I am a total sucker for copycat restaurant and fast food recipes. Is it easier to just go to Starbucks and order that frappe? Yes! But is it way more satisfying to make it at home? Also yes!
Or, at least, to me it is. And when you make it at home, you can adjust the ingredients to fit your tastes and dietary preferences. Take these vegan fast food remakes–they swap out the meat and dairy without sacrificing any of the flavor.
For those of us who have trouble choosing between soft and hard shell tacos, there’s this Taco Bell remake from one of our favorite vegan bloggers.
