Lizzo has been making a splash on TikTok lately, and it's not for her incredible music or even her killer outfits. It's because of her insanely easy-to-make vegan recipes. Although the "Truth Hurts" singer is relatively new to the lifestyle, Lizzo embraced it with considerable flair, sharing her favorites (like a particular vegan chicken sandwich recipe) with fans.

The much-hyped recipe is based on the infamous chicken sandwich from McDonald's. Lizzo shares her recipe alongside several other great plant-based meal alternatives using all vegan ingredients. What's more, she's not the only celebrity to do it!

Meet Lizzo's vegan chicken sandwich recipe based on the spicy McChicken Lizzo did a lot while sheltering in place in 2020. She attended the virtual BET Awards, and she went viral for her chicken sandwich recipe.BET2020/Getty Images for BET NETWORKS

Former "nerd" Lizzo garnered her fan base as a singer/rapper. But there's no doubting her talent in the kitchen. Chances are, the Vegan Queen would've blown up as a Vegan TikTok star had she not already blown up the music industry. 

The star paired her dish with some delicious-looking sweet potatoes in the oven. Lizzo captioned her TikTok video, "Vegan spicy Mcchicken idgaf that s— was hittin."

The ingredients needed are simple:

  • Veggie nuggets
  • Vegan mayonnaise 
  • RedHot seasoning 
  • Garlic seasoning 
  • Iceberg lettuce 
  • Toasted bun
  • As promised, it tastes eerily similar to the classic McDonald's favorite. The famous fast-food chicken sandwich traditionally consists of a crispy boneless chicken patty, shredded lettuce, mayo, and a soft bun. 

    Other vegan recipes the singer introduced on TikTok

    By checking out Lizzo's TikTok, fans will have access to many great vegan recipes to try. Hilarious videos of Lizzo trying out new trends and being unashamedly authentic also populate her channel. 

    But on the recipe beat, the singer pre-approved the 'Nature's Cereal' trend. She also introduced recipes like the Brussels Sprout Vegan Nachos, Collard Green Vegan Turkey Wraps, and Cheezy 'Chicken' Arugula Vegan Pizza.

    Then, there's the viral Feta Pasta she hacked and made vegan. Since feta is the main ingredient, vegans felt left out from the popular trend. Then Lizzo came in and used chickpea-based pasta as the base (great protein) and swapped out the feta for creamy vegan goat cheese (still gooey). 

    Finally, we can't go without mentioning her favorite hangover meal. Before committing to a vegan diet entirely, Lizzo revealed in a TikTok that she craved cheesy eggs. 

    In the same TikTok, the "Rumors" singer introduced her plant-based alternative. The meal included corn, black beans, vegan Carne Masada, egg substitute, spinach, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and vegan pepper jack cheese — topped off with a side of vegan bacon. 

    Other celebrity vegans and their most popular recipe

    Lizzo isn't the first celebrity to take on a vegan diet. And she certainly won't be the last. A vegan diet can be healthy and a great way to support animal rights when done correctly. 

    It can also be challenging for some people because of the limitations on nutritious food options. Fortunately, some celebs, like Billie Eilish, Natalie Portman, and Kourtney Kardashian, are all too happy to share their favorite vegan recipes. However, Lizzo stands out with her options. Offering vegan alternatives to fast food dishes is a surefire way to win yourself a reputation as a vegan influencer.

    Vegans might not eat chicken, but—surprise!—some of us still love the taste of chicken seasonings. It doesn't matter whether it's nostalgic chicken noodle soup, perfectly-crispy tenders, or chicken and veggie skewers… it's all delicious and easy to make plant-based. And with a new seasoning blend from Trader Joe's, you can get that beloved chicken flavor in a few quick shakes.

    Trader Joe's Vegan Chicken-Less Seasoning Salt is essentially a super-affordable vegan chicken bouillon, minus the animal products. While there are similar products on the market—my go-to being the highly-rated Orrington Farms Chicken Flavored Broth Base & Seasoning ($6)—this one is a fraction of the cost at just $2 a bottle. It also has a short ingredients list (sea salt, onion powder, spices, turmeric, and garlic powder) and contains 320 grams of sodium per 1/4 tsp serving.

    "This seasoning is a fun way to get those flavors we associate with chicken, even in vegetarian and vegan recipes. If you're planning on adding this to your meals, I do have a few words of caution. Because of the sodium, go light. It's the same thing I would tell you to do with the salt shaker," says Amy Gorin, RDN, owner of Amy Gorin Nutrition in the New York City area. "With that being said, I like that the blend includes other spices with proven benefits, including inflammation-helping turmeric. I'd suggest adding a dash of black pepper along with this in order to get the max benefits from the turmeric, as these two spices work best in synergy."

    So, what does this vegan chicken bouillon taste like, you ask? Exactly like the non-vegan kind. Since chicken itself tastes really bland, it's the spices that give it the flavor everyone knows and loves. And, IMO, this one really nails it. I saw one person describe it as tasting like the chicken-flavored seasoning packet that comes with ramen, and that's pretty spot-on. All it took was a quick sprinkle to my tofu before I popped it in the air fryer to make it come out as crispy, meat-free chicken nuggets.

    It's safe to say this multi-use seasoning will find space on my spice shelf right between my Trader Joe's umami mushroom seasoning blend and "Everything But the Bagel" seasoning.
