Plant-based Fast Food

Greenbox was born from two best friends, Ross and Tom, on a search for accessible plant-based food. Their current menu consists of vegan mac and cheese, wraps, burgers, loaded chips and nachos, and more. Ross and Tom believe in sustainability, and love to educate their customers on plant-based alternatives. Here’s one of their favourite recipes: Vegan Fish & Chips.
