California’s Largest K-12 School Meal Vendor Adds Four Fully Vegan Lunch Options

Revolution Foods, California’s largest K-12 school meal provider, has launched its first all-vegetarian menu, featuring four plant-based vegan meal options. Students now have the choice to opt for a special vegetarian menu, eschewing all meat-based entrees. The menu includes student favorites like bean and cheese burritos, cheese pizza, and tamales with black beans, as well as new plant-based dishes such as an edamame teriyaki bowl and a pea-based meat alternative taco bowl.

In addition to the plant-based meals, Revolution Foods has added more options to keep students energized throughout the day. This includes Grill Days for a backyard BBQ feel, protein-forward hot breakfasts, seasonal fruits from local farmers, and healthy snacks like fruity crisps and roasted chickpeas. The shift towards plant-based school meals aligns with broader trends, as more students are expressing a preference for meatless meals. Revolution Foods CEO Dominic Engels is excited about adapting their menus to cater to a diverse range of student preferences, ensuring that no child goes hungry at school.
