Tim Hortons now offering Beyond Meat Burgers across Canada

It would appear that Tim Hortons has fully boarded the veggie-train.

Only a short time after the roll-out of Beyond Meat breakfast options hit stores across Canada, the company has added another plant-based option to its menu.

Actually, it’s added two.

The new Beyond Meat Burgers available at Tims will come in original and BBQ flavours, and will serve as a substantial later-day meal for those who are veg-forward.

Plain buns with tomato and lettuce, no more!

“Following the success of the Beyond Meat Breakfast Sandwich launch, we wanted to partner with Tim Hortons to offer Canadians a delicious plant-based lunch and dinner option,” said Ethan Brown, founder and CEO of Beyond Meat in a release.

Now available at nearly 4,000 restaurants across the country, the Beyond Meat Burger was developed to taste like a beef burger.

As the preparation of the burger patty is similar to the plant-based breakfast patties the eatery recently introduced, this is the first time the restaurant is able to serve a burger.

These are the details of the options you can choose between:

• The Beyond Burger features Beyond Meat’s 100% plant-based patty and is topped with processed cheese, tomato slices, shredded lettuce, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise on a sesame seed bun. Priced at about $5.69, the cost will vary by region.
• The BBQ Beyond Burger is made with the Beyond Meat patty, topped with processed cheese, tomato slices, shredded lettuce, BBQ sauce and mayonnaise. Priced at about $5.69, the cost will vary by region for this sandwich, as well.
