Protein does not have to mean meat!
Meet Plants patties are made up of plant protein including kidney beans, white beans, fava beans, chickpeas, and pea protein. These ingredients are combined with oats, nuts, and other grains to make up complete protein profiles. Not only are these sources of protein versatile and delicious – they’re good for you, other animals, and the planet.
To elaborate, essential amino acids are required to make up complete proteins. They cannot be made by the body and they are mainly found in animal proteins.
That’s why Meet Plants patties are made with a combination of legumes and grains that ensure you are getting complete proteins without having to eat animal-based products!
It’s a win for your health, the planet, and animal welfare.

Harvard Health Publishing School research highlights that numerous studies over recent years have shown that red meat (such as beef, lamb, and pork), and processed meats (like bacon and deli meats) are toxic to our health and have been linked to heart diseases, diabetes, cancer and even death.
Plant-based diets are considered a more health-conscious approach. Consuming a diet that contains more vegetables, beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, and whole grains is well associated with a lower risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and death from any cause.
