Detroit vegetarians rejoice – you no longer have to dread eating on the run! Restaurants all over the nation are embracing vegetarian culture, and now with plant-based protein options popping up in fast food chains around Detroit, finding a solid vegetarian entree while out and about about has become easier than ever. Check out our list of the top 5 plant-based fast food options below.
White Castle – Impossible Sliders
White Castle receives our number 1 spot because they have been on the forefront of vegetarian food menus for quite a while. They began offering a Veggie Slider years ago, but recently they added the Impossible Slider which uses the widely popular Impossible Foods plant-based protein. We Love it!
Burger King – Impossible Whopper
Burger King also made headlines when it unveiled its version of the Whopper using Impossible meat. They use a savory flame-grilled patty topped with tomatoes, fresh lettuce, mayonnaise, ketchup, crunchy pickles, and sliced white onions on a sesame seed bun. This is a game changer. Even if you aren’t vegetarian, you should give this one a try.
Dunkin’ Donuts – Beyond Sausage Sandwich
Vegetarians can FINALLY order a breakfast sandwich from a drive-thru window! Dunkin’ Donuts is offering their own plant-based option in the form of a delicious Beyond Sausage Sandwich. The Beyond Sausage Sandwich is served on an English muffin with egg and American cheese.
Chipotle – Sofritas Bowls
Chipotle added the Sofrita’s option to their menu in 2014. Sofritas are a vegan protein made from organic soybeans, shredded and smothered in spices like poblano pepper, cumin, and chipotle chile. This has made them a widely popular option for both vegans and vegetarians alike.
Del Taco – Beyond Meat Tacos
