$5 Lunch Challenge: Vegan Fast Food 🫘

Follow us on this delicious $5 Lunch Challenge, where we find a vegan fast food meal on a budget! We look for the most filling and budget-friendly lunch options. After trying our luck with various fast food options, the winning meal was a scrumptious bowl of Tim Horton's potato wedges paired with Chipotle beans, free hot sauce, ketchup, and a delightful McDonald's iced coffee!

[@firequeen9018]

Additional option: you go to Taco Bell and get 3 delicious spicy potato soft tacos without cheese. The perfect meal for all occasions

[@jennv2948]

And no chipotle sauce. Which makes it just potatoes and lettuce, lol. I personally prefer the fiesta veggie burrito with no dairy.

[@papatycoon4320]

Oh and no sour cream

[@user-ff2tz8zn4r]

This is in Canada Taco Bell is not as common

[@Gerardboard]

Yes Taco Bell is great for this and you can get it all fresco style or sub out the sour cream and cheese for other things

​@@preppy_cherryBlossom101 Fast food, vegan, under $5 _and_ filling? You're asking too much, mate. Tbh I'm surprised she even managed to get this much

[@rex_8618]

I'm seriously impressed with the way you pulled it off especially in this economy

[@astrce]

bro in pakistan you can get A LOT of food with 5 dollars

[@lfocoap4950ajf8]

⁠@@astrceunfortunately in America and Canada where I think this might have been, the cost of food is extremely high. It's hard to even survive off $200 USD a month for one person which used to be the recommended budget. In my area it takes almost 17 hours of work to make that money and that's before taxes

Too much work tbh. I just suck the the sauce out of the packet while eating.

[@chor17]

yes

[@luslulus]

Rip, this is the "there is no vegan option so u eat fries" meal

[@adidi7789]

So accurate lol, last time I was at McDonald's I ordered just fries and the person behind the counter looked at the people waiting and was like, "who ordered just fries?"

[@goeticfolklore]

@adidi7789 I don’t know how strict you are since I’m vegetarian but still eat them because it’s less than 1% of the ingredients but McDonald’s fries use natural beef flavoring.

[@ww6372]

Yeah the fries are seasoned with beef tallow. They're not vegan

[@adidi7789]

@@goeticfolklore Well, that's disappointing. Guess I won't be back. I'm only pescatarian so I eat fish but I also don't eat meat or meat products like lard/soup etc. I've messed up eating not technically vegetarian things like these fries before so I'm not freaking out but still very annoyed. Thanks for the info :)

[@goeticfolklore]

@@adidi7789 Of course! To clarify this only applies to America, everywhere else they do not have beef flavoring.

The fact that McDonald's doesn't have the MC vegan here is crazy to me

[@1312indeed]

McDonald's isn't vegan. At least here in Germany the word vegan is protected so they use plant based, cause they cook the plant bases burgers on the same grill as the ones with meat. Same with the nuggets
