Trader Joe’s Launches Vegan Ramen!

Trader Joe’s is a hotspot for many vegans looking for groceries, and it is understandable why. We already knew that they had easy weeknight dinner options and an impressive array of vegan products to make your life easier. Trader Joe’s definitely has a vegan’s back, and they’ve upped their game even more with the announcement on Monday that they are releasing a vegan instant ramen, providing us with a plant-based version of the dorm room staple.

This Miso Ramen Soup comes in the standard cup that you would expect from an instant ramen, along with a seasoning packet that contains miso, garlic, umami flavors and seaweed. While these are pretty standard for ramen, this product sets itself apart by also including a packet of blended sunflower and sesame oils to ensure that your noodles are creamy and delicious. In the words of the store, “By adding both the packet of seasonings and the packet of oil to your cup of dry noodles before preparation, you ensure not only a delightfully savory broth, but a silky-smooth texture for your noodles—the days of dry-textured instant noodles are over.”

This is not the first vegan product release from Trader Joe’s that we have been excited about – there was the Miyoko’s Vegan Cream Cheese release earlier this summer, as well as a Jackfruit Curry Frozen Meal and Coconut Whipped Cream last year. However, this release stands out as a classic and easy go-to comfort food that many know and love – and have been dying for a vegan version of! If this sounds like your kind of meal, you can grab the Miso Ramen Soup at Trader Joe’s at a low price of $1.29 for a 1 and 1/2-ounce cup. Check it out!
