Vegan at Costco? Here Are Our Top Plant-Based Picks
Wondering about the vegan options at Costco? This beloved wholesale company is a surprisingly vegan-friendly retailer and recently made headlines for ditching its polish hot dog from the food court menu and replacing it with healthy vegan options.
Business Insider explains:
The new menu items, which include an al pastor salad with plant-based protein and an acai bowl with fresh fruit and Kirkland granola, are healthier than many of the other food-court offerings and can be vegan-friendly.
But it’s not just the food court. Costco offers a ton of vegan products—in bulk! We’ve put together a list of our top picks. Now all you need to do is find a friend with a Costco membership and go wild!
