Another year, another birthday, another delicious vegan meal. Here’s a rundown of free vegan birthday food I got this year.
My new b-day favorite is Pressed Juicery freeze which is their cold-pressed juice frozen to a consistency like soft serve. I got half Citrus (orange, apple, pineapple, coconut meat and dates) and half Fruit (fuji apple, strawberry, coconut meat, dates), no toppings. Sign up for their loyalty program in-store and get a free juice or freeze for your birthday.
A very close second is Pizza Studio, a choose your own crust, sauce and unlimited toppings on a thin-crust pizza place. I went with the rosemary herb crust with tomato sauce, mushrooms, garlic, artichoke hearts, olives, roasted broccoli, zucchini and potatoes, caramelized onion and vegan cheese. Enroll in the Pizza Studio Rewards Program to get your free pizza during the week of your birthday.
There’s still only one vegan option at Sprinkles, the vegan red velvet cupcake. On the plus side, they’ve changed their birthday club so you’re not required to only get your free birthday cupcake on your actual birthday. Now you have a week after receiving the birthday email.
There’s also been a change with the Veggie Grill birthday reward as well, instead of a free entree, you now have to purchase an entree to get a free birthday entree. I got the fried crab cake sandwich which I’ve previously tried. To balance it out, I also got the Banh Mi Salad – organic pressed and glazed tofu, char-grilled eggplant, house-pickled carrots, white cabbage, fresh jalapenos, basil, cilantro, mint, marinated kale and lightly tossed in a 5-spice glaze. It’s savory and sweet, very flavorful and fresh tasting. I did have to cut the tofu into smaller pieces to make for easier eating. Sign up for VG rewards to get the birthday coupon, it’s good for 14 days from when the email is sent.
Starbucks doesn’t have much in way of vegan food, there’s the multi-grain and plain bagel and the Hearty Veggie & Brown Rice Salad Bowl, which I tried several times to get but each time, the store was out of that item. I ended up getting a Peach Green Tea Lemonade. Register a Starbucks card to get a birthday reward of food or drink.
Once again, I didn’t make it to any of these places:
Jamba Juice, free smoothie or juice
Red Robin, free birthday burger
Rubio’s, free meal up to $7
Johnny Rockets, free hamburger with a purchase of any entree and drink
Noodles & Company, free birthday bowl
All in all, some great birthday freebies to celebrate another year of being older, wiser and vegan. Be sure to sign up at least 30 days before your birthday to get the reward in time. Wherever you are, whenever your birthday, wishing you an awesome year.

That’s the sort of line up that would make me want to have more than one birthday every year! I’m not a pizza lover and that pizza still looks divine.
I hope you had a great birthday, it looks like it was filled with amazing food!
So many awesome vegan birthday freebies out there, and your post comes at such a good time, too! My own birthday is coming up in under two weeks now (!?) so the only trouble will be getting out to all these goodies in time. I’m so close, yet still so far…
Hope you had a very happy birthday!
Oh my gosh, this is the most fun Birthday idea, I love it so much! I don’t have any of these places (other than Starbucks) where I live, but I bet there are other places with bday specials. So much fun. Plus, I am a total sucker for free stuff. Happy Birthday and thanks for some excellent inspiration!
I can’t believe you got all of this for free, that’s so awesome!
Happy Birthday! I’d say you did very well for yourself. I’m signed up for Veggie Grill rewards but I don’t remember getting a birthday reward — I’d better get on it for next year. The Banh Mi salad is currently my favorite VG dish, but I like to bring it home and warm it up. It tastes even better when the salad is lightly cooked. (Usually in the microwave.)
Wow! Looks like you got some great treats!
For anyone reading note that Stabucks changed their birthday reward so it expires in just 3 days…. Which sucks since i went to redeem mine on day five and they wouldn’t honor it :/
