14 Vegan Brands That Are Revolutionizing Food

January 16, 2023 By Guest Author Mohan Raj (swagswami.com) and Edit by Dishan Mendis Leave a Comment

Vegan Plant-based Brands

Ahoy there fellow vegans! 

We know that veganism is not just another fad, but a philosophy and a way of living that have been in existence for many years grounded on ethics and we believe it is the future. 

It’s apparent that the wider world has started to recognize this undeniable fact. Furthermore, the notion that veganism is a sacrifice that animal lovers make is also fast losing credibility. 

It is becoming increasingly clear with research into climate change and global warming that veganism is one of the most sustainable choices moving forward.

When you see traditional dairy-based brands like Baskin Robbins start rolling out vegan options, you know for sure that veganism has gone mainstream.

In addition, we are also seeing a significant amount of venture capital investments into vegan brands that are emerging across the United States and the world. 

Let us now dive into this neat list of great plant-based vegan brands that are revolutionizing food as we know it.

Vegan Meat Brands


Livestock (except birds) account for 62% of the mammal biomass on planet Earth. Add another 34% of the human population and you only have a meager 4% of wild mammals [1]. 

To give you another perspective, each year approximately 80 billion land animals are slaughtered [2]. These staggering statistics drive home the scale of the global meat and dairy industry. The sad fact is that these billions of farm animals are raised solely for the purpose of slaughter. 

Thankfully the following vegan meat brands are making significant dents into this inhumane industry.

Beyond Meat

Beyond Meat’s line of meat-free plant-based sausages, ground beef and even steak have been a massive hit over the last few years. 

Beyond Meat

Their bloody Beyond Burger gained massive praise and they’ve followed it up with an even more awesome vegan product through their Beyond Steak line. Do follow their Instagram page for regular updates about their amazing new products!

MorningStar Farms

MorningStar Farms from Kellogg’s was originally vegetarian but thanks to the efforts of PETA, MorningStar Farms has successfully converted all their products to be 100% vegan!

MorningStar Farms

Their line of bacon and sausages are certain things to excite any vegan. The bacon strips are easy to cook and make for a wonderfully traditional American breakfast!

Tofurky

Tofurky

Thanksgiving dinners are often a vegan’s nightmare because tradition dictates that a poor turkey be slaughtered for our celebration. However, thanks to Tofurky’s 100% vegan turkey alternative, we can celebrate the holidays without harming any of these innocent birds. Isn’t that the best way to celebrate Thanksgiving?

BOCA

Non-dairy vegan milk brands continue to develop flavourful & economical products each day, appealing to the masses while increasing its market share.

Let us now take a look at a few wonderful vegan plant-based milk brands.
