GoMacro Bars
Maggie Ortlieb, Founder & CEO
When she needs a quick breakfast or some tasty plant-based fuel between meals, Maggie always has GoMacro Bars on deck. While Maggie’s favorite flavor is Double Chocolate + Peanut Butter Chips, these protein bars also come in Mint Chocolate Chip, Banana + Almond Butter, Blueberry + Cashew Butter, and several other flavors.
Banza Pasta
Tammie Ortlieb, Managing Editor
It’s pasta night at Tammie’s! But when quick and nutritious meals are the name of the game, Tammie is opting for Banza Pasta. Chickpea cavatappi, anyone? These fiber- and protein-packed noodles pair well with her fave vegan pasta sauces. It’s as simple as boiling a box of noodles, opening a jar of sauce, and enjoying an easy, comforting meal!
Konscious Foods Sushi Rolls
Allie Mitchell, Social Media Director & Staff Writer
When Allie needs a quick bite, she’s reaching for the Konscious Foods Sushi Rolls. This light, refreshing, and flavorful meal comes frozen, so throwing it into a lunchbox in the morning means it’s perfectly thawed by lunchtime. Find these plant-based rolls in California, Rainbow, Spicy California, and Tuna Avocado Roll varieties.
Pacific Foods Soups
Anja Grommons, Staff Writer
I love keeping Pacific Foods Soups in my pantry for an effortless and customizable meal in a snap! The creamy Garden Tomato Oat Milk Soup pairs unbelievably well with a simple vegan grilled cheese while the Carrot Ginger Oat Milk Soup is easily elevated with nourishing mix-ins. I love adding cooked tofu cubes, leftover grains, chopped veggies, and a drizzle of chili oil to these vegan soup bases.
Best Foods Vegan Mayo
Alejandra Tolley, Staff Writer
For Ale, it can’t get easier than chickpea tuna salad. First, she pulses celery, red onion, and a can of chickpeas in her food processor. Next, she mixes in some Best Foods Vegan Mayo, a spoonful of mustard, salt, and pepper to round out the dish. If you’re planning to recreate this simple meal, try it on a sandwich or tostada for a protein-rich dish!
Fillo’s Walking Tamales
Allison van Tilborgh, Staff Writer
Ok, this one is a serious VegOut staff favorite! When you think of quick meals, tamales might not come to mind, but Fillo’s Walking Tamales are here to change that. These shelf-stable packs are piping hot in 30 seconds and can be the perfect snack between meetings. Allison’s fave flavor is the Bean Salsa Habanero!
Splendid Spoon Plant-Based Meals
Victoria Mitchell, Marketing Assistant
If you ask Victoria, Splendid Spoon Plant-Based Meals are the perfect solution for lunches when her schedule gets busy.

JUST Egg Folded
Laurie Chin Sayres, Brand Partnerships Manager
Due to her busy schedule and on-the-go lifestyle, Laurie loves quick and filling meal options. And the JUST Egg Folded patties are super simple to transform into an easy meal. Laurie heats them up in the toaster and combines them with a thick slice of heirloom tomato and a tasty vegan bagel for a balanced on-the-go meal. BRB—recreating this ASAP!
Impossible Chicken Nuggets
Allison Sanders, Brand Partnerships Coordinator
The Impossible Chicken Nuggets are Allison’s latest quick meal obsession! Same, though. She loves these plant-powered bites as a protein-packed snack or as an addition to her fave meals. Allison recommends adding these chopped nuggets to salads, burritos, and beyond. She even has her entire family hooked on these tasty vegan nuggets!
