Vegan Recipes for Every Summer Holiday

It’s fan finds Friday! 🎉 Limited edition @bushsbeans in summer flavors have dropped and have been creating some buzz. There’s also an online only rocket pop flavor but when I looked it up in the @walmart app, that one said it contained pork stock. Eww. @maxinesheavenly new crème pies spotted at Whole Foods. @eatshameless candies and Marketside (a Walmart brand) PB bites also spotted there. It’s also my chihuahua sisters 11th birthday today! Mochi is the furry one and she loves getting brushed more than food. Moka the brown one loves vegan marshmallows and often looks confused. They’ll be getting special treats today. 🎂 Thanks to everyone who sent in finds and if you have any, send them my way and where you found them! 🙏🏼🌱

White Castle is launching a new Southwest Veggie Slider nationwide, partnering with Dr. Praeger’s (again) for a permanent, whole-food plant-based addition to their menu but you have to order without cheese. 🍔✨ Although they’re saying this is permanent, other plant-based options often face quiet discontinuations and limited test runs. It highlights a much bigger, more complicated reality for plant-based diners that the American fast-food landscape has increasingly become a “here today, gone tomorrow” space where plant-based options rarely seem to stay even if popular and well supported. Comment LINK to read my full breakdown of this new menu swap and a deep dive into the complicated saga of vegan fast food at bigboxvegan.com. 💻🌱 What plant-based option or fast-food classic do you wish was permanently available out there? Sound off in the comments! 👇

Some new things! 🆕 @daiyafoods has new cheesecake bites made with their oat cream blend up on their website already so I hope they’re headed to freezers soon! Word from them is that they’ll be at Sprouts first! Trader Joe’s has two new items hitting shelves this week and @coffeemate dirty soda creamers are back and spotted at @walmart are in the refrigerated section now as last time they were shelf stable. What are you excited to try??

@sprouts finds! 🌱 Lemon fest is back there for a limited time so pucker up. 🍋

I’ve been vegan for over 30 years but we’ve all watched this play out before. Gaz Oakley is the latest to walk away but he’s far from the first, and every time it happens some patterns appear. Comment LINK for my honest take but how do you feel about it? 🤔

Weekend roundup with finds from Trader Joe’s and @costco stores! ☁️☀️

Some @walmart finds! 🛒

Most vegan cornbreads are a letdown as they’re usually dry and crumbly. 🌽🍞💛 It took years of tweaking and testing to get this recipe exactly where I wanted it to be. My goal was a very specific, elusive balance of a sweet, cake-like crumb and perfectly moist. The best part? It’s a simple, one-bowl recipe made entirely with mainstream pantry staples and no special egg replacers required. Comment RECIPE to get it or head over to bigboxvegan.com. ✨ Tip: Don’t skip the warm melted vegan butter and agave glaze on top! It soaks right into the golden crust and completely elevates every bite.
