- - Why Can't Pop-Tarts be Vegetarian!!!
(https://www.veggieboards.com/forum/21-general-food-discussions/134949-why-cant-pop-tarts-vegetarian.html)
It is so frustrating. Pop-tarts were my favorite treat as a kid. I was so disappointed to learn that they contained gelatin once I became a vegetarian. Why can't Kelloggs use another gelling agent like agar or pectin?

I never knew that. When you switch to veg* you find out so much stuff you cant eat.
If you or someone you live with likes to cook here are some recipes I found (not my recipes, just a random google search) http://heydayfashionblog.blogspot.co...rts-vegan.html http://dairyfreecooking.about.com/od...rts_Recipe.htm http://vegansaurus.com/post/297366184/recipe-pop-tarts |
That's too bad. I don't eat pop tarts, but I thought they didn't contain animal products for some reason.
|
I think the unfrosted Cinnamon and maybe Apple are veg*n, but that's it, also no fun since they don't have icing.
 |
Just get the unfrosted kind. I never liked the frosting anyways. It's like this dry plaster that has no flavor.
|
Pop tarts just look so bad for you haha... I loved them when I was little. Although, i was never allowed to have them. I ate them at friends places hehe
|
Certain unfrosted flavors are vegetarian. Also Amy's are vegan too and much better for you.http://www.amyskitchen.com/products/...eakfast/000184

I may be mistaken, but I believe Nature's Path Organic Toaster Pastries are vegetarian (although not vegan). Anyone know for sure? I'm not a toaster pastry eater, so I can't vouch for the taste.
|
The gelatin is in the frosting, not the filling. The unfrosted ones are vegan.

I'm not a toaster pastry eater, so I can't vouch for the taste. yes they are veggie and I have tried the blueberry and strawberry ones and honestly I wasnt impressed at all....not enough filling and a gross taste to me anyways. peace, love & nirvana  |
I've never eaten a pop tart, but if it's the icing that has gelatine, you could always buy the plain ones and ice your own. That way you can lick the bowl too

I'm pretty sure the unfrosted ones are suitable for vegetarians. The strawberry ones are ok tasting, chocolate fudge on the other hand..
