Plant-based eater and Subway fan? You’re in luck. The sub sandwich franchise now offers a plant-based “meatball” marinara sub for those who want to indulge in the classic comfort food while respecting animals and the planet.
After thousands signed the WeLoveSubway campaign for more meatless menu options, Subway partnered with Beyond Meat to offer a new vegetarian meatball sandwich, which can be made fully vegan by omitting the cheese.
But how does it taste? Compassion Over Killing‘s Senior Director of Campaigns & Outreach Laura Cascada reported that the “Beyond Meatball” Marinara sub passed her taste test with flying colors.
“This sub is literally going to save lives as more and more people choose it over traditional meatballs,” Cascada said. “And the good thing is, there’s really no difference in taste.”
The sub sandwich will be available for a limited time at participating restaurants beginning September 5 in the U.S. and September 9 in Canada.
Several fast food chains are joining the movement by offering alternative meat dishes. The plant-based options have become so in-demand, they often sell out.
Burger King’s “Impossible Whopper” was received so well, the company plans to roll it out to every location nationwide. Del Taco, Carl’s Jr., and other chains have followed suit by adding menu items with meatless proteins, too.
Thanks to companies like Subway, it’s easier than ever to maintain an animal- and planet-friendly diet and still satisfy those favorite food cravings.
What’s New…
I am so excited for this to be released nationwide. Burger King’s Impossible Whopper is delicious. I want all vegans and vegetarians to be able to make good healthy choices when they have meals outside of their homes. This is awesome. Thank you Subway.
Thanks Subway!
Well done, hope for a large sale.
As a vegan I’m over the moon that these fast food companies are finally hearing our requests for meat alternatives. I’ve had an Impossible burger and OMGOODNESS it’s delicious. I’ll be working on the other ff restaurants to see their plant based menu.
Please go and try them all, we need to keep these plant based foods coming! Every one bought saves a life!
Happy Eating 😀😀😀
More important is what’s in it? Is it just plant based protein like soy or quinoa, or does it contain chemicals to make it taste like meat? If it’s full of chemicals, it is just as bad, health-wise as meat. We need to consider both the animals and human health.
Yaaa for Subway. Thank you!
This is good news!
It was tested up here last month and apparently passed with flying “marinara” Still love going to A&W Canada and getting their Beyond Meat burger, and breakfast sandwich…although Tim Horton’s Beyond Meat breakfast sandwich is right up there.
