Alpha Foods offers a variety of convenience-focused plant-based foods and it is now expanding its offerings with a series of plant-based handheld pot pies. These all-vegan pot pies are launching in flavors like Beefy Cheddar, Chik'n Veggie, Pizza, and Buffalo Chik'n—with the products made using non-dairy cheese and meatless substitutes.
The frozen convenience foods boast flaky crusts and shapes that are more round than conventionally dish-like. The handheld pot pies boast 10 to 12 grams of protein and require only about two minutes to prepare.
While there are plenty of vegetarian-friendly frozen foods that can now be found in the aisles of stores, this new option aims to satisfy both vegans and non-vegans alike. The new line from Alpha Foods is set to make its debut through retailers like Walmart, Kroger and select Wegmans locations as of the summer of this year.
