Nutrition Rundown

Meals are freshly frozen after creation, meaning nutrient quality is retained while preserving the goodness and flavour without chemical additives.  

Standout vegetarian meal options include:

• Vegetable Lasagne with Pesto – 22g protein
• Roasted Potato with Toasted Corn Salad with Salsa Verde -12g protein
• Eggplant Parmigiana with Quinoa – 11g protein

Vegetarian meals can be an excellent choice for those motivated by ethical considerations, as well as for those seeking benefits such as weight loss, heart health, and improved digestive health. A well-balanced vegetarian diet can contribute to lower calorie intake for weight loss, reduced risk of heart disease, and enhanced digestive function due to its higher fibre content. Additionally, vegetable-rich diets are often rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants which support overall well-being.

It’s important for vegetarians to ensure a balanced intake of protein, fats, and carbohydrates to meet all nutritional needs and maintain optimal health.
