Nestlé Brand Sweet Earth Foods Debuts New Plant-Based Breakfast Bowls and Reformulated Deli Slices Nationwide; Seema Sundar Discusses

Breakfast is oftentimes an overlooked meal as consumers hurry out the door to begin their day, especially as they transition back to working and learning in person. To bring more attention to the sector and drive more traffic to stores, Nestlé’s Sweet Earth Foods is launching nationwide its latest heat-and-eat Breakfast Bowls alongside its reformulated, ready-to-eat Deli Slices.

“With the likely return to busy, on-the-go lifestyles this fall, we anticipate there will be more demand than ever before for convenient plant-based meals and ingredients that don’t sacrifice flavor,” said Seema Sundar, Director of Marketing at Sweet Earth Foods. “The new additions of the Breakfast Bowls to our product portfolio and the reformulated Deli Slices, along with our recently launched ready-to-eat, flavor-forward Mindful Chik’n^™ options, offer something for everyone and every occasion this fall.”

The plant-based foods innovator brings these savory prepared meals and plant-based protein offerings to the market in order to provide the necessary nutrition consumers are looking for in their on-the-go busy lifestyles. According to the release, the three new Sweet Earth^® Breakfast Bowls are inspired by classic savory regional scrambles, all while offering between 17–20 grams of plant protein and three to five grams of fiber in every bowl. New flavors found in the frozen meals section include:

• Sweet Earth^® Protein Lover’s Breakfast Bowl: Plant-based meaty scramble filled with cage-free eggs, plant-based sausage and bacon, spinach, and cheddar cheese
• Sweet Earth Southwest Veggie Breakfast Bowl: Southwest scramble with cage-free eggs, poblano peppers, black beans, cilantro lime brown rice, and Monterey jack cheese
• Sweet Earth Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Bowl: Mexican-inspired flavors with cage-free eggs, plant-based chipotle seitan, cotija cheese, sweet potatoes, peppers, and tortilla strips

To bring the plant-based attention to the deli section, Sweet Earth is also offering three newly reformulated types of Sweet Earth Deli Slices, each containing 15 grams of plant protein and delivering an authentic deli experience that makes for a perfectly satisfying sandwich swap. All three products have zero grams of cholesterol and come in:

• Sweet Earth Plant-Based Turkey Slices: Oven-roasted flavors with rosemary and sea salt
• Sweet Earth Plant-Based Ham Slices: Smoky applewood flavor colored with natural ingredients like red radish
• Sweet Earth Plant-Based Pepperoni Slices: Blend of spices and wholesome ingredients including textured pea protein

With a suggested retail price of $4.79 for the Breakfast Bowls and $6.99 for the plant-based Deli Slices, the products can be found at retailers nationwide including Whole Foods Market, Fresh Thyme Market, Walmart, Kroger stores, and Target. A special four-pack of the Huevos Rancheros Breakfast Bowl is offered exclusively at Sam’s Club, retailing for $11.98.
