Back in 1954, a man named Ray Kroc discovered a small burger restaurant in California, and wrote the first page of our history. From humble beginnings as a small restaurant, we're proud to have become one of the world's leading food service brands with more than 36,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries. McDonald’s has been increasing its plant-based options in response to the growing demand for animal-free meals. Here are some of the plant-based options available at McDonald’s: Burger: McPlant™: A juicy burger made with a plant-based patty, co-developed with Beyond Meat. It’s sizzled on a flat iron grill, then topped with slivered onions, tangy pickles, crisp shredded lettuce, Roma tomato slices, ketchup, mustard, mayo and a slice of melty American cheese on a toasted sesame seed bun. Sides: French fries, hash browns, apple slices, baby carrots, and Veggie Dippers. Breakfast: Fruit & Maple Oatmeal (without cream) and hash browns. Lunch and Dinner Choices: Vegan Vegetable Nuggets (Limited Locations) Beverages: Coffee and Tea, Soft Drinks, Fruit Juices and Smoothies. Please note that not all McDonald’s menus will have the same vegan options. Also, while McDonald’s has introduced the McPlant burger in some locations, it is no longer available in the United States.
