29 Thoughts Every Vegan Has at Whole Foods (VIDEO)

As a plant-based eater, walking into a Whole Foods can be like taking a beautiful trip to a previously-imagined-mythical place called, “Oh My God, They Have Vegan Ranch” land. Let’s face it, major chain stores don’t have a tremendous amount in terms of vegan options, which makes the fact that you can walk away with plant-based cream cheese an almost heady experience.

So heady, in fact, that a simple trip there for some smoked paprika ends up being an hour long sojourn through the body care aisle where you leave $100 lighter in the wallet and the proud new owner of half a dozen vegan donuts, a sustainable cotton T-shirt, hemp protein powder for that smoothie recipe you bookmarked, a book about walnuts, a bag of rainbow colored carrots, and a pound of that lemon pepper tofu situation they had behind the deli case today. Man, that’s gonna be good over rice.

It’s not your fault! With so many choices at your normally choice-less disposal, it’s perfectly natural to get excited in the face of pre-made chia pudding pods and almond milk mochas. Try and resist all you want, but as a vegan, you’re going to be enticed by the plant-based ice cream selections. They make almond gelato now. Gelato. Resistance is futile.
