Meal kit delivery company Marley Spoon has introduced vegan protein options to its menu as part of a partnership with Plant-Based Foods.

Dishes will include Beefless Moroccan Tagine, Creole Vegetarian Tofu Burgers, Vegetarian ‘Chorizo’ and Beans with Jasmine Rice, and Vegetarian ‘Chicken’ Burgers with Panini Rolls.

All the meat alternatives used are 100% plant-based.

Dave Malcolm, co-founder of Marley Spoon Australia, said the company wanted to offer variety within its focus on cooking and sustainability.

"The environmental and health benefits of eating vegetarian and vegan foods are undeniable, so we’re excited to be exploring this side of cooking,” he said.

2.1 million Australians (11.2% of the population) are already vegetarian or vegan, and around half the population are meat reducers, according to Malcolm.
