New Vegan Items From Your Friends at Amy’s

Dear Blogger,

Did you know that Amy's now offers over 80 vegan items? Plus, there are seven new items, including breakfast bowls and pizza. Would you like to try Amy’s Black Bean Tamale Verde, Non-Dairy Cheeze Rice Crust Pizza (Single Serve), and four new Hot Cereal Bowls?

I would be delighted to send you samples! Because these new vegan items are frozen and perishable, I want to pick a date when you'll be available to receive them. Just let me know what date works for you (any day Tuesday through Friday) and we'll have them shipped.

Amy’s delicious vegan items include: pizzas, burritos, pocket sandwiches, Italian Food, Veggie Bowls, Veggie Burgers, Indian food, Mexican Food, Soups, and Chilis

Letters from happy Amy’s customers

Hello,
We REALLY like your products!
Thank you so much for them especially for your vegetarian meatloaf
dinner AND your tofu scramble with hash browns and veggies. Also, your
soups and everything are also great.  We are vegetarian already (Help
the animals, yes!) and the products that are as VEGAN (non-dairy) as
possible are the ones we have started looking for at our local store the
most. We are attempting to eliminate cheese from our diet a little at a
time. We have just started getting the soy cheese pizza now too. Thank
you for all of your work.
From, Garie

Dear Amy,
FINALLY! Thank you so much for finally making a vegan cheese pizza!
I've been waiting a decade for a vegan cheese pizza to be available at
grocery stores.  I think some cheese-craving vegans probably even gave up veganism due to their overpowering cravings.  This is something vegans have been craving and I'm sure if word gets out it will be a huge seller. 
Keep up the good work,
Paul

Dear Amy,
I love, love, love all your vegan products and recommend them to all of
my family and friends.  Keep up the great work.
From Vivian

Dear Amy,
Thank you for clearly labeling your vegan items at the beginning of the
ingredients list. Also, thank you for recognizing that honey is not
vegan. It makes grocery shopping a lot less reading intensive.
From Wes

Hi there,
I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for your delicious
foods. As a vegan it is so difficult to find quick and easy meals. My
family isn't vegan so preparing 2 meals is often in order. With Amy's
meals I can always have something healthy, delicious and filling even if
I'm in a hurry! Thanks so much.

Both are kid-tested favorites that all children will enjoy, and one is made with no dairy or gluten ingredients, for children with special dietary needs in mind.

Amy’s decided to explore the new line after receiving a letter from a mother asking if Amy’s would please make special meals for children. In response to her letter and many similar requests, Amy’s is offering “Amy’s Kids Meals,” made with special “kid appeal” in child-sized portions. Of course, the ingredients are natural and organic and no meat, fish, poultry, eggs or peanuts are used.

Recently Amy’s got a letter from a mother who asked if Amy’s would please make special meals for children. So in response to her letter many similar requests, Amy’s is offering “Amy’s Kids Meals,” made with special “kid appeal” in child-sized portions. Of course, the ingredients are natural and organic and no meat, fish, poultry, eggs or peanuts are used.

New from Amy'sNEW Pizza Margherita
(11.0 ounces, suggested retail price: $5.99)
Amy’s Kitchen’s newest pizza is based on the original Pizza Napoletana. The handstretched crust is thinner than the usual crust, the simple sauce made from organic tomatoes, and best of all is the topping, fresh mozzarella cheese sprinkled with Parmesan and basil.

NEW Tortilla Casserole Bowl
(9.5 ounces, suggested retail price: $4.29)
This casserole is based on a popular Mexican dish called Chilaquiles.  One of Amy’s chefs (whose family had owned a Mexican restaurant in San Francisco) was familiar with the dish and adapted it to suit Amy’s standards...organic ingredients, fewer “hot” spices, and less fat. The result is delicious and might remind you of a bowl of “nachos” made with organic baked corn chips and melted cheddar and jack cheeses. On the side are delicately seasoned slow-cooked black beans, making this gluten free
meal in a bowl thoroughly satisfying. Gluten free.

New from Amy'sNEW Bistro Burger
(10.0 ounces, suggested retail price: $4.29)
A good veggie burger is hard to find. And finding one that is gluten free and contains no dairy is even harder to do. But when you try Amy’s Bistro Burger, you’ll say “Eureka…I found it.” That’s because this veggie burger, made with organic brown rice, pinto beans, an assortment of organic vegetables, plenty of mushrooms and a touch of barbeque sauce to give it that just off the grill flavor, is truly delicious. Gluten free.

NEW Quarter Pound Burger
(16.0 ounces, suggested retail price: $5.49)
Those who prefer not to eat meat will find that Amy’s Quarter Pound Veggie Burger is just the thing to satisfy even the most avid burger fan. Amy’s Quarter Pound Veggie Burger combines fresh organic grain and vegetables with protein-rich soybeans and a hint of barbeque sauce to create a firm, great tasting burger that’s perfect for barbequing or grilling. A delicious substantial meal that will satisfy the heartiest of eaters.

New from Amy'sAmy’s Southern Meal
(10.0 ounces, suggested retail price: $4.29)
Down-home southern cooking at its best! The folks at Amy’s created this traditional meal with the help of a friend from Louisiana…mashed sweet potatoes, light cornbread with kernels of sweet corn and bits of pimento topped with a flavorful sauce and tender pinto beans, and collard and swiss chard “greens.”
