Plant-Based Be'f Chili With Beans, 15 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot this in the frozen or plant-based ready-meals section as a quick microwave-or-stovetop chili for nights when you want an easy meatless meal. It feels comforting and slightly nostalgic—a convenient, indulgent shortcut to classic chili without hours of cooking. The long ingredient list with textured soy protein, palm oil, emulsifiers, colorants and gums signals industrial reformulation to mimic meat texture and prolong shelf life, typical of ultraprocessed products.

Common Questions about Plant-Based Be'f Chili With Beans, 15 OZ
The Be'f Chili is a pretty solid option if you're looking for something hearty and filling. It packs a protein punch with 28 grams per can and boasts 21 grams of fiber, which can help keep you feeling full. Just remember, 'healthy' can mean different things depending on your dietary goals, so it's great for a protein boost, but not necessarily the lowest in sodium.
