Your Favorite Eight Superheroes’ Top Favorite Foods, Made Vegan!

Superhero stories have been around for years now, with the Golden Age of printed comics landing between 1932 and 1956. Since then, there have been countless adaptations of the stories. Currently, we live in a day and age where superhero movies are absolutely dominating at the box office, and are all the rage in popular culture. Who doesn’t want to be a superhero, after all?

While it’s not likely that any of us are going to get bitten by a radioactive spider like Peter Parker, or imbibe any super-soldier serum like Captain America, we were able to compile some educated guesses about what our beloved superheroes love to eat for nourishment. Imitation is the best form of flattery. Maybe imitating superhero food habits is the best way for us to become superheroes ourselves! With that in mind, please behold our 100 percent plant-based guide to your favorite superhero’s most loved food. From comforting pizzas to refreshing, creamy ice creams, we’ve got you covered!

Wonder Woman Loves Ice Cream!

Not only is Wonder Woman dedicated to saving the planet, but the actress who portrays her, Gal Gadot, is as well. Wonder Woman famously tries ice cream in several different superhero movies over the years. We can imagine her enjoying a cone of this Green Monster Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream before destroying actual monsters and then relaxing afterward with this Raw Blueberry Vanilla Ice Cream. This Coffee Ice Cream With Salted Caramel would also provide her with a caffeine boost if she was feeling low on energy.

Black Panther Likes Herbaceous Dishes!

The Black Panther title is actually passed on from generation to generation. When T’Chaka ate a rare African herb that was poisonous to many non-Wakadans, he earned the right to rule and the Black Panther persona, and then passed that on to T’Challa. If we were him, we’d be chowing down on this Brown Butter Gnocchi With Fresh Herbs out of respect for the power of plants. This Herb and Rice Salad With Beet Chips is also a fitting dish. We’d also read up as much as we could on medicinal herbs and how magical they are!

Captain America Loves Apple Pie!

Well, if he doesn’t, he should. What’s more American than apple pie, after all? While we’re a huge fan of the classic vegan and gluten-free Apple Pie, these individual Apple Pie Pastries would be great for eating on the go (and Captain America is always on the go). If he had more time to enjoy a home-cooked meal, we’re sure he’d love digging into this Deep Dish Apple Cinnamon Skillet Cake.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Love Pizza!

It’s a well-known fact that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are obsessed with fresh, hot pizza; there’s even a board game that proves it. While we’d opt to skip on some of their flavor combos (chocolate sprinkles and clam pizza? No, thanks!), there are plenty of savory and sweet pizzas we could get down with. Why not marry potatoes and pizza together with this crispy and gluten-free Hash Brown Pizza? If you’re feeling super hungry, this Buffalo Seitan Deep Dish pizza is sure to fill you up. Finish up with this delightful Cinnamon Crumb Dessert Pizza.

Thor Loves Creamsicles!

“This day, I am offered a creamsicle,” Thor exults in a comic panel. And he was never the same after tasting it. If you want to go the traditional route, we highly recommend these Vanilla Coconut Orange Creamsicles; just look how appetizing they are above! For superhero worthy-variations, we are drooling over these gluten-free Creamsicle Truffles and this inventive Creamsicle Cashew Milk.

Spider-Man Loves His Aunt May’s Pancakes!

Who doesn’t love homemade pancakes, made by a person who cares for you? Pancakes are Aunt May’s specialty in the Parker home, and they’re also easy to whip up with all plant-based ingredients! We are loving the aesthetic of these gluten-free Ombre Strawberries and Cream Pancakes, as well as the ease with which you can assemble these gluten-free Two Ingredient Pancakes. These Pistachio Pancakes With Cherry Syrup are some of the most innovative we’ve seen.

Superman Loves Beef Bourguignon With Ketchup!

Beef Bourguignon is a traditional French dish that is beloved by American hero Superman. He pours ketchup all over it, which is gross, but these plant-based versions of the dish are anything but. This Boeuf Bourguignon Végétalien is hearty and rich. You can also switch it up by transforming Superman’s fave into a Traditional ‘Beef’ Stew, or go all out and prepare this Seitan and Mushroom Bourguignon. Skip the ketchup, please.

Batman Loves Steak!

When Batman’s not busy brooding, he’s relaxing by cooking up (plant-based) steak! We highly recommend this Vegetable Protein Steak for a meaty, savory vegan steak, or this Portobello Mushroom Steak With Cheesy Rosemary Polenta for an excellent and beautiful interpretation of the classic dish. If you’re really in the mood for something different and vegetable forward, these Butternut Squash Steaks are tender and fall-inspired.
