Ready for some tasty news? IKEA Food is testing a Veggie hot dog in the IKEA Malmö store in Sweden! If you're around, try it and tell us what you think of it. Adding a Veggie hot dog to the IKEA Bistro range is part of our ambitions to include more plant-based ingredients in our food offer. The final version of the Veggie hot dog will be available at IKEA stores in Europe from August 2018. #veggiehotdog #ikeafood

100% plant-based, 100% delicious. Today we are sharing our ambitions to introduce plant-based ice cream to the IKEA Bistro. The development has started and we aim to bring this alternative to dairy-based soft ice to IKEA Bistros in Summer 2019. #ikeafood #ikeatoday #plantbased

While we’ll still have to wait until summer 2019 for the vegan soft serve, the new veggie dog is now officially available in IKEA stores across the U.S! ?

Head straight to the café, grab a tray, fill up on the new veggie dog and all the wonderful vegan options available:

Entrées

Organic Pasta with Marinara Sauce and no cheese (Add the Veggie Balls for extra protein!)

Veggie Balls with Tomato-Spinach Ragout, Ancient Grains and Tri Color Vegetable Blend (green beans, yellow and orange carrots)

Seasonal Salad (currently Harvest Salad) made to order without cheese (Add the Veggie Balls for extra protein!)

Soups and Sides

French Fries

Fruit Cup

Moroccan Lentil Soup with Harissa

Rye and Multigrain Crispbreads

Side Salad with Newman’s Own Balsamic Vinaigrette or Newman’s Own Light Italian Dressing

And don’t forget to take home these vegan snacks in the grocery section:

In addition to drinks, cereal, candy, chips, and other snacks, the famous home furnishings store also carries a variety of vegan breads, jellies, and other condiments (as if we needed another excuse to go to IKEA). Simply skim the labels and avoid anything that contains milk, eggs, honey, or other animal-based ingredients.
