Wholly Veggie launches its new set of 'Veggie-Full Meals' -- the latest series offers meal solutions for those who are craving a [plant-based meal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-serve-plant-based-entrees) or side option. Every serving is packed with protein and requires no preparation for convenience. All of the meals have [20 grams of protein](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-gym-kitchen-frozen-meal) and take account of 50% of the daily fiber requirements as well.

Co-founder, John Bonnell states, “The [frozen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-giant-products) meal was popularized in the 1950s with a promise of offering a complete meal without having to spend too much time cooking. Sadly, frozen meals haven’t changed muchsince then, offering little when it comes to health and nutrition [...] We sought out to reinvent the category, focusing on quality ingredients, plant-based protein, and a meal that truly is complete.” There are three delicious flavors including Sweet and Spicy Chickpea, Southwest Broccoli, and Coconut Cauliflower.
