Take the guesswork out of your edible decor. Give these vegan sprinkles a shake!

Did you know that not all sprinkles are vegan-friendly? Believe us when we say we were shook, too! The non-vegan ingredient offenders in your traditional sprinkles may include beeswax, carmine, castoreum, cochineal, confectioner’s glaze, and shellac. While this may not be true for all sprinkle brands, it’s always worth scanning that ingredient list. But while we’re on the topic of lists, we’ve got a good one for you. In the name of plant-based research, check out the seven best brands for vegan sprinkles.

Color Kitchen

Not only are the Rainbow Sprinkles and Nonpareil Sprinkles from Color Kitchen vegan, but they are free from artificial colors. This natural brand seriously has some of the best vegan sprinkles on the market! BRB, we’re whipping up decked-out sugar cookies. In addition, Color Kitchen sells other vegan baking ingredients like frosting colors and icing mixes. Find this better-for-you brand at select health food stores and Whole Foods Markets.

she/her

During her studies to become a registered dietitian, Anja—a longtime vegetarian—transitioned to a vegan diet. Living in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the time (Go Broncos!), 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, practicing as a pediatric clinical dietitian, and virtually coaching fellow plant-based eaters, you can find her creating veg-centric recipes, trying new cruelty-free products, and spending time with her partner Addison and cat Kovu.
