Loved the part about the sauces! It’s awesome to see fast-food chains offering more vegan options. Makes grabbing a quick bite so much easier 🙂
Yeah but are they really healthy tho? feels like just another way to make money
I get where you’re coming from, SamT, but I reckon it’s still a step in the right direction for plant-based eats. Plus, taste matters too!
Does anyone know if the vegan options are also suitable for kids? Trying to introduce my little ones to more plant-based meals.
Didn’t even know Subway had an app. Defo gonna download it and check out those vegan options. Cheers for the heads up!
