Veggie Corn Dogs

This Corn Dog from MorningStar Farms is a Vegetarian Option

— November 20, 2014 — Lifestyle
If someone were to hand you one of MorningStar Farms' Veggie Corn Dogs, you probably wouldn't have any idea that it's a vegetarian-friendly option. Because it contains egg and milk ingredients, it isn't quite vegan, but even if you don't stick to a plant-powered diet, this corn dog contains about 75% less fat than other popular beef corn dog varieties, which is a much healthier option for meat eaters.

Instead of a meat-based hot dog, this snack features a veggie dog that's been wrapped in a coating of cornmeal. Per serving, the veggie corn dog only contains 150 calories and 0.5 grams of trans fat and is enriched with B1 and B2 vitamins to make sure that vegetarians can indulge in a great food on a stick while still being mindful of their health.

1. Vegetarian Fast Food - MorningStar Farms' Veggie Corn Dogs represent a trend of offering vegetarian alternatives to classic fast food items.
