Following last year’s launch—the popular Spicy Thai Nourish Bowl featuring fresh kohlrabi noodles—Mann’s is adding Basil Pesto and Tomato Bolognese. Both new varieties are a first for Mann’s, offering warm veggie meals featuring plant-based proteins—vegan Chick’n in the pesto sauce and vegan sausage in the Bolognese.

Both of the new Fresh Veggie Pastas are low in calories and feature kohlrabi noodles that, according to the company’s press release, cook, taste, and twirl like real pasta. With the new additions to its line, Mann’s is hoping to leverage the propitious growth in plant-based products (8.1%) and tap into consumers’ desire for healthy, plant-based eating.

In addition to kohlrabi, the Basil Pesto Nourish Bowls include shredded kale, zesty sauce and grated parmesan. At only 340 calories, the Basil Pesto bowls are packed with 15 grams of plant-based protein. The Tomato Bolognese Nourish Bowls include marinara sauce, shredded carrots, and grated parmesan, and at only 260 calories, the bowls offer 14 grams of plant-based protein.
