A breakfast menu and a kids menu are available as well. Some of the more popular items are The Big Zac (a take on the McDonald's Big Mac) and the “chicken” and waffle sandwich. Plant Power Fast Food is open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (10 p.m. on Saturdays). Menu items are made from quality, fresh ingredients and range from $6.25 to $8.95. “We're demonstrating that outstanding taste, convenience, and wholesome food can be delivered in the fast-food format,” co-founder Zach Vouga told Escondido Grapevine. “This is a perfect location for a healthy drive-thru restaurant. We've taken a former Burger King and transformed it into a convenient oasis to enjoy a delicious plant-based meal.” Certainly convenient are this location's takeout service, walk-up, and outdoor dining area. Earlier this year the chain launched a mobile ordering app so customers can pick up their meals even quicker. The first fully plant-based and GMO-free drive-thru in the United States, Plant Power Fast Food debuted in Ocean Beach, California, and now boasts two locations in the San Diego area. It joins the ranks of Amy's, a vegetarian drive-thru with vegan options in the United States, and Globally Local, a fully vegan drive-thru in Canada. Hungry for more?

And the meal possibilities are virtually endless: You can use these pretty much any way you'd use sausage or ground beef. These are flavorful enough on their own but aren't overwhelming, so you can customize by adding your favorite seasonings. Plus, they're a good gluten-free, non-GMO source of protein and fiber. In four varieties, these new products are sure to be game changers: Italian-Style Sausage YESS!! You can do so many things with this variety. Toss into your favorite pasta sauce, use as a pizza topping, or add heartiness to soups and stews. Burger Of course, you can customize your burgers, but that's just the beginning. This variety would be great for meatballs, chili, and meatloaf too! Breakfast Sausage This variety can be made into patties or links and crumbled into your favorite tofu scramble or potato hash. Chorizo-Style Sausage This variety is great for tacos and nachos. It can even add some Southwestern flair to your favorite pasta recipe. --These DIY meats will hit store shelves in August, so be sure to check with your local grocer.

And just last spring, America's first-ever vegan butcher shop, The Herbivorous Butcher, opened its doors in Minneapolis. Owned by brother and sister duo Aubry and Kale Walch, the shop offers 35 vegan meats as well as cheeses and butters. Now, yet another meatless “butcher” is making headlines: Atlas Meat-Free Delicatessen. With a brick-and-mortar location opening in early 2017, Atlas is set to become Miami's first all-vegan deli.
The sanctuary will ideally have approximately one hundred acres and be located in Minnesota. The sanctuary will not only provide a safe haven for neglected and abused farm animals, but will offer tiny houses for weekend rental, vegan cooking classes, yoga classes with the animals, vegan dinners on the farm, and more.They plan to provide a loving home for a variety of farmed animals, including cows, pigs, chicken, and goats, and will take an active role in advocating for a humane plant-based diet. Currently they are fundraising in order to secure land for the farm in Minnesota. If their incredibly popular butcher shop is any indication, this new endeavor is sure to help change hearts and minds about farmed animals and their cruel treatment by the meat industry. -- We can all take a stand for animals every time we sit down to eat by choosing animal-free foods.

Nestlé's Coffee-Mate just announced a new line of all-vegan creamers. No, you're not dreaming. According to Yahoo Finance, the multinational corporation is using almond and coconut milk to draw in the growing number of consumers demanding dairy-free alternatives. The company has added four new delicious, plant-based varieties to the “natural bliss” line: Vanilla Almond Milk, Caramel Almond Milk, Hazelnut Almond Milk, and Sweet Crème Coconut Milk. Health-conscious consumers can also get excited, as the new creamers are non-GMO and contain only a few other ingredients, such as pea protein, pure cane sugar, and vanilla. “We know the increasing popularity of plant-based, non-dairy creamers is not just a trend, but a consumer preference that is here to stay,” explains Coffee-Mate's brand director, Daniel Jhung. Except for the hazelnut variety, which is sold exclusively at Target stores, the all-vegan line is now available in 16-ounce containers at retailers nationwide. This launch is just one of many signs of the times. In fact, a recent Food Navigator article highlights a report by Allied Market Research that forecasts global sales of nondairy milk will reach $21.7 billion in the next six years, with North America leading the charge. Sales of almond milk are projected to be the fastest growing. With so many delicious alternatives, it's now easier than ever to ditch dairy! Ready to get started?
