Yes, us vegetarians resort to fast food every once in a while, too, and unless you're lucky enough to catch the vegan hot dog guy in LA, or you live in Manhattan, the options can be pretty limited, not to mention unhealthy, so a new addition to the on-the-run options is always welcome! Jamba Juice has added two vegetarian items and a vegan sandwich to their menus in California as of today, and will be bringing them nation-wide over the next few months. With no trans fats and no high-fructose corn syrup, this is probably the healthiest fast-food items any chain restaurant is offering. Not that we don't all love the BK veggie burger and Canada's KFC vegetarian chicken sandwiches!
The new vegan "Greens and Grain Wrap" has quinoa, hummus and veggies wrapped in a spinach tortilla with mango vinaigrette (yum!), or you can try the vegetarian "Greek Goodness" wrap, an artichoke or cheese bread on the side or a vegetarian couscous salad (pictured). Sounds delish! Have any of you Californians tried these yet? Let us all know how they are!
I'm still waiting for Jimmy John's to add a vegan option to their menu!

Does this mean Burger King has vegie burgers?
“BK veggie burger”
Yup. Burger King has a veggie burger at almost every single location, just about everywhere in the world. I’ve found one or two at airports (I’m looking at you LAX!!!) that don’t have them.
Subway also has the Veggie Max, which is a rectangular shaped veggie burger patty. It’s a lot like the BK Veggie, except it’s a bit much for me-I feel bloated after eating it.
Just thoroughly enjoyed the Greens & Grains Wrap w/ mango sauce from Jamba Juice. It was absolutely delicious! AND healthy. Great creation from Jamba. Never knew that quinoa can be so good! Yum.
