Best Vegan Fast Food Options

Verdict: The Rolled & Steel-Cut Oatmeal at Starbucks tops the list as the best vegan fast food order — Nom Score 98/100, 160 calories, 5g protein. Protein is the catch: the most on the whole list is the Five Guys Style Fries (Regular) at 15g, so a plant-based drive-thru meal usually means stacking two items.
