Lightlife Shakes Up The Deli Category With New Veggie Deli Slices
The leader in plant protein innovation launches culinary slices made with real, nutrient-packed vegetables
TURNERS FALLS, Mass., Aug. 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightlife is reinventing a classic lunchtime staple with a plant protein twist, introducing its brand new line of veggie deli slices. Lightlife's veggie deli slices are made from consumers' favorite plant proteins, pack 11 grams of plant protein per serving and come in two delicious flavors – White Bean & Kale and Chickpea & Red Pepper. The veggie deli slices are the latest innovation in the brand's refrigerated product line, joining some of Lightlife's top-selling favorites like Smart Dogs, Smart Ground and Tempeh.
With the majority of Americans (65%) believing that plant protein can be just as hearty and satisfying as animal protein*, the new veggie deli slices are the perfect sandwich swap in a healthy wrap, as a salad topper or even as a snack. As a premium extension to Lightlife's deli line, which includes veggie turkey, pepperoni, ham and bologna slices, the new veggie deli slices are Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Vegan and free of cholesterol and trans fats.
"We've taken familiar foods and flavors, like hummus and kale, to create something fun, delicious and unexpected in an effort to bring new consumers into the booming plant protein category" said Brad Lahrman, Vice President of Marketing at Lightlife. "With back-to-school season right around the corner, the veggie deli slices provide vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians with more variety when it comes to amping up their lunch routine."
Lightlife's new veggie deli slices retail between $3.29-3.59 and are currently available at Whole Foods Markets nationwide, and will be available at other retailers in the coming weeks.
