Hey everyone! Today, I’m super excited to share a fantastic video from one of my favorite YouTube channels, The Vegan Zombie. Chris, the creator behind this channel, is known for his fun and informative videos about vegan living, and this time, he’s taking us on a late-night adventure to Walmart to explore their vegan options. If you’re like me and always on the lookout for new vegan products, this video is a goldmine. So, let’s dive into the highlights and some personal insights from Chris’s Walmart haul.
Introduction to Vegan Finds at Walmart
Chris starts his journey in the produce section, but quickly skips over it since fresh fruits and veggies are a given. Instead, he focuses on the more unique and sometimes hidden vegan treasures. I love how he gives us a detailed look at each product, including the ingredients, and shares his personal favorites and opinions.
Snack Time!
One of the first things Chris spots are the Power Bites Very Berry from Great Value. These little bites are vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making them a great snack option. I think these would be perfect for a quick energy boost during the day.
Vegan Cheeses and Meats
In the refrigerated section, Chris highlights some staple vegan products like Tofurky slices, Vegenaise, and Follow Your Heart cheeses. He mentions that the Tofurky products can be a bit pricey, but they’re worth it if you’re looking for a good meat alternative. I personally love the Follow Your Heart cheeses—they melt beautifully and taste amazing!
Ice Cream and Sweet Treats
Chris finds some GoodPop Oat Milk Ice Cream Sandwiches that he hasn’t tried before. They look delicious but are a bit on the pricey side. He also spots Taipei Vegetable Egg Rolls that are labeled vegetarian but seem to be vegan based on the ingredients. I think these would make a great snack or appetizer for a vegan-friendly party.
Frozen Meals and Convenience Foods
The freezer section is packed with goodies like Incognito Eggoch Sandwiches, Gardein products, and MorningStar items. Chris advises caution with MorningStar as not all their products are vegan. He also raves about the Gardein Buffalo Wings and Buffalo Chicken Patties—I love anything buffalo-flavored, so these are definitely on my list to try!
Hidden Gems and New Finds
Chris discovers some new items like plant-based potstickers and what seems to be a vegan version of Spam. He’s excited to try these out and shares the ingredients for us to check. I think it’s always fun to experiment with new vegan products, especially when they’re intriguing like these.
Pantry Staples and Baking Needs
In the pantry section, Chris finds some surprising vegan items like Hungry Jack Pancake Mix and Idaho Spuds. He also highlights Oceans Halo products, which are certified vegan and perfect for making soups and broths. I love how he points out these hidden gems that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Sweet Treats and Snacks
Chris spots Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars, Annie’s Bunny Grahams, and Quinn Cheesy Pretzel Nuggets. He mentions that the Quinn pretzel nuggets are strangely addictive—I think I need to try these out for myself! He also finds Reese’s Vegan Peanut Butter Cups and Unreal M&Ms, which are some of my personal favorites for satisfying my sweet tooth.
Vegan Dairy Alternatives
In the refrigerated section, Chris shows us a wide variety of vegan yogurts and milks, including Walmart’s own brands. He also highlights vegan butters like Miyoko’s and Violife cream cheeses. I think it’s fantastic that there are so many options available now, making it easier than ever to find vegan alternatives.
Final Thoughts
Chris wraps up his Walmart adventure by reminding us to always check the labels, as some products labeled plant-based might still contain non-vegan ingredients. I love how thorough and informative he is, making it easy for us to navigate the sometimes confusing world of vegan shopping.
This video is a must-watch for anyone looking to expand their vegan options at Walmart. Chris’s enthusiasm and detailed insights make it both fun and educational. So, next time you’re at Walmart, keep an eye out for these vegan goodies and happy shopping!
