MorningStar Farms expands heat-and-serve veggie bowl line
MorningStar Farms has added five new flavor combinations to its line of 100 percent vegetarian heat-and-eat veggie bowls.
The new bowls join more than 30 other MorningStar Farms products, such as meatless burgers, breakfast sandwiches, and Meal Starters. In fact, it’s been shown that a veggie-based meal tends to be lower in cholesterol and saturated fats than their meat-based counterpart, according to research from Quantis and MorningStar Farms. Beyond personal health, eating more veggie meals in place of meat-based meals is also good for the planet, with a range of environmental benefits, such as helping reductions in water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and land usage, according to an article published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
“We know that more and more people are looking for convenient and nutritious meal options, including tasty alternatives to meat,” said Todd Smith, director of brand and innovation marketing at MorningStar Farms.
Each bowl features a variety of vegetables and vegetarian alternatives to chicken and steak. The full collection of new bowl flavors include:
- MorningStar Farms Japanese Soba Noodles: A blend of soba noodles, veggie steak strips, edamame and bamboo shoots in a soy ginger garlic sauce
- MorningStar Farms Moroccan Medley: A blend of peppers, sweet potatoes, green beans and Chik’n Strips over couscous in Harissa sauce
- MorningStar Farms Chik’n Tikka Masala: A blend of veggies, veggie Chik’n Strips and spices, with a tomato curry sauce and a side of naan
- MorningStar Farms Italian Sausage Bake: A combination of spinach, zucchini, Veggie Sausage Crumbles and cheese layered with béchamel and tomato basil sauces
- MorningStar Farms Chik’n Pot Pie: A spin on the classic pot pie with Veggie Chik’n Strips and a wine and herb sauce topped with a biscuit crust
These five new flavors join the existing award-winning line-up of MorningStar Farms veggie bowls, which was first introduced in spring 2016 and includes flavor combinations such as Tuscan Greens & Beans, Spicy Black Bean Enchilada, Thai Yellow Curry, and Mushroom & Asparagus Orzo.
