# Full-Flavor Meatless Alternatives Garden Inspirations Appeals to Vegetarians & Flexitarians Alike By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-04-15 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatless-alternatives References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/inspiring-a-better-plate-farm-rich-introduces-plant-based-garden-inspirations-line-301040313.html) & [farmrich](https://farmrich.com/) [Garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-gourmet) Inspirations by [Farm Rich](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farm-rich-meatball) is a new line of meatless alternatives for flexitarians, vegetarians and anyone in between who is looking to reduce their meat consumption. The meatless line includes a mix of appetizers, snacks and meal solutions that deliver plant-based protein from simple ingredients. While the Garden Inspirations Meatless Meatballs share 12 grams of plant-based protein per serving from a combination of soy and pea proteins, plus other nourishing ingredients, the Plant-Based BBQ Sliders are inspired by pork shreds and are portioned so that they're easily enjoyed for quick meals and on-the-go snacks. With these products, consumers are supported in making simple swaps in their diet. Soon, the Garden Inspirations line will be expanded to include Breaded Cauliflower Bites and Breaded Zucchini Sticks.
