You guys are the cutest! These companies that charge the same amount for a meal without the protein and want to up charge for the plant based protein need to get with it. I complained about it to my local Panera and the manager said they should just replace the protein, not charge extra so give it a try if you order in person.
Today we got $8 of vegan food at Taco Bell. A bean burrito with extra beans, plus rice, no cheese. A black bean burrito with extra beans plus red sauce, no cheese. An order of potatoes, no cheese or sour cream. 2 sides of red sauce, 2 sides of guacamole, and lots of packets of hot sauce: Hot, Fire, and Diablo!!!! 😋😋😋❤👍
i am often the one guy who orders6 sidedishes to get a decent meal i feel it totally^^ But sometimes no fries because they fry in animal fat or they use the same oil where some meat gets deepfried too
I went to a theme park a couple of days ago, and they literally had nothing for vegans I was so hungry and literally just ate fries because even the salads had meat
I had cold stone silk ice cream the other day with peanut butter and oreos. So good! Glad its not close to my house otherwise I would be there way too often
20:50 Oh my gosh, you looked so so cute in the dessert shot. The fleeces, the hairstyles...just all about it screamed "cool old-school" for me. Thanks for making me smile!
I am glad you actually had a good time filming this video for us - was great to see you genuinely excited to try something new! Having said that, it is just INSANE places like Panera don't offer decent substitutions free of charge and allow you to purchase this plain bowl of lettuce with a piece of bread at full price. This should be outlawed XD . Anyways, sending you lots of love! Have a great end of this week!
Thank you for always working so hard to make each and every single one of your videos hyper entertaining and yet still really detailed with information about how to do things as I have started having an increasingly hard time cooking and move to a town of 7400 people who all eat meat there is no vegan or vegetarian options at any of the restaurants we have and we do not have any vegetarian or vegan options sold in any of our grocery stores including our local Walmart who is owned by a slaughter farmer so he literally laughed in my face when I asked him if he could order me vegan things for the meat department to sell
Noodles here also has meat subs if that's your thang..."chicken" and "meatballs." I always go back to the Japanese pan with tofu though. I'm so glad he asked how to twirl noodles on chopsticks because I was marveling at Sarah's technique. I'm going to have to watch that a few (thousand) more times so I can get the hang of it!
I never bother with Starbucks but I go everywhere else! These are all relevant restaurants very near me and I love hearing you guys talk about the things I order. Validating whether or not I have good taste.. I believe you guys do. 😋 See you two interact is very very sweet, too. 🥰
Starbucks also has oatmeal that is vegan. It's instant oatmeal, but if you get the blueberry oatmeal, it comes with a little container of fresh blueberries and nuts (in a little baggie, in case you're allergic like me) and is pretty good. It's not amazing, but it's a solid choice. It's instant oatmeal, after all. Better than a plain bagel.
I like the dessert from Coldstone, but I agree I wouldn't go out of my way to get it, mostly due to the price. I am glad though they have it when the rest of my family wants to go there and I can get something. We LOVE these places. We get Noodles and company a lot and sometimes Panera/St. Louis Bread Company. I believe the Ten vegetable is, at least last time I look. I tend to get the Mediterranean sandwich too. We get the udon a lot and pad Thai in our house.
Thank you so much for making this video guys! I a love your home cooked meals and often am inspired to adding more veggies that I usually am not thinking of in your meals. I struggle to think of any vegan fast food options might want to have when I'm in the go and that sandwich from Panera look deeelish! Can't wait to try it 😊 Ya'll are great.
When Sarah said "we need some sriracha" I panicked for a second cause I ran out the other day and didn't buy a new one yet... as if we live together? Though sriracha has been ruined in europe (or sweden at least) since they removed the spice in it....
I love your channel! There are three products you HAVE to try: Babybel plant-based cheese, Boursin dairy-free cheese, and Lindt Oatmilk chocolate bars... especially the salted caramel one! I promise you will love them all! 🌝
At Panera you might as well have gotten their Café salad and changed the salad. When I worked there, that sandwich was called the “Mediterranean veggie”
When we are on a trip, I get the Greek salad at Panera and take cheese off, and I add almonds, cucumber, quinoa, and avocado. Unfortunately, like Sarah said, it costs money to do this…..but there are options
Thanks, this was a great video, as always! I'm not a big "eat-out, carry-out" person myself. And yes, before I went vegan when I lived in NYC there were so many great Chinese food restaurants (and great vegan ones as well), even hole-in-the-wall places, that I only ate Panda Express when I was in the airport, lol!
you need to try the cado chocolate ice cream! it’s a little bit on the pricy side, i get it from target but it’s more expensive at whole foods in my area so just check the prices :) it’s so good! best one i’ve tried yet for vegan chocolate ice cream alternatives
Do you have Indian food near you? They always have a lot of vegetarian options, but a lot of vegetarians are becoming vegan in India. I have been seeing recently vegan options becoming more common on their menus, at least in Arizona and New Mexico.
I also tried many ways to make coffee. Had even nespresso machines twice during my life. Have an italian Bialetti and a Gaggia Espresso maker. Both still in use. But most of the time I grind my beans in a 20 Euro grinder and brew it in a porcelain filter like my grandma. Have a milk foamer too and together it makes a very good coffee. would never buy nespresso again, it's so expensive you can use instead every coffee and grind your self vor a cheaper price. Also the aluminium ist problematic even if recycled. For the US it's even more problematic because recycling is mandatory in the majority of the states so those aluminium capsules are just dumped. Such a waste of recourses.
Unfortunately, I've almost always found that vegan ice cream is a little icier. It's one of the few substitutions my spouse does not like, with very few exceptions.
Panera did offer a vegan Minestrone soup, but that was discontinued a few weeks ago. Their black bean soup is vegan, but is also only seasonally available. They seem to be on a 3 month schedule, as far as revising their soup offerings. So for now, no vegan soup (at least: in Arizona). Panda Express did offer a vegan orange chick'n entrée temporarily, but that has since been rescinded.
Panda Express does not have any vegetarian thay say this on the web page Ingredients are based upon standardized recipes. Variations in nutrition values may occur based upon regional and seasonal ingredient differences, packaging differences and menu items being individually hand served. Panda uses ingredients that contain all the major FDA allergens (peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shellfish, milk, soy and wheat). Panda prepares its entrees fresh with shared cooking equipment and therefore allergens could be present in any entree. Panda Express does not have any vegetarian or gluten free dishes. No MSG added except for that naturally occurring in certain ingredients. so it is good you did not eat thare
If you think it's okay to pay $12 for some lettuce in a plastic container,you are whacked. Just goes to show how downhill this country has become in the last 6months and people are trying to make it the norm,it's insanity.
Ugh, that salad from panera is just sad looking. You know you are paying like 8 dollars for basically what is icebery lettuce with some dressing. No additional toppings whatsoever. but everything else looked decent.
Panera is very disappointing on the salad for not allowing substitutions for the chicken. Thanks for exploring Panera because I had no idea about the sandwich.
Yeah, I dont eat at Panera anymore because Im not a fan of the Mediterranean sandwhich, and they have very little that is vegan friendly. I used to loooove me some Panera. I hope they bring in options for us in the future though.
The last 3 times I’ve ordered from Panera I’ve gotten my Mediterranean veggie sandwich 1) on wrong bread, no avocado I paid extra for, and with the cheese I requested be left off 2) went back and they fixed the bread & avocado and still had cheese 3) new day no avocado again and with cheese. They are nice about getting it fixed but I’ve learned my lesson. I will not leave the parking lot without unwrapping and checking everything. The salad is such a ripoff. Use to love it when they had the soba noodles & edamame bowls you could make vegan. The grain bowl with hummus & black olives was a favorite until they messed up my order so many times and made me royally sick once when I had no time to go back and had to pick off stuff or not eat lunch. I believe the vegetable soup is vegan. I love their ice tea. 💗
Listen I felt you when you said you're feeling the online pickup. I've literally picked somewhere else to eat just to avoid human contact. I plan out what I'm going to order in the car before I go in to some places without online ordering.
Thank you for all of the info about the restaurants. I got some good ideas on what I could order. And I'm super excited about the Silk ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. I'm thinking I might need a chocolate shake since I haven't had one in a couple of decades. 😋🤗😃
OMG! We have to thank you for introducing us to Noodles and Company restaurant! We live in AZ and there are not a lot of restaurants with decent vegan options.... After watching you guys we googled the name and there is one located 25 minutes away. We are making plans to try it real soon! Thank you so much, we loves you guys🙂❤❤
Long time first time here. I love watching your recipes because you're one of the only recipe developers that season properly (meaning lots and at every stage 😍)But I also really enjoy seeing you two together, you are so sweet, silly and genuine, your connection is so warm. Thanks for the lovely content!
You have to go to Panda inn! Not crappy Panda Express (that's the fast food version of the real thing)... But PANDA INN!!! The tofu eggplant is the best in the world!
I can’t with starbucks 😂 ”Oh you’re vegan? Here’s some CARROTS AND SEEDS!!!”
Also, there are almonds in EVERYTHING, so screw you if you're vegan and have nut allergies. 🙃🙃🙃
And extra for plant-based milk
👏🏽👏🏽🗣🗣 so true ! Like wth!
@@thetruthhurts599 😂

Taco Bell and Chipotle are two of my favorite places for vegan fast food!!
@@callmesg_16 Same here!!! Incredible options & affordable!!
That Panera salad is exactly what you would get when eating out with a bunch of meat eating people, just add a side of fries and you're all set lol
i am often the one guy who orders6 sidedishes to get a decent meal i feel it totally^^ But sometimes no fries because they fry in animal fat or they use the same oil where some meat gets deepfried too
I went to a theme park a couple of days ago, and they literally had nothing for vegans I was so hungry and literally just ate fries because even the salads had meat
We were there for eight hours and they had no fruit cups either so I was miserable. You can’t even bring your own food 😭
I had cold stone silk ice cream the other day with peanut butter and oreos. So good! Glad its not close to my house otherwise I would be there way too often

Panera near me has some vegan soup options and the sourdough bread bowl is vegan too!

Whenever I get the pan noodles, I bring it home and ADD steamed zoodles to it on my own. It’s perfection!
Noodles here also has meat subs if that's your thang..."chicken" and "meatballs." I always go back to the Japanese pan with tofu though. I'm so glad he asked how to twirl noodles on chopsticks because I was marveling at Sarah's technique. I'm going to have to watch that a few (thousand) more times so I can get the hang of it!
They use to have a black bean soup that was so good. They may have a vegan veggie soup. It's been a while.
yes! I miss that soup 🍲

Cold stone has the best flavored vegan chocolate ice cream. I ask them to fold in peanut butter and it’s soooo good!
Really enjoyed this video . Thank you guys
Hey Sarah absolutely love your channel. Hey Eric I wanna thank you for your contributions to Sarah's channel, it shows!
Love you guys.
When Sarah said "we need some sriracha" I panicked for a second cause I ran out the other day and didn't buy a new one yet... as if we live together? Though sriracha has been ruined in europe (or sweden at least) since they removed the spice in it....

Noodles & Co. is our go-to fast food spot. The pan noodles are amazing, and every location I've been to does a great job with the tofu. 😍
OMG I heavily belly-laughed at 9:20 at "But...don't get this." 🤣🤣
Absolutely love the honesty!
I love the Mediterranean veggie sandwich. I haven’t had it on that bread. I’ll have to try it.
I love Noodles & Co’s Udon Noodles w/Tofu.
You guys have such a sweet dynamic.
Fun video! We truly cannot believe that Panera charges $12 for essentially a bowl of lettuce! Shame on them!
The trader joe’s chocolate non dairy ice cream is delicious! It’s so smooth and I personally love coconut
At Panera you might as well have gotten their Café salad and changed the salad. When I worked there, that sandwich was called the “Mediterranean veggie”
Those are the videos I'm up for! Love it!
i second the idea that panera is super popular on the east coast. also, the vegetable soup is vegan!
Love u guys. LGM. The Panera by me in the capital region of NY has vegan soup options frequently and sourdough bread bowls. 😅
Great video! Wish u had the vegan options y’all got written out in the description so I could be more lazy though lol
I would honestly watch your videos all day
There's a Panda Express on my campus! I had never eaten there before transferring to my current school. They have vegan orange "chicken" now!!
When we are on a trip, I get the Greek salad at Panera and take cheese off, and I add almonds, cucumber, quinoa, and avocado. Unfortunately, like Sarah said, it costs money to do this…..but there are options
Sarah, to the salad, add mini tomatoes, avocado and chickpeas, cucumbers,and apple.
Love all your videos!
@20:50 thank you for that that info because I probably wouldn't enjoy the sweetened noods 👌👌
I feel like the vegan/vegetarian sandwiches are hit or miss at Panera depending on the season.
fr the hold panera has on long island & idk why😂😭
Thanks, this was a great video, as always! I'm not a big "eat-out, carry-out" person myself. And yes, before I went vegan when I lived in NYC there were so many great Chinese food restaurants (and great vegan ones as well), even hole-in-the-wall places, that I only ate Panda Express when I was in the airport, lol!

I grew up on LI and never had cold stone either! Carvel is def more popular here but Ralphs is my preferred option
Panera's vegetable soup is vegan friendly.
I don't understand why Panera is so popular. It's overrated. But if I had to go there I would get the sandwich because I trust your taste buds.
You guys need to get the veggie soup at Panera it’s incredible!
Also I get their salads all the time and add a bunch of things on for free! They’re huge and really good!
The sodium in Panera soups is horrible. Look it up.
Do you have Indian food near you? They always have a lot of vegetarian options, but a lot of vegetarians are becoming vegan in India. I have been seeing recently vegan options becoming more common on their menus, at least in Arizona and New Mexico.
Love the Mommy Tang shout out.
Awesome video as always 😊
This was cool. I'd watch more of these.
LGM! Smashburger now has "animal free" dairy milkshakes at all locations.
Yea Sarah is back aha I love your channel
You two are the cutest🥰
Jealous of your Panera sandwich! Mine is never that big!
That was really interesting. Thank you.
It looked like there was feta in your sandwich 😳. (I used to work at panera back in the day)
I love your fleece pull over at the dinner portion of the video. Where is it from?
I thought the bites would be choke worthy too!

Wow, I'm a vegan who worked at Camp Alvernia too! What are the odds?
You're right, Chinese food on Long Island is really good!
Nice!

I think he was trying to say main stay.
That med sandwich is even better if you ask them to toast it! And the 10 veg soup is vegan, but not that flavorful :-(
Haven’t checked in in a while. having a sad panic attack, am i ever going to find a partner. Sweet couple
Great. Idea forget the fried food

Noodles and Co. also just recently added an Orange impossible chicken lo mein. I haven’t tried it yet but happy to see more options becoming available
You and your partner seem like best buds

This video was super helpful I’m always wondering what to get at restaurants when eating out.
i LOVE the japanese pan noodles from noodles & co w siracha on top! i get it whenever i’m out by one and hungry.
Also, noodles are life, aren't they? Your dinner looked spectacular!
Left this playing while showering and ended up listening to a poop ad and a bank ad. Gotta love UA-cam business. 😐
