Just as there are many heat-and-eat frozen meals for omnivores, there's a new line of all-in-one meatless meals from Gardein. These 'Skillet Meals for 2' combine vegetables and a hearty base with the brand's own imitation meat products. The four product types that are being introduced later this year include globally inspired dishes like: Asian Chick'n Fried Rice, Chick'n Florentino Pasta, Italian Rigatoni and Chick'n Fiesta.
This new collection of products is one of the most highly anticipated items to come out of this year's Natural Products Expo West. Now that plant-based eating is on the rise, consumers may be able to expect more convenient frozen meal kits like these that make their dietary choices a little easier to manage.
