Convenient Protein-Packed Meals

Born Simple's Better Bowls Have Real Ingredients You Can Pronounce

Born Simple is redefining convenience with the debut of its new 'Better Bowls line' -- premium boxed meals packed with 20 grams of protein per serving and made with simple, real ingredients. Created to meet growing demand for protein-rich yet clean-label options, the meals feature sustainably packaged ingredients like high-quality chicken, vegetables, and rice, ready in just 60 seconds.

The line includes four elevated flavors -- 'Chipotle Chicken Bowl,' 'Ultimate Mac + Cheese,' 'Thai Style Chicken Bowl,' and 'Teriyaki Chicken Bowl' -- and is now available at Walmart, Amazon, and regional retailers nationwide. Each meal is sealed in recyclable Tetra Pak® cartons, using a preservative-free, heat-treated process for freshness and convenience.

By launching Better Bowls, Born Simple bridges a growing gap in the fast-meal market: clean, high-protein foods that don’t sacrifice flavor or transparency.
