Girl Scout cookies are made in different plants depending on where you live. ![]() They introduced a new vegan cookie flavor this year so there is even more for you to enjoy. There are 5 vegan girl scout cookie flavors that you can totally eat and enjoy as part of your vegan diet and ethics. If you want to help the local neighborhood girl scout but aren’t sure which girl scout cookies are vegan then I have good news. Luckily I knew what flavors were vegan because I researched it last week so I loaded up! I was going into WalMart yesterday (yes I hate WalMart but that’s another blog post in itself), and the girl scouts were right at the entrance selling those delicious cookies. What about vegan girl scout cookies? I think most vegan’s know that thin mints are vegan. This is a phenomenon that stretches across all groups of people no matter their diet or ethics. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love girl scout cookies. Jennifer Chen is the Food Editor for VegNews Magazine. ![]() Check out her Instagram for a sugary delight of unicorn cakes, ombre designs, and bite-sized chocolate-covered waffles. She can customize to your heart’s desire, including what types of sugar you want. Technically, you can’t go to this bakery (since it doesn’t have a brick and mortar), but Yvonne Ardestani makes the most insanely beautiful birthday cakes-including baby smash cakes for first birthdays. Word to the wise: immediately grab them when you see them because they often sell out quickly. The popular spot also features a mushroom and cashew cheese empanada. The soy chorizo and pinto beans and rice are my go-to items to order for the kids. My family and I always snag a mixed berries empanada for a sweet treat of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, with a hint of brown sugar. This homey spot in Burbank has a handful of freshly baked vegan empanadas. My personal favorite menu items are the vegan Pilgrim (with veg turkey slices, cranberry sauce, and a hint of Sriracha) and the Meatless Mike (veg meatballs packed inside with marinara sauce and a vegan cheese). Opt for the Dutch crunch bread, which is the best bread for sandwiches ever made. There’s even a kid’s menu with mini versions of the bigger sandwiches. In San Francisco, you’ll often see a line wrapped around the block, but in LA, it’s more relaxed. This storied sandwich shop is the stuff of legends. Be sure to snag the vegan Frozato as your ice cream dessert! For fast eats, Hugo’s Tacos in Atwater Village and Sherman Oaks are great for grab-and-go meals. Pint-sized sippy cups, placemats that double as coloring pages, and a stack of crayons make it easy to dine out. Order the sticky buns for dessert (picture churro-like doughnuts). The veggie and black bean tacos are out of this world. You’ll spot kids and an occasional celebrity at Hugo’s, which is a local chain of vegan-friendly restaurants. The kid-sized cup is perfect for little eaters, and if you snag a table in the back courtyard for a serene experience (or as serene as it can be with kids in tow), you’ll be a happy camper. The housemade strawberry lemonade is not too sweet and my kids find it extremely refreshing on a hot summer day.Ĭhloe and Claire love this vegan frozen yogurt shop, specifically the Strawberry Serenity with fresh chopped strawberries. The kids’ menu’s vegan chicken fingers, sweet potato fries, and mandarin oranges are must-eats. Ask for mini-clay for the table to sculpt while you and your kiddos are waiting for your ‘za to arrive. We adore The Steak Salad, which can be easily veganized with Field Roast sausage and cashew cheese. My girls, Chloe and Claire, love all-things-mushroom and the cremini and enoki mushrooms are always cooked perfectly. The field mushroom pizza with the housemade cashew cheese is a family favorite. Your tots will love the enclosed play space that has a play kitchen and cookware, felt food, and childrens’ books. The Silver Dollar kids special with vegan pancakes, avocado, tofu scramble, and mushroom sausage patties is the best brunch item on the menu. ![]() Hope your kids love them as much as my girls. I chose these specific restaurants for their delicious dishes and for having play spaces, high chairs, or activities for kids that make life a little easier for veg parents. As the VegNews food editor and a mom to two hungry twin toddlers, I have compiled my favorite family-friendly eats around this city I call home. You basically can’t trip without landing on a vegan cupcake, and with so many vegan restaurants everywhere, it’s difficult to know where to begin eating. Los Angeles was not named the number one vegan city in America by VegNews for nothing the place is a playground of plant-based cuisine. ![]()
