Fast-food menus have been evolving to include more vegan options in recent years, with popular chains like Burger King and Taco Bell offering plant-based alternatives to their traditional meat options. These vegan fast-food items closely resemble their meaty counterparts, only the beefy patties or chicken strips are made with plant-based meat. While vegan fast food may not always be the healthiest option, it is generally better for human health and the environment compared to traditional meat-based fast food options.

From Del Taco to Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, there are various hacks for ordering vegan at fast-food restaurants. Some options include ordering the 8 Layer Veggie Burrito without cheese or sour cream at Del Taco, veganizing Auntie Anne’s pretzels by requesting them without butter, and customizing vegan bowls or burritos at Chipotle. Other chains like Burger King, Shake Shack, and Subway also offer vegan options on their menus, making it easier than ever to find plant-based choices at fast-food establishments in the US.
