VEGAN ALTERNATIVES

What do you do if you want to go vegan, but you ocassionally like to partake in a snack? Cheetos are out, string cheese is out. Here are our a few of our top choices for vegan alternatives for snacks and a variety of other items


1) Tings- A great alternative to Cheetos.


2) Garden Burger- It has been recommended on numerous ocassions, they do a good job on trying to stay vegan


3) Mellow Mushroom- They have various locations throughout Atlanta and offer a pineapple, onion and tempeh pizza with no cheese (also ask them to leave butter and parm off the crust). Also try the BBQ tempeh.


4) Cosmos Vegan Shoppe- Also have to give them a shout out. Being a vegan shop, they have pretty much anything you would want, including Tings, stuff for tofu scrambles (very tasty) and fabulous sweets from Dulce Vegan (very, very tasty, and made by fellow member, Idalys).


5) Teese- Use it for vegan mac n' cheese- another member recomendation.

Garden Burger's regular "Garden Burger" isn't vegan. According to their website, though, the following products are:


Vegan
Burgers

* Black Bean Chipotle
* California Burger
* Flame Grilled
* GardenVegan
* Veggie Medley

Veggie Specialties

* BBQ Riblets
* Breaded Chik’n
* Veggie Breakfast Sausage
* Chik’n Grill
* Herb Crusted Cutlet

I'm not shilling for this company, but they have some fun vegan "junk food".

Something new for Atlanta Vegans, Prince of Pizza: it is an Italian wood fired brick oven molded in Tuscany and sent to USA (California) where it was assembled by a mason onto a custom made single-axle trailer (both in Colorado), making it a mobile oven. The pizza I cook is topped with mashed and spiced San Marzano tomatoes, followed by Teese, with fresh basil and a swirl of extra-virgin olive oil. I am looking for a location to set up when not doing an event, but want the Atlanta vegans to hear about it first.
