Marley Spoon adds vegan options to its meal kit menu

To celebrate World Vegan Day on 1 November, meal kit delivery company Marley Spoon will introduce vegan protein options to its menu.

In a partnership with Plant-Based Foods to work with its portfolio of ethical plant-based brands, Marley Spoon is launching a new menu which will include dishes such as Beefless Moroccan Tagine, Creole Vegetarian Tofu Burgers, Vegetarian ‘Chorizo’ and Beans with Jasmine Rice, and Vegetarian ‘Chicken’ Burgers with Panini Rolls. All the meat alternatives used are 100% plant-based.

Dave Malcolm, co-founder of Marley Spoon Australia, says the company wants to offer as much variety as possible: “We’re very focused on two things: cooking and sustainability. We’re bringing together new flavours, cuisines and cooking experiences for our members to try and explore, and we’re acting on our commitment to be as sustainable as possible.”

Business Insider reports that 2.1 million Australians (11.2% of the population) are vegetarian or vegan, and around half the population are meat reducers. That amounts to around one in four people actively choosing plant-based options — a 30% growth in vegetarianism since 2012.
