Eating Vegan Fast Food for 24 Hours #3

Good morning! We just finished our HIIT workout. Where's my coffee at? I'm having matcha. Chris is having coffee. Excuse the appearance. Like Chris said, we just worked out. But we're back for another vegan fast food video. Part three. It's going to be a very exciting day today because I get to eat fast food all day. Yes. It's just one of my favorite things. But this is going to be a little bit of a different episode because I'm starting Whole Foods Plant Based Fitness Fueled 30 till 30 on Wednesday. And today's Monday so you might not be watching this on a Monday. But this is the last time I'm really going to be able to eat fast food for a month. Or any kind of junk food. I'm scared. It's going to be... You've got to savor every bite. We don't have to stuff ourselves until we're going to throw up, but just savor every bite. Totally. Make dude smart. Because this might be the last taste of anything junky I have in a little while. Just for a month. Yeah. We'll see what happens. We'll see how I feel, you know? Anyways. We have an exciting day. Anyway. No! I'm just kidding. Sorry. We have an exciting day planned for you guys. We have a lot of food planned. Don't want to spoil anything. We are not telling you where we're going. Yeah. But it's going to be good because we've got some brand new vegan food that just launched. If you guys know, you're going to see it in this video. Let's go. I'm excited. We're going to get our day started right now, actually. Alright. I'm holding this with my hands. Let's hope it doesn't fall. For the first two videos, we took everything to go. It created a lot of waste and that wasn't the most ideal way to do this. So for round three, we're trying to go as low waste as possible. So right now, we're at Jamba Juice. I don't know if we'll be able to do a totally no waste. But we're going to try our best. We're going to do our best. Ask them what we can do, bring our own utensils, bring our own cups, all of that. Just to... We'll see what happens. Do the best we can. See what happens and then maybe you guys can do the same when you guys visit these places if you do after seeing this video. So for breakfast, typically I don't eat breakfast. I usually do intermittent fasting until around noon. But for the sake of this video, we are at Jamba Juice right now. Jamba. And we have our reusable cups and straws. Yes. And the exciting thing about this is that they give you 10% off when you bring your own cups. So you totally should. And last time we came, I found out they also have like boosts and I think they have vegan protein to add, right? Yeah, they do. And I haven't been to Jamba Juice in so long, but they have a lot of stuff now and it's not just juice and smoothies. They have like acai bowls. Maybe I'm gonna... Uh, but I don't think I'd put that in my cup. Maybe I'll ask. That'll be good. From my cup. Um, so the first time we did Starbucks, the first video. Second, we did Burger King. Mm-hmm. And I'm a little bit healthier. Yeah. I mean... Much needed, I think. And I'm actually so excited. I... Chris knows. I love Jamba Juice. Like we're just like in bed and I'm like, I'm craving Jamba Juice. Even though I can go downstairs and make a smoothie, like it's not the same. Um, so... I used to go to Jamba Juice all the time too. Me too. It was a big fan. Get those wheatgrass shots. Oof. Yeah. Total. All right. Let's go. Greens and ginger. Possible to put the first one here? Okay. Thank you so much. That's cool. Our strawberry... Strawberry Whirl. Greens with ginger. Got our straws and cups and things. Can I try this? Yeah. That's really good. That's really fresh. It tastes like ice cream. So we just got our smoothies. I got strawberry Whirl. Chris got greens and... Really good. Really fresh. Um, the two workers that are making our smoothies and got us our pretzel, just by habit, they put our stuff in the plastic container for one of the smoothies and then for the pretzel, they put it in the paper and then they transferred it to our own containers. And I'm not mad about it. I think it's just... It's just... It's the instinct. Yeah. It's instinct to do that. So hopefully like in the future, um, more and more people will bring their own containers and they'll, they'll be more proactive and like thinking, oh wait, do they bring their own thing or do I need to use one of the plastic ones? So still cool. And by um, they gave us 10% off everything. So each item, I think we saved a dollar 50 by bringing all of our own stuff. Yeah. The lady was like... At least they incentivize people to do it. Yeah. Which is cool. She was like, I don't know if I should... I'm supposed to give you a discount for bringing your own container for the pretzel, but I'm going to. So yeah, we've got our pretzel. Um, we're not going to eat this until we get home just so we can properly film and like get home. Yeah. Um, so we're going to go home and then we'll talk to you. All right. We're going to try this. We took some thumbnail photos. Tied my hair. Wait, hold on. I didn't take a real photo of this yet. You guys, um, I'm going to audition for American Idol next year. It's been my dream since I was a little kid and, uh, let you know what happens. Hey. I actually really wanted to audition when I was little. I thought I could sing. And then I like... Then your brother told you. Well, yeah. And then when I got a cell phone and I had the capability of actually recording myself, I was like, oh no. I'm going to put you down, baby. I gotta eat. All right. So we have this apple cinnamon pretzel. Let's both take a bite. It smells really good. I want to mention when I was... It's Lady and the Tramp this ----. Wait, wait, wait. Sorry. When I was in elementary school and high school, I used to always get a strawberries wild and apple cinnamon pretzel. And it was my favorite thing in the world. And now I can get strawberry, what is this called? Strawberry world. This one is vegan. And this is vegan. I didn't even know. Is this like just over complicating things? I couldn't reach my straw. All right. Let's Lady and the Tramp this. I like it. It's pretty good. It's not too sweet. I don't know. It's simple. It's okay. It's good. It's soft, which I appreciate because I've had some hard ass pretzels in my life. Bless you. I bet it's got raisins in it, bud. Oh, no. Mm-mm. Apple cinnamon. Raisin. So, good breakfast. Easy. Quick. So that. Affordable. Discounted with your own container. Breakfast is a success. Yes. So I guess we'll see you guys for lunch. Oh, yeah. We got some exciting stuff planned. I'm going to shower. Yeah. We have a lot of fun things planned. We got to get to work. See you guys soon. Peace. It's time for lunch. I am so hungry and so ready. Absolutely. That smoothie for breakfast. It was good, but I'm starving. The pretzel helped, though. Honestly. Yeah. If we just had the smoothie, I think we would have been here like two hours ago eating. For sure. Eating lunch at like what time? 11. So it's 1.20 right now. Yeah. We would have probably eaten that like directly. Yeah. Or like an hour ago. Yeah. Or like an hour after. So for lunch today, we're going a little bit outside of the box in terms of fast food. But these are everywhere, so I feel like it's not something that's out of the ordinary in that sense. Totally. It might not be as accessible as like McDonald's or ... But we're at Ikea, so ... So apparently they just added a veggie dog to their menu, which is cheaper than their meat hot dog. So I think they're only $0.75. 75 cents. Yeah. Which is awesome. And they also have veggie balls, like meatballs that they added last year or a few years ago. They've had that for a while. Yeah. They've had them for a little while. So we're going to check out the food here. I've never actually eaten at Ikea before. I've eaten ... We've had the pretzels to go, and then my mom has purchased the veggie balls that we've eaten at home. But yeah, I've never eaten at Ikea. And apparently there's a cafe here, you said? Yeah, like a bistro, they call it. I don't know. We brought container and utensils. I don't know how exactly it's going to work inside in terms of the food we get, but we're going to try our best to use these. Yeah, hopefully they'll let us use those. Yeah, and we're eating here, so I feel like it's going to be a little better in terms of low waste. So let's do this. I'm hungry. I'm going to eat probably like six hot dogs. Probably. Really? And maybe like two orders of meatballs? That's a lot. I definitely want a hot dog though. Hell yeah. I'm so excited. Can I just finish this? I don't want to bring this in. Yeah. Okay. We'll see you guys inside. All right. Here is the vegan plate. It has ancient greens, veggie balls with coconut curry sauce, and some vegetables. This is what we're starting off with. Chris got that over there as well. The hot dogs are actually downstairs. They're not in the restaurant, so we're going to get that before we leave. Cheers to us. All right. Here we go. So this was only $3.99, which is insane. It's actually really good. How's the sauce? Is it spicy? Do you think I'll think it's spicy? No? Coconut curry. It looks really fresh. It's actually really good. There's mint here on top and parsley. I'm a fan. And it took them like two, not even two minutes to put it together. Maybe one minute. Yes. It was like a minute. And also, we didn't need to use any of our own silverware because they had reusable plates and forks. Yeah. We're not using napkins. We're just going to use our shirts. I'm just kidding. I mean, really. Jasmine's taste test. What do you think? This is really good. Like, honestly, for fast food, it's fresh. It's good. It's flavorful. And it's not a burger, you know? You can get some veggies on your plate. Hell yeah. I highly recommend. There they are. The veggie doughnuts. How many do you want? One or two? I think just one. Are you going to get two? Absolutely. At least. It's only 75 cents. Yas. I got mine plain. All right. So, that happened so fast. We were ordering and then the guy was already starting to prepare it. So, unfortunately, we weren't able to ask them to put it in our containers. But I also think that our container was a little too short for the dogs. So, we're going to have to ask them to put it in our containers. So, I'll show you what it looks like. This is the veggie dog all done up. I don't want to drop anything. This light is not great. So, this is the veggie dog all done up. I'm making a mess here. It has mustard, some sort of slaw, and then I think crispy onions? Yeah, crispy onions. I'm more of a plain gal here. Whenever we used to get hot dogs, we used to just get ketchup. So, I got me a plain one. I'm going to go put ketchup on it and then we'll do a taste test for you guys. And Chris is actually outside taking photos. So, he's coming back now. And then we'll eat. All right. So, we got our veggie dogs. I got mine loaded up the way they normally have it. So, it's the veggie dog. I think they make the dog. I don't know if they make it in-house, but it's an Ikea made dog. And then it has mustard, onions, and like a slaw. What's cool is on their menu, on their featured items, it says it contains milk, contains soy, contains wheat, whatever. That's actually really good. Oh, wow. So, we got four dogs for $3. It's actually really good. That's what I was going to say. It looks... Here, let's get a close-up shot of this dog. So, it looks very veggie heavy and I thought it was going to taste kind of like a veggie burger, but it tastes like a hot dog. How do they do that? That's really good. That really threw me off. I like this. It's good. Is it beets? No, right? That's some good stuff right there. We got in trouble for filming earlier, so I hope we don't get in trouble right now. You're welcome. The vegan hot dogs are less expensive than... The meat. The meat ones. I think I said that earlier, but... So, lunch was a success. They weren't able to put our hot dogs in our reusable containers. I pulled them. Oh, okay. So, we produced a little waste, but at least these are recyclable. Oh, yeah. They're not like a... Yeah, there's no like waxy coating. That's good. That's good to know. It's just paper. Oh, I'm sorry. I messed that one up. Currently filming on my phone. We are in the process of editing the video. Make sure we look at the camera. I always forget it's right there. And it has been brought to our attention that the IKEA buns are actually... Or they can vary from location to location and can actually not be vegan. Right. So, we shouldn't... We just assumed because we read online vegan hot dogs. Like, the dog itself is all vegan. So, we're just like, oh, they have vegan hot dogs. And the majority of the time in general, hot dog buns are vegan. Right. But it was a mistake on our part for not calling IKEA. So, we're actually going to call them right now just to confirm. We got to get to the bottom of this. Yeah. So, we're going to confirm the Portland location. But like I said before, keep in mind, the formulas vary from location to location based on sourcing. So, I think it's safe to call and find out. Here we go. Thank you for calling IKEA. If you have a question or concern related to your order placed in our Manhattan studio... Thank you for choosing IKEA customer support center. My name is Princess. How may I assist you today? Hi. How's it going? I just had a quick question regarding the ingredients in the veggie dogs that you use for your restaurants. Okay. I was just curious what the ingredients were and if they had dairy and eggs in them. In the buns specifically. The buns? We heard that it might vary from location to location. So, I just wanted to confirm. And then, the specific location I'd be asking about is the Portland, Oregon location. I'll definitely look into this for you. Just one moment. Sure. Hello? Hi. Yeah. Thank you so much for your patience. I was able to get a hold of the ingredient list and I can go ahead and read it. But, I just wanted to first let you know that there are no dairies and no eggs. There isn't any of those. Oh, wow. Okay. No dairy, no eggs. Great. Alright. And I've already gotten a couple of calls about this today when I went to look into it. Oh, really? So, I guess. Yeah. Uh-huh. I guess people would want to know. Yeah, maybe put it on the website. I really appreciate you going to look for that for us. You too. Thank you. Alright, so that was a really long wait, but we're good to go. Yeah, we're in the clear. But, I would suggest that you call IKEA and find out exactly if the location you're going to has vegan buns. This was a long process, but it's definitely worth it so that we will know for sure. And, she said they did receive a few calls today about this specific issue. You can actually probably ask when you're at IKEA too. They definitely have the ingredient list on hand. But, if you're going to IKEA to eat it specifically, then I would just call before you go. Yeah. Otherwise, you can always get the vegan meatballs if, let's say, you're at a location that doesn't have vegan buns, the meatballs are in the clear. You can probably just get the hot dog, the actual veggie dog too. That's true. Or bring your own buns. B-Y-O-B. Whoa. They checked out here, thankfully. Yeah. But, yeah. Cool. Okay. Back to the video. Whoa. We are going to our third location. I really like filming these videos. They're a lot of fun. It gets us out of the house and we get to eat a lot of fun food. Here's Chris. Heya. So, for the third stop of the day, we... Sorry, this is really awkward to hold. For the third stop of the day, we are going to... Del Taco. So, as some of you may know, here in the U.S., there's a place called Del Taco and... It's actually mostly on the West Coast. I didn't have it in New Jersey. Oh. And, the only time I've ever had it, it was vegan. It was vegan? But, now they have Beyond Meat. Oh, yeah. When we were with my parents. Yep. We had it, but we just had beans. So, yeah. They have Beyond Meat now in their tacos. They don't have vegan cheese, but, you know, I'm not complaining because they have a vegan option and Del Tacos are pretty widespread here on the West Coast of the U.S. So, I'm not sure actually where it is. I'm from the West Coast and that's the only place I've ever lived. So, anyways. Yeah. They have vegan tacos now with the vegan meat. Oh, look at this dog. Aww. And, we're going to go try it. We both haven't had this yet. So, I'm excited. I'm really excited. I cannot wait. This is my childhood. I'm going to get tacos and fries. That's what I always used to do. So, here we go. I'm probably going to get four tacos, two burritos. What? We'll see. I don't know. Oh, my gosh. I think you can also add Beyond Meat. Like, you can sub meat for any... You can sub Beyond Meat for any meat in, like, any of the tacos. I'm pretty sure. Oh, that's cool. Don't quote me on that, but I think so. We'll ask. Let's do it. As usual, we have our containers and utensils and all that. The only thing that I know is that for Del Taco, just based on my past experiences there, everything is already wrapped. I think that they make a bunch in the back in the assembly line. So, I don't know exactly how this is going to go or if we can reduce waste completely, but we're going to ask. We are Del Taco. Right there. The future of tacos here. Beyond Taco. That's so cool. Oh, so this is a non-vegan one with the cheese, and then right next to it, they have the vegan one with avocado. That's cool. Can I do two of the Beyond Avocado tacos? You want that in a meal or the tacos by themselves? Just by themselves. And then I'll do the fries, too. So, I'll do the combo burrito without the cheese and the meat. Okay. And just the red sauce and the beans? Yeah. I'll do two Beyond Avocado, one soft and crunchy. And actually, for the fries, can we make that a medium? Do you want to just share? Yeah. Okay, let's do that. Pre-meal ritual here. Gotta get the IG pics. Show you guys the process behind the scenes. There's a wild consciousness. I know. Wild consciousness spotted. We are spying on him from behind this chair. I do have a really terrible Australian accent, by the way. Seems to be taking photos of his food. This is a cool shot. Look at that lens flare. Damn. So, they were able to give us the tacos just in that wrap. And they were saying after they wrap it in that, they wrap it again. So, we skipped one of the wrappers, which is good. And then we just got it on the trays. We were just here because we were taking photos. But these are the hard tacos. The soft ones are over there. Got the burrito, the fries. And now, Chris is going to give us a taste test. Go to that annoying car. That car is so loud. It's damn good. Really? Mm-hmm. I really like it. How did they season the meat? Does it have seasoning on it? Yeah. Yeah? I couldn't tell it to be on meat. Wow. If it's just meat, I would think it was meat. Interesting. I'm going to try it. I'm going to try the hard guy first. Try the hard one. BYOC. Oh, BYOC. So, we brought it. Cheese just to make it like... That's fair. The actual... It's really good, right? Really good. They did like... This tastes just like Del Taco. Like, I remember when I was a kid. I used to go to Del Taco a lot because, you know, it's like right by Amanda's house. Mm-hmm. So, we used to walk there and get food all the time. Classic. Oh. With the cheese. It's so good. I wanted to show you, when we were driving by... No, no. Of course, it's a red light. So, let's wait. The big sign in front of Del Taco is advertising Beyond Meat. So, that's cool. Yay. Oh, my God. We thought we would bring in a fourth component into this video. I think in all the videos, we've only done three places. I think so. So, today, we're going to change it up. We're going to get a fourth. We thought... Fourth meal. We're going back to Taco Bell. Just kidding. Maybe we could try and find vegan dessert at a fast food chain or at a chain restaurant. That's not a restaurant. Is that a fast food chain? What would you consider it? It's a fast food dessert eatery. There you go. Chain dessert place. That is pretty much all over the place, or I assume it's all over the place, especially in the U.S. Actually, I don't know if it's outside of the U.S. I'm rambling. Anyways, we're going to get ice cream. I'll show you where we're going. And I've never tried this before, but I'm intrigued. I haven't either. All the bad... Hi, can we just get a single scoop of the daiquiri ice? Yeah, sure. Is there any way you could put it in here? In a different container? Yeah. Thank you. So, we were able to... Oh, it's really windy. I don't know if it'll be fucked up. So, we were able to bring our own container. The girl gladly put the scoop in the container, which is cool. They even complimented how cute it was. Cute it was. And we brought our own spoons. That was awesome. So, this is the daiquiri ice. So, I guess they have one seasonal dairy-free flavor at a time. Oh, is that what they said? I'm scared. That's what I'm assuming. It's not bad. I usually don't like fruity stuff. I'm more of a chocolate, peanut butter. I would never get this if there was another option. But it's not terrible. It tastes like an Icy. Yeah. It literally tastes like an Icy. In, like, ice cream sorbet form. I don't think it's bad. They had an horchata. But, I mean, that was what I saw online. But that's not what they had today. Not bad. Would I get it again? Probably not. No, I don't think so. Was there a pink thing in there? Yeah, there was, like, pink in it. I don't know if that's from it or what. I hope. That's scary. But, I don't know. If you ever go to Baskin Robbins with your friends or family, just know that they have a dairy-free option. Yes. It's all the time. She said there was another, but then she said... Never mind. Yeah. I don't know. Whatever. I mean, I'm glad we did that. We got a fourth option in this video. And zero waste on this guy. Yeah. Yeah, I think we're going to call it. This was a fun video. This is actually my favorite kind of video to film. Like I was saying earlier. It gets us out of the house, try different things, change our scenery. We went to Ikea. It was good. That was fun. Yeah, we had a good time. I love Ikea. So, thanks for watching. Again, this is number three. If you haven't seen our first two vegan fast food videos, we'll link them down below. There'll be a playlist. We do our best to try different vegan options as they are released. I know a lot of people say, oh, that's not healthy, oh, I would never go there, this and that. That's not the point. We just want to show how accessible veganism is for everybody. No matter where you are, it's going to be a fast food place most likely. And chances are you'll be able to eat there if you don't want to eat animal products. So, that's the point of these videos. That's the point of vegan options at these places. We're not trying to be healthy. We're just trying to show that veganism is accessible and you can do it too if you want. Yeah. So, if you guys have any recommendations for other spots you want us to hit up in the next video, let us know in the comments below. If you have anything else you want to add, just let us know in the comments below. We love to hear what you guys think of these. Absolutely. Give us a thumbs up. Subscribe if you haven't. Hit that bell if you want notifications for future videos. I'm Chris. She's Jasmine. We're accessible vegan. And we love you guys. Thank you guys for watching and I think that's it. See you soon. Bye.
