Compassionate and Caliente! 10 Vegan Hot Chips to Fire Up Your Snack Game

If all you do is “eat hot chip and lie,” you’ve come to the right place. We don’t judge—as long as you’re crunching with compassion. Whether you like a mild kick in your chip or want your snack to make you sweat, there are vegan hot chips out there for everyone.

Not all hot chips are vegan—some, like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, contain dairy stolen from sensitive cows. On dairy farms, workers tear calves from their loving, protective mothers just a day after birth. This cruel industry is ice cold—but your snack doesn’t have to be, thanks to THESE irresistible vegan hot chips!
