Life is sweet with these cruelty-free, vegan honey alternatives

Got honey? While not as obvious as meat, dairy, and eggs, this animal byproduct is not considered vegan. Hey, those bees work hard for the honey! Opting for maple syrup drizzles and swirls of agave nectar can often do the trick, but some foods just call for honey—bee-free honey, that is! Looking to add sweetness to warm vegan biscuits and cups of hot tea? Here are four vegan honey brands to try.

Gaffney Foods

Available in Red Clover and Elder Flower varieties, you won’t want to miss out on Gaffney Foods Nectar. There’s just so much to love here! It’s the aesthetic packaging and sweet, floral taste for us. From salad dressings to homemade desserts, Nectar works well in all your go-to recipes that call for honey.

Blenditup

The Blenditup Organic Bee-Free Vegan Honey is made from apples, cane sugar, and lemon juice—no animal byproducts to worry about here. Blenditup’s vegan honey comes in an easy-to-use squirt bottle perfect for drizzling on warm biscuits and homemade desserts. Treat yourself without the cruelty with Blenditup vegan honey. Your sweet tooth will thank you.

Start your ovens! The ChocZero Keto Honey was made for plant-based desserts and beyond! This sugar-free sweetener is rich in prebiotic fiber and a bee-free honey flavor!

During her studies to become a registered dietitian nutritionist, Anja—a longtime vegetarian—transitioned to a vegan diet. Living in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the time, she met Maggie and Tammie through VegOut Kalamazoo (one of VegOut’s first focus cities) and began collaborating with the duo. When she’s not writing about new vegan eats, you can find her whipping up veg-centric meals, traveling, and practicing yoga.
