Natural foods company Chickapea has announced the launch of +Greens, a new organic pasta line offering 24g of plant-based protein per serving.
Available in penne, spaghetti and spirals, the new ‘veggie-packed’, gluten-free offering is made with only chickpeas, lentils, kale and spinach, according to Chickapea.
Each serving of +Greens is said to provide 11g of fibre and more than two servings of vegetables. In addition, Chickapea says that the new offering is a source of iron, as well as vitamins K and B6.
“As a busy parent, I'm constantly crunched for time. That's why +Greens provides a one-pot solution with its high protein, vegetable and nutrient make-up,” said Shelby Taylor, founder and CEO of Chickapea.
“+Greens is incredibly versatile. You can easily replace animal-based proteins with Chickapea – it's delicious tossed in a salad, soup or curry, or enjoyed in your favourite pasta dishes. It's a high-quality, shelf-stable protein with clean, plant-based, organic ingredients.”
Starting this month, Chickapea's +Greens line will roll out to stores nationwide in the US, including Mom’s Organic Markets and many independent grocers.
The products will also be available for purchase online, via Amazon and the brand’s website.
