MorningStar Farms Created a Nourishing Plant-Based 'Cheezeburger'

— March 4, 2019 — Lifestyle
Vegan cheeseburgers are becoming easier to find and order at various restaurants that are now committing to offering a wider variety of plant-based options and MorningStar Farms is now introducing a convenient option for at-home enjoyment. The all-new MorningStar Farms Cheezeburger takes the form of a meat-like patty that's packed with cheddar-style cheese for a product that can easily be grilled and enjoyed for a texture-rich eating experience.

The dairy-free, meat-free patty is packed with plant-based protein—23 grams per serving—and is set to be launched at Expo West this month. By the year 2021, all MorningStar Farms products will be 100% plant-based, with about half of the brand's products already reflecting this commitment to the health of people and the planet.
