\"SubwayCommuters, city centre workers and people heading into towns for a spot of shopping will almost certainly have seen a Subway shop, if not gone in and ordered one of their famous subs (or sandwiches, if you prefer). Subway also have a growing presence in suburban towns and are a popular choice that is slightly healthier than many fast food rivals. But what options do Subway offer for those following a plant-based diet? In this article, we\u2019ll assess what vegan sandwiches<\/a> they have available and we\u2019ll run through their other vegan food offerings too.<\/p>\n

As with most fast food outlets, whether other sandwich-orientated food brands like Pret<\/a> or more traditional fast food outlets, such as McDonald\u2019s<\/a>, Subway warns about the possibility of cross-contamination with non-vegan products. This will be of concern to anyone with severe milk or egg allergies, but most vegans will be happy enough with any products that contain only plant-based ingredients (as most are with things, like Oreos<\/a>, which also include some cross-contamination risk).<\/p>\n

Vegan Food Offered at Subway<\/h2>\n

The main product available at Subway is their sandwiches \u2013 or subs, which stands for \u201csubmarine sandwich\u201d due to the shape of the baguette-style rolls used. As such, we\u2019ll kick things off here with the vegan-friendly sandwiches that are listed on the Subway menu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note that these sandwiches are still constructed by the so-called Subway Sandwich Artist in the shop so you can tweak the ingredients as you see fit. But if you\u2019re in a hurry and you just want a sandwich that you know will be vegan, these are the options for you.<\/p>\n

T.L.C. (Tastes. Like. Chicken)<\/h3>\n

\"SubwayIt\u2019s quite a claim that the plant-based filling in this sarnie \u201ctastes like chicken\u201d, but \u2013 at least as far as memory serves \u2013 the claim is actually pretty valid. There\u2019s plenty of scope to pack this with your favourite salad items to add even more plant goodness.<\/p>\n

Meatless Meatball Marinara<\/h3>\n

\"SubwayWith around 23g of vegan protein in a 6\u201d sub, the Meatless Meatball Marinara will both fill you up and give you a boost if you\u2019re seeking extra protein power. Crucially, it also tastes pretty nice too! It works very well with the vegan-friendly \u201ccheese\u201d slices and makes for a hearty lunch.<\/p>\n

Plant Patty<\/h3>\n

\"SubwayThe vegan patties at Subway might not necessarily be to everyone\u2019s taste, it has to be said. They are a bit like what vegan burgers used to be like before the likes of Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods got involved to make vegan burgers that taste like meat burgers.<\/p>\n

But if you are a fan of vegetables squashed together into the shape of a burger, then this could be appealing to you. It\u2019s the least enticing vegan sarnie option for us though, truth be told.<\/p>\n

Veggie Delite<\/h3>\n

\"SubwayThis is also available as one of the Kids\u2019 Pak options. This is the healthiest vegan sandwich option of those on the menu and it is very low in fat and lower in calories than the other vegan picks available. It\u2019s essentially a salad sandwich, so it is up to you whether you consider that to be a delight (or even a \u201cDelite\u201d).<\/p>\n

Other Vegan Food at Subway<\/h3>\n

Unlike some other food chains, there aren\u2019t too many other options in general at Subway, let alone vegan-specific offerings. Here are the other vegan-friendly products available at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
