What Is the Jimmy John’s Veggie Sandwich?

The Jimmy John’s Veggie Sandwich (often called the Veggie) is a vegetarian sub made with provolone cheese, avocado spread, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and mayo on fresh-baked bread. Prices usually range from $7.49 to $10.99, depending on size and location. It is filling but higher in calories due to cheese and mayo.

The Veggie Sandwich is Jimmy John’s main vegetarian sub option. It is designed for customers who do not eat meat but still want a satisfying, flavorful sandwich.

It focuses on:

• Fresh vegetables
  
• Creamy avocado spread
  
• Provolone cheese
  
• Soft, fresh-baked bread

Unlike many fast-food veggie sandwiches, this one is not dry or bland.

• The Crunch: Fresh-sliced Cucumbers, crisp Lettuce, and vine-ripened Tomatoes.
• The Cream: Hellmann’s® Real Mayo.

The 2026 Vegan “Power” Hack

While the #6 is vegetarian by default, it is easily our best vegan option with two simple removals:

• The Order: Ask for a #6 Veggie, No Cheese, No Mayo.
• The Add-On: Add Oil & Vinegar and Extra Oregano-Basil.
• The Result: A 100% vegan sub on our French bread (which is vegan-certified) that stays creamy thanks to the avocado spread.

Customization: The “BLAHS” Trend (2026)

One of the most viral hacks of early 2026 is the “BLAHS” sandwich. If you aren’t strictly vegetarian but love the Veggie base, here is how you order it:

• Bacon
• Lettuce
• Avocado (from the #6)
• Hot Peppers (Jimmy Peppers®)
• Salami
• To order: Start with a #6, add Bacon and Salami. It’s the ultimate savory-spicy hybrid.
