Vegan Items at Costco (Epic List By Category)

Aside from the obvious single ingredient fresh produce, what other items at Costco are vegan?

Here is a list sorted by category.

Important note: while we think our list is pretty epic, it would be challenging to list every item at Costco that is vegan. So this list is not complete!
Also, some items may not be available at all Costco stores, or, ingredients may have changed. Check the ingredients list..

Fresh Produce

Single item produce, like a bag lettuce or fruit-such as the grapes pictured above, should be vegan.

So alot of stuff in the section are vegan products.

Still, you can always check, and you want to do a double take on the already prepped items.

For example, vegetable trays might include a creamy dressing with dairy, some salad kits might contain meat, etc.

Vegan Options for Dessert

  A dessert option that everyone in the family likes!

Sure there have been a few flops in the vegan frozen dessert category, but even some non vegans in my family think Cado’s is pretty sweet and creamy!

While I wouldn’t necessarily call it a “health food” as a Dietitian, I appreciate that the first ingredient is avocado puree (how cool is that?). Also, the saturated fat content is lower than a lot of other ice creams I have seen (Cado’s Deep Dark Chocolate flavor has 2 grams of saturated fat per serving).

Costco Vegan Products I Buy as a Dietitian Who is Plant Based!

As dietitian who eats plant based, I love Costco!

Costco has so many great bulk deals that I take advantage of as a vegan who consumes lots of produce, healthy grains, legumes, nuts and seeds!

Here’s a quick summary of the things that I buy frequently:

• Kirkland Signature Organic Quinoa
• Organic Tofu
• Canned Organic black beans and garbanzo beans
• Frozen Veggies: Kirkland Signature’s stir fry blend, and mixed veggies and broccoli are some of my favorites!
• Frozen fruit: Cherries, and Kirkland Signature berries, etc.
• Fresh Produce: (ex: apples, pears, carrots)
• Nuts
• Harvest Snap Baked Peas Snacks (*affiliate link)
• Nature’s Path Love Crunch Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Granola (*affiliate link)

Kirkland Signature Organic Quinoa

I love cooking this till it’s nice and fluffy! It has less of a bitter taste than some other quinoa’s that I’ve tried.

Quinoa is carbohydrate rich whole food plant based product that adds protein and has a decent distribution of all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein(1)! In it self, it’s also gluten free if that is important to you!

Organic Tofu

Tofu provides important nutrients, such as plant based protein, choline, and calcium (more when calcium when fortified -check the nutrition facts). These are three dietary components may be a bit more tricky to stay on top of on a vegan diet if you aren’t paying attention to nutrition!

I enjoy using tofu in a variety of dishes. From tofu scramble, to stir-fries and no egg tofu salad sandwiches. In my experience, Costco also usually has a great deal on tofu-so I make sure I grab some just about every trip I make there!

S & W Black Beans and Garbanzo Beans

I use some form of legume just about everyday, and the organic S&W ones have non BPA can lining! Legumes add protein, fiber, carbohydrates, and nutrients like plant based iron!

I love to eat them as is or mixed with quinoa, on salads, in black bean brownies etc.

Whole Food Fruit and Veggies ( + Frozen Ones Too!)

Costco often has great deals if you want to stock up on whole and frozen fruits and veggies! I buy some of both.

Because i eat so much as a vegan, it really is a great deal for me! I know that other stores also have great deals on these items, so it’s good to compare.

Nuts

Nuts are vegan fats that are very healthy! They provide antioxidants, and some research suggests they may be associated with lowering bad cholesterol (2).

I like to have a stash of different nuts on hand, cashews, hazel nuts, pecans, walnuts, etc!

I use them in many ways- including as snacks, to top my oatmeal, and to pair with chocolate for a treat!

Harvest Snaps Baked Green Pea Lightly Salted Snacks

I personally prefer these to chips! I’m also quite impressed by the amount of fiber and plant based protein they have.

I won’t say much more about these because I actually wrote a whole review of them!

Nature’s Path Love Crunch Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter Granola

I love to sprinkle this in with another vegan cereal, like toasted O’s! It is really decadent and the peanut butter flavor is there, but not super intense.

My daughter and husband are also fans!
