Veggieful Pocket Pies blend together cheese, vegetables

There’s a new, cheesy way to get a daily serving of vegetables. 

Del Monte Foods is introducing its new Veggieful Pocket Pies, which not only contains vegetables and cheese but also features a variety of plant-based proteins.

Created to be heated and taken on the go, each Veggieful Pocket Pie is baked in a cauliflower crust, contains one full serving of vegetables, and is made without the use of artificial flavors or preservatives, the Walnut Creek, Calif.-based company said.

“We’ve all been faced with a number of setbacks during the pandemic, but for many of us, we are busier than ever,” said Liam Farrell, vice president of brand marketing for Del Monte Foods said. “Del Monte understands the dilemmas people face daily and empathizes with the new challenges we're experiencing. Creating a balanced diet through food which packs in delicious nutrients to fuel the day should be easy. New Veggieful Pocket Pies take the stress out of making healthful food choices by providing a tasty, easy-to-prepare veggie-packed option.”

Available in four flavors — spinach artichoke parmesan, broccoli potato cheddar, plant-based Philly cheesesteak, and rosemary garlic plant-based chicken — Del Monte Foods’ latest launch is available where the brand’s products are currently sold.
