Kevin shares with Brian that the owner of The Comic Book Store is vegan, and all the snacks in the store are also vegan. After a fun chat about vegan food, the boys play some Super Fight to close out the evening.

Where to Find Convenient Vegan Food

Pretty much any convenience store will have something, you just need to know what's up with the labels. For example Ritz Crackers and Sour Patch Kids are vegan. Don't know if it's a conscious effort on the manufacturer's part, but either way those are vegan safe. Pretty handy to know in a pinch when you're on the road or something.

As for preparing food, salads are a pretty easy lunch. They don't require you to cook anything if you go vegan. You can make a batch of chickpeas ahead of time, or just use drained canned beans. This is a handy way to make sure you have something plant-based at least one meal a day.

A classic vegan option includes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. A favorite for a kid in their packed lunch, this youthful sammy is actually vegan. Also many convenience stores and coffee shops will sell PB&Js. Always be on the lookout for something like this when in a pinch, because it could be a hearty vegan snack.
