It’s time to go green!
Plant-based food — what’s so good about them? For one, they don’t use real meat. Instead, they use plants as substitutes such as mushrooms, soy protein, and beans to create a taste that’s pretty similar to real meat.

Plant-Based Whopper — Burger King
The one that started it all — Burger King’s plant-based Whopper! The fast-food giant partnered with Australia’s number one plant-based company, V2Food, to create this meatless and soy-protein-filled patty. This one is not totally a green light for vegans since it uses mayonnaise and is cooked on the same broiler as their beef patties. However, it’s still a great step by Burger King.
Available for: Dine in, takeout, pickup, and delivery via GrabFood, FoodPanda, and LalaFood. Check out this link for the list of stores ready to serve your late night BK cravings.
