Shopping Guide / Vegan Roasts
1. Shopping guide
Where do you find crave-worthy roasts?
Where do you buy vegan roasts?
Years ago, pre-made vegan options were nearly nonexistent—maybe one, and it wasn’t exactly easy to find.
Now, vegan choices are everywhere.
Mainstream grocery stores, natural food stores, co-ops, and even big-box retailers like Target and Walmart stock meatless options.
Check the refrigerated section, usually near the produce or oddly close to the dairy case. The freezer aisle is another good spot, especially for roasts.
If a local store doesn’t carry vegan options, a quick chat with a manager might change that. Many grocers are happy to special-order, and who knows? It could be the start of a vegan takeover.
