Starting in August, people who love to cook from home across the U.S. can explore seasonal recipes from ingredient-and-recipe meal kit service, Blue Apron, that features plant-based proteins from Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND).

Blue Apron & Beyond Meat recipes will be included on Blue Apron’s Signature Two-Serving Plan starting next month, with flavorful summer burgers specially crafted by the Blue Apron Culinary Team that features the popular Beyond Burger. Consumers can begin placing orders for the new recipes now through Blue Apron’s website and mobile app.

“We know a growing number of customers are interested in plant-based proteins, whether as an alternative to meat, a desire to explore a new ingredient, or an opportunity to make more sustainable food choices,” Linda Kozlowski, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Apron, said in a statement. “We are proud to introduce Beyond Meat products to our menu, beginning with its flagship Beyond Burger. Blue Apron recipes are designed to evoke a sense of discovery, and as a meal kit partner, we have a unique opportunity to teach our customers how to cook a wide variety of cuisines with plant-based protein.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with Blue Apron to empower consumers to prepare and enjoy delicious Beyond Burgers at home,” said Ethan Brown, Beyond Meat Founder and CEO. “The Beyond Burger delivers the delicious taste, texture, and juiciness of a beef burger but comes with the added nutritional and environmental benefits of consuming plant-based meat.”

The first Blue Apron & Beyond Meat recipes will feature Beyond Meat’s new, meatier Beyond Burger, a four ounce patty with 20 grams of plant-based protein that contains no GMOs, soy, or gluten. Recipes include Caramelized Onion and Cheddar Beyond Burgers with Garlic Green Beans the week of August 19th and Jalapeño and Goat Cheese Beyond Burgers with Corn on the Cob the week of August 26th.

“We love delighting our customers with distinct flavor combinations and new ingredients to make home cooking memorable and fun,” said John Adler, Vice President of Blue Apron. “Our first two Blue Apron & Beyond Meat recipes were inspired by our most popular burgers, using the Beyond Burger, as well as seasonings, sauces, and produce that puts an interesting twist on this classic summer meal. We look forward to bringing home cooks more recipe creations that feature Beyond Meat’s innovative and delicious products.”

Blue Apron will continue to feature Beyond Meat products on future menus as part of its commitment to bring home cooks a diverse selection of ingredients, flavors, and cuisines.
