How To Order Vegan At Wendy"s

We are continuing our very popular, yet controversial, series on how to eat vegan at fast food restaurants.


After our last article, How to eat vegan at Taco Bell, I received over 20 complaint messages and lost over 100 Facebook fans. That is a lot of negative response. The problem with only looking at the negative vegans who messaged me is you have to compare it to the positive response. That was my most popular article in 3 weeks and I picked up over 400 new fans from that one post. Clearly most vegans like learning how to survive in the fast food jungle!


I have to travel a lot so I often find myself stranded in fast food hell. I also have a lot of friends and family that insist on going to eat at fast food restaurants and I like to spend quality time with those I love. One of the main reasons some people struggle with veganism is the alienation and isolation. Of course you can compensate for this by meeting new vegan friends. But you can’t replace your family. Sometimes compromises have to be made.


So with all of that being said, let’s look at how to order vegan at Wendy’s. Continued on the next page below.



Garden Side Salad

Most fast food restaurants have a side salad and Wendy’s is no exception. It’s not the largest salad ever but it will get the job done. And unlike a lot of fast food places you get more than one vegan dressing to choose from. You can have their Fat Free Ranch, Italian Vinaigrette, or the Pomegranate Vinaigrette Dressing. Note, the latter is not available at all stores.


There are a few things you can add into the salad or request more of to bulk it up. Those include apple slices, red onion and tomato.

Plain Baked Potato

I think Wendy’s is the only fast food chain to carry the baked potato. If you are a starch solution vegan then this is right up your alley. It’s definitely more filling than just a salad and if you get both it’s not a bad meal. Of course you can’t get the butter or sour cream that typically comes with it. I love ranch so I either just eat it plain with my salad or I cover it in their Fat Free Ranch dressing.


Of course you can also add a bun to your meals for some added carbs and energy if you like.


There are several vegan drink options at Wendy’s as well so you aren’t stuck with only water. I’ll run down that list for you on the next page.

Some vegans consume sugar and some don’t. So keep that in mind when choosing the sweetened drinks. Those would not be considered vegan for non sugar eaters. The drinks without any processed sugar are in bold.
