In the past, finding vegetarian options at fast food chains was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Times have changed and now, many fast food restaurants offer an array of tasty and satisfying vegetarian dishes on their menus. Here are the top 10 best fast food chains for vegetarians.
Firstly, Taco Bell is a haven for vegetarians. The chain has over a dozen vegetarian items on their menu, including the bean burrito and cheese quesadilla. They also allow substitutions on any item to make it vegetarian-friendly.
Subway takes second place with its build-your-own sandwich or salad concept which allows vegetarians to choose from an array of fresh veggies, cheeses, and sauces. Their Veggie Delite Sub is particularly popular among vegetarians.
Thirdly comes Burger King with its Impossible Whopper that uses plant-based patties instead of meat. This burger tastes almost identical to their original Whopper making it perfect for both vegetarians and those wanting to reduce their meat intake.
Next up is Chipotle Mexican Grill where you can customize your own burritos, bowls or tacos with sofritas (tofu cooked with chipotle chilies), beans, rice, vegetables and guacamole.
At number five we have Domino’s Pizza which offers various veggie pizzas topped with ingredients such as mushrooms, green peppers, onions and olives. They also provide vegan cheese upon request in certain locations.
White Castle secures sixth place by offering Impossible Sliders – mini burgers made from plant-based protein that mimic the taste of beef quite convincingly.
Seventh position goes to Wendy’s who recently introduced black bean burgers at select locations alongside salads that can be customized without meat.
Panera Bread ranks eighth due to its variety of vegetarian soups like Vegetarian Creamy Tomato Soup along with several salads sans chicken.
Ninth place belongs to Dunkin’ Donuts who not only serve bagels but also Beyond Sausage – a plant-based breakfast sandwich option.
Finally, at number ten is Pizza Hut who recently began offering Beyond Meat sausage as a topping for their pizzas in select locations.
These fast food chains have taken positive steps towards accommodating the dietary preferences of vegetarians and even vegans. They offer not only salads but also hearty main dishes that can satisfy any appetite. The next time you find yourself needing a quick bite to eat, remember these options are out there. Vegetarian fast food has come a long way and continues to evolve with more delicious and varied offerings than ever before.
