Burger King’s Vegan Selection Is Surprisingly Large
Plant-based diets are having a REAL moment right now—and with more veg-based menu items popping up all over, it's easier than ever to test the waters.
Burger King has long been ahead of the curve in making fast-food more vegan-friendly. In 2019, the chain made headlines when they announced their newest menu item: the Impossible Whopper, made from vegan Impossible Meat.
Meat-eaters and vegans alike consistently give BK's plant-based burger rave reviews—and it's even played a starring role in Burger King's TV advertisements.
“We’ve heard great feedback and know the Impossible Whopper appeals to both current guests who are already big fans of the Whopper sandwich, as well as new guests who are excited about this new option," Chris Finazzo, president of North America for Burger King, shared in a statement.
Though the Impossible Whopper has certainly made waves, it's far from the only vegan item on Burger King's menu. No, the options aren't exactly boundless, but if you're plant-based, you certainly won't go hungry at this popular fast food chain.
In fact, Burger King has a surprising number of vegan-friendly eats to pick from, so you can chow down on everything from apple pie to French fries, and more.
Whether you find yourself at the drive-thru for breakfast or an on-the-run dinner, pick from these 10 vegan Burger King menu options to eat your plant-fueled heart out.
Oatmeal
To make this hearty BK breakfast staple vegan, all you have to do is request water instead of milk.

Impossible Whopper
Vegans have been sharing in the joys of a delicious Whopper since April 2019. The now-famous plant-based burger is topped with tomatoes, lettuce, pickles, and onions. Just remember to skip the mayo!

Garden Side Salad

French Fries
That's right, Burger King French fries are made in vegetable oil and totally vegan-friendly. (Can't say the same for their McDonald's counterparts...)

French Toast Sticks
At Burger King for breakfast? Well, it turns out their French toast sticks somehow contain zero eggs or dairy and are, in fact, vegan. Accident? Perhaps. But hey, I'm not complaining.

Hashbrowns
If hashbrowns are more your jam, don't stress, because these crunchy breakfast bites are also totally fine for vegans. Again, you can thank the vegetable oil-filled fryer.

Apple Sauce
For an easy snack or side that's both sweet and nutritious, go for a reliable applesauce cup.

Iced Tea, Lemonade, or Coffee
When it comes to vegan-friendly drive-thru drinks, you may not be able to enjoy BK's milkshakes, but the iced tea, lemonade, and (black) coffee are all fair game for plant-based eaters.
Nutrition information varies.
PB&J Jamwich
There is zero shame in ordering off the kids menu—especially when it includes a peanut-butter sandwich that's already had the crusts removed.
Per serving: 300 calories, 16 g fat (3 g saturated fat), 290 mg sodium, 33 g carbs, 4 g fiber, 11 g sugar, 11 g protein
