The new Beyond Meat A&W chicken nuggets are available at over 1,000 locations throughout Canada, but only for a limited time. Apparently, the temporarily updated menu has been launched to test whether the two companies would like to further expand their already existing partnership, which is currently focused on the A&W Beyond Meat burger.
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, these vegan chicken nuggets are intended to mimic the real thing. This is why they also pack a serious protein punch; one six-pack of these plant-based nuggets contains 18 grams of protein.
The new A&W vegan chicken nuggets represent the first major partnership to adopt Beyond Meat's relatively new line of meat-free chicken – a space the company predicts will skyrocket in popularity in the years to come.
