Whether you’re a seasoned, plant-based pro or just beginning your journey, Sprouts has everything you need to fill your plate with plant-powered goodness. We’re proud to offer a variety of innovative products to excite your tastebuds like portabella mushroom jerky and coconut milk ice cream, plus all your vegan classics like marinated tofu or Sprouts Vegan Protein Powder. With thousands of vegetarian, vegan and plant-based items available to discover down each aisle, you’re bound to dig up something unique every time you shop.
Plant-based is more than a buzzword and has gained traction with many health-conscious individuals over the years. The popular movement is more than a diet and encourages folks to reach for more plants with fresh produce, whole grains, legumes and nuts to help fuel your day ahead! A plant-based diet packs a nutrient-dense punch and provides you with essential vitamins, minerals, loads of fiber and plant-based protein.
Good for you and the planet!
The idea behind a plant-based, vegan and vegetarian diet is to reduce or eliminate the number of animal products that are consumed in your day-to-day meals. When your plate is full of healthy, nutrient-dense foods, not only will it help you feel your best, but you can contribute to a healthier environment too. Studies have shown that a plant-based diet can contribute to lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce land occupation while minimizing soil, air and water pollution.
How to get started
Don’t quit all your favorite foods cold tofurky!
Making a switch in your diet can be done in small, easy steps to ensure you stick to your new plan. Try these simple swaps in your everyday meals:
Use marinated tofu or meat alternative in your meals.
Swap your morning coffee creamer with a nut-based creamer.
Try a plant-based yogurt or a protein bar as an afternoon snack.
Load up on produce
Filling your plate with a variety of fresh produce like fruit, vegetables and potatoes, will help keep you fuller, longer. With the increase in nutrient-dense, fibrous foods, you won’t want to reach for those highly palatable snacks that may deter you from your new plant-based or vegan diet. Pro tip: Vegetables like portabella mushrooms and eggplants have a similar texture to meat when cooked and can act as the main component of your dish.
Simplify your grocery hauls
Planning a complete diet overhaul in one swoop could be very overwhelming! Start to slowly replace the items in your pantry and refrigerator with each trip, not all at once. When you shop at Sprouts, we make it simple to navigate the aisles and easily spot which items are plant-based with convenient shelf tags. Plus, we’re always on the hunt for the newest, most innovative plant-based and vegan products, so you don’t have to be!
Diggin’ on a plant-based diet? We’ve put together a convenient shopping list with some of our most nutritious faves to help make your next grocery trip a breeze!

Share article Great Vegetables for Grillin’ in Summer on:
The high heat and smoky flavors of a grill can work wonders on certain vegetables, including some that would surprise you. The trick is in the timing. And, like everything, a little bit of preparation goes a long way.
Grilling Corn on the Cob
Fresh corn grills beautifully, especially when the heat caramelizes the kernels instead of steaming them. Take a peek a few different methods for grilling corn:
Keep the husks on and place them directly on the grill
Husk and wrap them in aluminum foil with butter and honey
Soak them in water prior to placing directly on the grill
Husk them fully, coat them lightly in oil or butter, and place them directly on the grill. Just make sure you turn them frequently!
Grilling Asparagus
Asparagus is a favorite and so easy! Just Snap off the bottom end, marinate in olive oil, and add a little salt and/or lemon zest. Tasty tip: cook for 4 minutes on the grill, turning once, and they’re done.
More Great Vegetables for Grilling
Yams and Sweet Potatoes
Cut them into 3/8-inch slices, skewer and place on the grill for about 10 minutes. Tasty tip: don’t worry about how dark they get on the outside, you can always peel off the outer layer with a fork. You want to make sure they are thoroughly cooked so you don’t end up with a hard, raw core.
Red Peppers
Stem and seed them, then cut into julienne strips. Marinate these in oil and then place on a very hot grill using a grilling basket or skewers and let the skin blacken just a bit.
Eggplant
Cut the eggplant crosswise into slices that are at least 1/2-inch thick; marinate with your favorite oil; then grill for about 12 minutes per side. Tasty tip: Eggplant is high in water content, make sure you leave enough skin and flesh on it.
Radicchio
Slice it into length-wise quarters, apply the usual oil/salt marinade, and grill for about 5 minutes per side. Tasty tip: the slight charring along with the purplish-red color of the leaves looks gorgeous.
Summer Grilling Tips: Don’t Let it Slip Through the Cracks
Nothing is worse than watching an expertly grilled onion browned on the edges and perfectly caramelized fall through the grill and land in a pile of ash. There are three or four good methods for keeping your veggies above the flames instead of in them.
Buy a hinged grilling basket. You can find them in just about any kitchen accessory store, and there are plenty online as well. One real advantage to these baskets is that they are not being used to cook meat, so they tend to stay much cleaner than your regular grill top.
Set wire cooling racks perpendicular to the direction of your regular grill surface. By “cross-hatching” these, you reduce the hole space and can keep those veggies from taking a dive. Be sure to spray or oil your racks before using them, and to clean them off promptly when done.
Wooden skewers are cheap and can be protected from the heat by soaking them before use. Metal skewers also work great, but conduct the heat and handle with tongs or oven mitts. Of course, getting the vegetables to stay on the skewers is no easy task. Skewers work well with peppers, mushrooms, small potatoes (like Yukon golds), zucchini or summer squash, and some onions. Don’t use skewers with cherry tomatoes or asparagus. It won’t end well.
