Girl Scout Cookies Have Six Vegan Offerings in 2025 — What To Know

There's nothing quite like a Girl Scout Cookie when you're craving something sweet. The practice of selling these cookies began in 1917, just five years after the Girl Scouts was founded, per the Girl Scouts website. While selling Girl Scout Cookies has always been to finance troop activities and teach young women to develop their business acumen, it's since become a staple of life in America.

However, anyone who has been wary of Oreo cookies might wonder if Girl Scout Cookies are a truly vegan treat. Keep reading for the details on the vegan Girl Scout Cookies being offered this year and why you should enjoy your cookies with a glass of non-dairy milk.

Girl Scout Cookie season generally runs from January through April. Girl Scout Cookies are made by two distributors, ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers, each of which has different vegan offerings.

For the 2025 season, ABC Bakers' vegan Girl Scout Cookies are: Toast-Yay, Peanut Butter Patties, Thin Mints, Lemonades, Adventurefuls, and Caramel Chocolate Chip, per VegNews.

Fair warning — if you're a fan of Toast-Yays, you should stock up while you can, as USA Today reports that this flavor will be discontinued after the 2025 season. S'mores, which is not vegan, will also be disappearing after 2025.

Meanwhile, Little Brownie Bakers' only vegan cookies are Thin Mints.

Oat milk is widely regarded as one of the most sustainable milk options out there.

A landmark 2018 University of Oxford study found that any non-dairy milk is more eco-friendly than dairy milk. Cows require immense land, water, and grains; farms and slaughterhouses produce endless emissions and pollutions; and the animals utilized in the industry are exploited and abused for their milk — and later, their flesh.

When it comes to the most eco-friendly non-dairy milks, oat milk comes out towards the top, thanks to its low water footprint, minimal land use, and low emissions. A few of the other most sustainable milks out there are generally coconut milk, hemp milk, pea protein milk, and soy milk.

Even almond milk, which uses more water than any non-dairy milk, uses 50 percent of the water that dairy milk uses. Almond milk also produces the lowest emissions compared to other non-dairy milks, according to the 2018 study, and as detailed by Well+Good.
