Vegan Options
Being a vegan means that you don’t eat any animal products, meaning meat, eggs, dairy, and honey. Vegans typically get their protein from plants like beans and tofu. Many assume that their diet will be limited if they change to a vegan lifestyle. This couldn’t be furthest from the truth. It takes a bit of readjustment and reeducation, both of which are completely doable.
Subway:
Vegans rejoice! Subway offers many vegan options and even has a couple of pre-made sandwiches ready for you to enjoy. If someone in your group is not vegan, they too will be able to find something on the menu since there is bread, turkey, ham, roast beef, or mortadella pastries.
Burger King:
Burger King’s new vegan option is called the “Impossible Whopper” that mimics meat to make your mouth water. The ingredients are soybean, coconut oil, and potato protein, amongst other things, but they end up creating a burger patty that even meat-eaters would enjoy!
KFC:
KFC has many vegan options for you to enjoy. It may be hard to imagine vegan KFC, but there are options. You can get a “fried chicken burger,” mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob without any type of meat in them. They also offer coleslaw which is a great way to eat your vegetables!
