Plant-Based Protein Meatballs

A Portion of Beyond Meatballs Shares 19 Grams of Plant Protein

— September 14, 2020 — Lifestyle
Beyond Meat has captured the interests of plant-based eaters and flexitarians alike with its alternative burger patties, sausages and meatless crumbles, and it is expanding its roster with new vegan Beyond Meatballs. The plant-based meatballs are made with simple ingredients and are free from GMO ingredients, soy and gluten, and they boast significantly less saturated fat and sodium than animal-derived meatballs.

The pre-rolled and pre-seasoned vegan meatballs share the taste of authentic Italian spices and provide 19 grams of plant-based protein per serving. The meatless meatballs share sources of plant-based protein derived from ingredients like peas and brown rice, which are not only nutritious but help to deliver the taste and texture experience that consumers expect.
