Let’s face it. Sometimes even the healthiest of vegans need to grab some fast food on the go when there’s little time to spare. Thankfully, we’ve got lots of options!

As I note in my new book (hot off the press!!): The Vegan Way: 21 Days To A Happier, Healthier, Plant-Based Diet That Will Transform Your Home, Your Diet And You, there are plenty of options when you’re on the road, including a nice variety of vegan food at Taco Bell, all of which is certified by the American Vegetarian Association (Hurray!).

So let’s make a run for the border, and see what they’ve got!

All of the following Taco Bell items are 100% Vegan:

Cantina Salsa

Cilantro

Flatbread

Green Chili Sauce

Green Tomatillo Sauce

Guacamole

Jalapeños

Lettuce

Black Beans

Border Sauce (Fire, Hot, Mild, Verde)

Mexican Pizza Sauce

Onions

Pico de Gallo

A NEW seasoned vegan rice (be sure to ask for the vegan version!)

Rainforest Coffee

Red Sauce

Refried Beans

Romaine Lettuce

Salsa del Sol

Taco Shells

Tomatoes

Tortilla

Tostada Shell

And here’s what you can do with these goodies!

There are SO many options to choose from! All thanks to popular demand. And don’t feel like you’re being a pain in the booty if you customize your order; over 60% of Taco Bell customers already do.

I don’t eat at Taco Bell anymore, but the reality is, those switching from a Standard American Diet (SAD) to healthy plant-based cuisine often need a few baby steps – including grab and go fast food. Even seasoned vegans sometimes need a quick little something when they’re in a pinch. So hurray for Taco Bell! They listened, and they delivered.

And that’s something to be happy about, my friends; and the animals are happy about it, too!
