Plant-based ultra-processed foods high in salt, added sugars, and fats should be limited and eaten in moderation. In particular, veggie meat replacement products are often high in sodium and saturated fats, so be sure to choose low-sodium and low-fat alternatives.

When entrepreneur Edwin Streep became vegan a while ago, he noticed a lack of vegan options in town. Starting Vegan Junk Food Bar his aim was to create food that people know and love, but based on plants!

Some junk food that is vegan: plain popcorn, potato chips, tortilla chips, dark chocolate, salted nuts, (most) crackers, french fries, (most) soda, some fruit flavored candy (skittles, smarties, sour patch kids). In addition, there are brand specific vegan junk foods, like dairy free ice cream, pizza, and cookies.

To transition away from vegan junk and towards healing whole food plant-based eating you can: go cold tofurkey, explore new recipes and make WFPB versions of old favorites, find your why (and remind yourself daily), load up on fiber, stop restricting calories.
