Plantry has released new ready meals to its collection while launching a Collaboration with One Tree Planted to plant 50,000 trees across Australia and New Zealand.

Planting trees is one of the best ways to combat the damaging effects of climate change and together with the One Tree Planted team, Plantry has hand-picked tree planting locations across Australia and New Zealand.

These locations include Threatened Species Habitat Restoration in Western Australia and Waingake Native Restoration in New Zealand.

Along with the collaboration, Plantry has also expanded its range, introducing Pad See Ew and Teriyaki to their plant-based meals selection.

Also expanded is their offering of plant-based meat alternatives, including Chicken-Style Burgers, Original Chicken-Style Strips and Lemon & Herb Chicken-Style Strips – all with a 4-Star Health Star rating.

In line with existing Plantry ready made meals, Pad See Ew and Teriyaki dishes are designed by a team of chefs to be vegan friendly, high in protein, freshly made and snap frozen, allowing consumers to enjoy the tastes they love without compromise.

The Plantry plant based meals range is available in the freezer aisle nationally.

The Plantry Chicken-Style range (RRP $7) and NEW Plantry Teriyaki and Plantry Pad See Ew meals (RRP $8) are available at Woolworths.
