Vegan Options at Dairy Queen (Updated 2024)

The vegan options at Dairy Queen might be better than you think. That’s never been more true than now.

In April of 2020, Dairy Queen announced that they would be launching vegan ice cream bars. These Non-Dairy Dilly Bars feature a coconut cream base and chocolate-flavored coating, and they are delicious!

As for an actual meal, you could put together a side salad with fries and/or pretzels sticks (with NO queso).

Here are all of your vegan options:

Our Picks

Ryan’s Pick: The Dilly bars are excellent!! We used to get the ice cream bars that came on a stick when I was growing up all the time. This reminds me exactly of those.

Also, the pretzel sticks are really, really good. I tried them out when we went recently to try out the Dilly Bars and they far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend giving those a try.

Jen’s Pick: If I’m in the mood for chocolate then I’ll 100% go with a Dilly Bar. But, I also really like the Starkiss frozen treat.
