kencko, the B-corp brand dedicated to food-on-the-go, has launched three new flavors of its instant meals. The new flavors include Pasta Primavera, Classic Tomato Soup, and Garden Lentil Salad.
With just a few drops of hot water, the chef-crafted bowls are ready in minutes, using the same freeze-dried method beloved for its ease, nutrition, and shelf stability. These meals provide 4 of the 5 daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables, so they can be enjoyed at home or on the go.
Available only on kencko.com and starting at $4.99 per bowl for subscribers, a subscription contains an assorted box of 16 bowls. Subscriptions are flexible, allowing for pause or cancellation at any time, even after one box, and your first box comes with a free insulated bowl and spork. Plus, each box of 16 kencko bowls saves around 3.5 pounds of food waste.
