Beyond Sausage & Rice is a hearty fix for dinner that is rich in protein and nutrients but is 100% plant-based. We use the Beyond Meat brand sausage for this recipe, however, if you don’t use vegan meat alternatives, you can substitute for regular sausage and also substitute the vegetable broth for chicken stock.

Beyond Meat’s sausage is low in sodium, fat, and cholesterol and completely soy-free. This protein is pea and bean-based. You can read more about their ingredients here.
