Across the UAE and Kuwait, Starbucks recently launched two new Beyond Meat sandwiches, helping to meet the growing demand for plant-based options. These new meatless menu items were developed with Beyond Meat to suit local taste preferences.
The Beyond Meatball Arabian Ciabatta takes the form of a soft sandwich with plant-based Beyond Beef with fresh labneh and baby spinach, while the Beyond Meat Triple Cheese Wrap offers a different take on the same plant-based protein alternative with three kinds of cheese (red cheddar, mozzarella and feta), bell peppers and marinara sauce in a tortilla wrap. The meatless menu options follow the launch of the Beyond Meat Breakfast Sandwich at Starbucks stores in the UK.
