SHERIDAN, WYOMING – August 4, 2025 – When the sun turns up the heat, the last thing you want is a heavy meal dragging you down. This summer, Swiss food tech brand Planted delivers the antidote with two vibrant, plant-based bowl recipes designed to refresh, energize, and satisfy — all without compromising on taste or ethics.
With seasonal ingredients, globally inspired flavors, and zero animal products, these bowls strike the perfect balance between wellness and indulgence. Whether you’re craving zesty Asian flair or a burst of Caribbean sunshine, Planted makes meatless summer eating both exciting and effortless.
Lemongrass Bowl: A Zesty Kick of Freshness
Looking for something light but packed with character? The Lemongrass Bowl starring planted.steak is a colorful escape to Southeast Asia — no passport required.
What makes it pop is the bright, homemade sauce. It blends rice vinegar, sesame oil, lemongrass, ginger, and chili into a flavor bomb that’s equal parts tangy, sweet, and spicy. It’s not just sauce — it’s the soul of the dish.
Toss in:
- Juicy, golden-browned planted.steak strips made from soy protein
- Glass noodles that soak up every bit of the sauce
- Crunchy carrots, bell peppers, sprouts, and a sprinkle of mint and coriander
The result? A visually stunning bowl that tastes as fresh as it looks. Whether you’re chasing a lighter lunch or prepping dinner for two, this bowl proves you don’t need meat for a deeply satisfying bite.
Caribbean BBQ Bowl: A Tropical Getaway in Every Bite
If summer had a flavor, this would be it. Planted’s Caribbean Pulled BBQ Bowl offers a warm-weather feast with all the joy of island cooking — no grill required.
At its heart is the smoky-sweet planted.pulled BBQ, flash-seared in a pan until tender and aromatic. But what truly elevates it is the pineapple salsa — a spicy, juicy blend of tropical fruit, onion, lime, and maple syrup that adds a mouthwatering contrast.
On your plate:
- Fragrant lime-coriander rice as the perfect base
- Bold BBQ pulled strips with just the right heat
- Homemade pineapple salsa for brightness and crunch
- Toasted sesame seeds to finish it off
It’s a bowl that’s equal parts comfort and adventure. And whether you’re serving friends or just treating yourself, it’s a sunny escape in a bowl.
