How to Eat Vegan At Chipotle | Vegan While Out

Being a vegan will definitely sharpen your culinary chops, but if you're like me, eating out is just as fun.

It's nice when my food options aren't limited to just french fries and salad (sometimes this happens lol), so I appreciate when companies make an effort to put vegan friendly options on the menu.

I came across this chart on Facebook that does a quick breakdown on how to eat vegan at Chipotle.

I usually order rice, black beans, fajita vegetables, guacamole and lettuce in my bowl or burrito.

Have you tried the sofritas yet? I wrote about my experience with it here.

I also put together a video with 7 tips on how to enjoy eating out as a vegan....

Happy dining out!

Vegan While Out: Pizza FAIL-With Vlog

I love date night and always feel like we just don't have enough of them.  We hung out in Arlington and had "pizza" at Vapiano. Pizza is in quotes because our pie was more like a cracker or breadstick than a regular pizza.

This experience is an example of why it's so important to be clear when omitting ingredients.  I ordered a regular pizza with garlic and tomatoes; not realizing the sauce was a goat paste. When I saw the cook bringing out the cheese paste, I asked him to skip the dairy and assumed he would use tomato sauce when we walked away. Umm, no. lol

This situation was totally my fault for not being clear with him.  Lesson Learned. lol

Next time I will save myself the hassle with a basic bowl of noodles and marinara sauce. 

Here's a short vlog I did with clips from that night.  I'm working on my vlogging skills, so bare with the some of the lighting and angle issues. 

Do you run into issues when ordering plant-based meals while dining out?
