The 100 Best Vegan Products of All Time

From the early days of soy milk and Tofurky at the local co-op to today’s quick trips to the corner store for oat milk and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, vegan products at grocery stores across the country have never been better. But which are the coconut cream of the crop? VegNews editors pulled upon their decades of knowledge to share the 100 most iconic, most essential, most game-changing, most unique, and most delicious vegan products of all time.

BEYOND MEAT

Beyond Burger

1 It’s the burger that changed the world. The Beyond Burger made headlines for being the first “bleeding” vegan patty before appearing at national chains like Carl’s Jr., TGI Friday’s, and Denny's. Now, it’s sold alongside animal-based meat in grocery stores around the country. Its popularity boosted Beyond Meat to become the first vegan company to join the stock market, where it smashed records and created a global media frenzy. For ushering in a new era where vegan food has become fully and completely mainstream, the Be yond Burger is, without a doubt, the best vegan product of all time

Add in flavors like Chipotle, Garlic Aioli, and Sriracha and you’ve got one of the best vegan products of all time.

OATLY

4 This wildly popular Swedish import started an oat milk revolution stateside in 2016 (and made national headlines during the Great NYC Oat Milk Shortage of 2018), and for good reason—it’s super-smooth, has a low carbon footprint, and makes a mean mocha.

IMPOSSIBLE FOODS

Impossible Burger

Impossible Foods isn’t concerned with just making the best plant-based burger—it’s on a mission to remove animals from the food chain and completely revolutionize the way we eat. A tall order,
