Impossible

The Homestyle Impossible Meatballs are all the rage. Sporting 12g of protein per serving, they’ve got what it takes to contribute to a satisfying vegan meal. Craving juicy meatball sliders? Give Impossible a try! As one of our favorite vegan meatball brands, Impossible prides itself on using fewer resources than traditional beef products—that’s less water, land, and greenhouse gases.

Jack & Annie's

The Classic Jack Meatballs from Jack & Annie’s are your new freezer staple. These jackfruit-based meatballs are perfectly seasoned and pack a chewy, meaty texture. Each serving contains 8g of plant-based protein and 6g of fiber. We love these plant-based meatballs in spaghetti, on pizzas, and packed into saucy sub sandwiches—the options are endless!

Gardein

The always-vegan brand Gardein is a freezer-aisle favorite. And the Plant-Based Meatballs hold up the cruelty-free brand’s reputation! While they taste great in a variety of creative preparations, we love to serve ours over roasted spaghetti squash with plant-based marinara, torn basil, and vegan parmesan cheese. Vegan meatball brands FTW!

The Beyond Meat Italian-Style Plant-Based Meatballs are made with pea and rice proteins, along with other plant-derived ingredients. They taste great in both traditional and nontraditional preparations. Take a (virtual) page from the Beyond recipe book and give Beyond Meatball Gyros a go!

Trader Joe's

As if we needed another reason to run to Trader Joe’s, but here we are. The frozen Meatless Meatballs from this American grocer are a must-try. Best when cooked in marinara, BBQ, or curry simmer sauces, these plant-based meatballs are delicious and versatile. Grab a package on your next trip to your local vegan-friendly Trader Joe’s.

During her studies to become a registered dietitian nutritionist, Anja—a longtime vegetarian—transitioned to a vegan diet. Living in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the time, she met Maggie and Tammie through VegOut Kalamazoo (one of VegOut’s first focus cities) and began collaborating with the duo. When she’s not writing about new vegan eats, you can find her whipping up veg-centric meals, traveling, and practicing yoga.
