The Good & Gather Plant-Based Italian-Style Meatless Meatballs from Target are a major vibe!

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.

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!
OZO

Slow Cooker Grape Jelly Meatballs and Red Curry Meatball Lettuce Wraps are just two of the creative recipes these vegan-friendly meat products were made for—we’re drooling already.

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.

Pure Farmland
Available in two flavors, Homestyle and Italian Style with Dairy-Free Parmesan Alternative, the Pure Farmland Plant-Based Meatballs are always a hit.

They’re always a crowd-pleaser.
