Memorial Day is basically the Super Bowl of cookouts. The grill is hot, the group chat is hotter, and someone always forgets the buns. But if you're planning to serve the usual burgers and dips, it's time for an upgrade — one that skips the meat sweats and dials up the clean protein. Enter: Beyond Meat.
Whether you're hosting vegans, flexitarians, health nuts, or that one cousin who only eats 'clean' but brings a pack of Slim Jims 'just in case,' Beyond Meat has something for everyone. The newly reformulated Beyond Burger and Beyond Beef are packed with 21 grams of plant protein, made with heart-healthy avocado oil, and clock in at just 2 grams of saturated fat per serving (that's 75% less than your average 80/20 ground beef). The best part? They taste like the burgers you grew up grilling: juicy, satisfying, and begging for a slather of BBQ sauce.

The Beyond Burger is a plant-based burger that delivers the juicy, beefy flavor you crave, minus the cholesterol and saturated fat. With 21 grams of complete plant protein per patty, it's crafted from a blend of peas, brown rice, red lentils, and faba beans, and now reformulated with heart-healthy avocado oil and a simplified ingredient list (bye, coconut and canola oil).
It grills and sizzles like a traditional burger, making it the perfect centerpiece for cookouts, weeknight dinners, and everything in between. Certified by the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, this is plant-based meat that's as smart as it is satisfying.

And if you're craving something lighter that still hits the protein mark, the Beyond Chinese Chicken Salad, made with their new Beyond Chicken Pieces, is fresh, flavorful, and packs 21 grams of clean, juicy plant-based protein. No GMOs. No cholesterol. No drama.
