Vegan Dining Out
What Can I Eat At McDonald's?
2015
In this segment, we're going to talk about various fast-foods and dining out facilities to see what we can eat there as a vegan. We cannot eat any foods coming from an animal, which includes dairy products and meat (this also includes eggs). Today we're going to talk about McDonald's. (Update: this post is based in the US and it is NOT satire)
Breakfast:
- Fruit & Maple Oatmeal (minus the cream, if allowed)
Lunch and Dinner:
- Burger with vinaigrette dressing and veggies (minus meat, cheese, and other dressings)*
- Salads with vinaigrette dressing (minus meat, cheese, and other dressings)
- Premium McWrap (minus meat, cheese, and the sauce it comes with)*
Sides:
- Apples
- Side Salad
- Snack Wrap (minus meat, cheese, and sauce)*
Desserts:
- N/A
Beverages:
- Apple Juice
- Fountain Drinks
- McCafe Coffee (black or with a sweetener: sugar, Splenda, or Equal)
- Orange Juice (overpriced; can buy a container at the grocery store for the same price)
- Water
Note: You can only use sweet n' sour sauce, barbeque sauce, marinara sauce, ketchup, or mustard. In addition, vinaigrette is the only dressing you can use. If you're trying to eat healthier, then vinaigrette and mustard are your best first options; the next in line is the marinara sauce. Sweet n' sour sauce and barbeque sauce would be last on the list.
So you're wondering what about fries and hash browns? Well, fries and hash browns are NOT vegan. They are both made with milk and beef flavoring. Don't make the mistake (like I did once) of believing someone working there or the manager when they say, "It's just regular fries that we cook in vegetable oil." McDonald's baked apple pie is also NOT vegan. It is made with L-Cysteine which comes from animal hair and feather. As you can see from this list, McDonald's have limited options for those of us on a vegan diet. It's not vegan friendly.
