23 Foods We Had No Idea Were Vegan

Oreos

Oreos

We never said that vegan meant healthy! Turns out the “creme” in Oreos is not made out of cream at all. What gives the Oreos their creamy texture are the different oils and sugars they use to make it tasty. 

Now, if you are a hard core vegan, you might want to steer clear of Oreos because they are processed in a facility that also has dairy products. So, they are not the purest vegan cookies you can find, but they are definitely vegan!

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

Pillsbury Crescent Rolls

Yep! What you think is butter on these rolls isn’t actually butter; it's a mix of oils and salt that creates its buttery flavor and flaky layers. 

There are so many fun vegan recipes you could use with these!

Unfrosted Pop Tarts

Unfrosted Pop Tarts

The frosting of Pop Tarts does contain some dairy.

The pudding mix does call for cow’s milk, but substituting it for your favorite milk alternative will give you the same creamy Jell-O Pudding that is completely vegan!

No animal products here! Wheat Thins, just like a lot of other traditional store bought crackers, are vegan.

Cracker Jacks

Cracker Jacks

Original Cracker Jacks are vegan because they don’t use any animal products in their caramel recipe. Be careful around other brands of caramel corn, though, because this is not an industry standard. 

Always read the labels and ingredients lists!

Birthday parties are no longer a problem as long as you’re in charge of making the cake. The cake mix doesn’t have any animal products in it, and the only add-in you need is sparkling water (or any other kind of fizzy drink if you are feeling adventurous). 

Don’t add in an egg or milk substitute, or even the oil. Just the fizz!
