Sweet Earth Foods Announces the Plant-Based Awesome Bacon Burger

Sweet Earth Foods, an award-winning and rapidly growing plant-based food innovator, this week announced the release of its Awesome Bacon Burger, a first-of-its-kind in the plant-based category.

The Sweet Earth Awesome Bacon Burger is a smoky plant-based burger infused with vegan bacon bits. Made of textured pea protein, this plant-based burger contains 26g of protein per serving (27 percent DV) and is non-GMO project certified. The burger will be hitting shelves of H-E-B starting this week with nationwide distribution increasing throughout the­­ coming weeks.

“We are so excited to announce the release of the Awesome Bacon Burger as the first-ever vegan bacon burger, proving eating plant-based can be just as delicious as it is nutritious,” said Vice President of Sweet Earth Foods, Jessica Vasisht. “The combination of the Awesome Burger and our award-winning Benevolent Bacon brings together two of our fan-favorite products into one delicious option that is perfect for summer grilling.”

Expanding the brand’s meat-free grilling options beyond its Awesome Burger and Mindful Chik’n, the Awesome Bacon Burger follows the announcement of two Sweet Earth Sausages – the Green Chile Chedd’r and Chik’n Apple – that are now available on retailer shelves nationwide.

To show how these new products are a super flavorful and satisfying option for flexitarians, vegans and meat eaters alike Sweet Earth is teaming up with Chase Stokes, flexitarian and star of Netflix’s summer sensation “Outer Banks,” to invite his fans and followers to a virtual cookout. Fans can check out Chase’s special event today, July 15 on his Instagram page.

The newest products follow Sweet Earth Foods’ recent launch of eight new burritos and entrée bowls in June. More information on products and resources for plant-based grilling can be found here.
