4 Awesome Vegan Options Available at TGI Friday’s!

Plant-based eating is becoming more and more normalized, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. These days, it’s almost surprising to visit a standard restaurant that doesn’t have at least several plant-based options on the list. From chains like Wagamama to 100 percent vegan companies like by CHLOE, plant-based cuisine is getting easier and easier to locate and find.
​
Following the exciting news that family-friendly restaurant TGI Friday’s is partnering with Beyond Meat to bring the widely lauded vegan Beyond Burger to six of their greater Boston locations through October, we got to thinking — what else can you order that’s vegan at TGI Friday’s? We checked out the menu and made you a go-to guide below!

We admit it: we’re jealous of the lucky Bostonians who can sample the Beyond Burger at TGI’s this October! The burger is unique in that it not only boasts a realistic “meaty” and juicy flavor profile, but it actually has a satisfying texture and “bleeds” beet blood. The burger also contains an impressive 20 grams of plant-based pea protein per patty, not to mention it contains no soy, gluten, or GMOs. Luckily, if the trial goes well, TGI’s might roll out the beyond burger at all of its locations in early 2018.
