Plant-powered humans, with a diet that completely excludes meat, dairy, and other animal-derived products are Vegans. A gigantic part of the new age. This practice dates back to 1944 and, has recently gained a swell of popularity. There is also increasing awareness about animal cruelty and exploitation. Veganism has tons of health benefits, it eliminates risks associated with harmful animal fats, reduces cancer risk, and type two diabetes. It promotes better heart health and helps in weight loss. There is a Vegan substitute for every animal by-product and it contains all the necessary nutrients. For instance, dairy alternatives like soya drinks, almond milk, yogurt, and more.

Must have in Pasadena: cowLess

About 3% (growing) of the US population is currently vegan. If you are amongst them and a resident of Pasadena, California, you should definitely check out Cowless. One of the best Vegan burger joints in the area. cowLess is the brainchild of Kiran Raina, who is a Vegan enthusiast. As he saw the plant-based burger sales rocket in the US experimented with his vegan burger lab, which today is called cowLess.

There are a plethora of vegan fast food joints available throughout Pasadena. However, standing out amongst them is cowLess. Made with their signature house spread, lettuce, red onions, Vegan Cheddar Cheese, pickles, and tomato is the Beyond meat burger($11).

For double the taste, double the ‘Beyond Meat’ patty($14). To side with these pretty burgers are french fries($4) and tater tots($4).

For all the French fries fans out there, try Asada fries. Crumbled Asada patty, vegan cheddar cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo over french fries or tater tots.

If you plan on eating green and light, give Roasted cauliflower($9) a shot. Enveloped in coconut milk, onions, bell pepper, and house pesto sauce. One of our recommended dishes would be the Brussel sprouts($9). Now, who would have thought this dish would become super yum.

A food trend people might never get over is the classic Cookies and Cream shake($8.50)!
