British plant-based meal kit brand Grubby is bringing the Allplants recipes back to consumers for the first time since acquiring the ready meal company’s exclusive IP rights earlier this year, marking its debut into the ready meals category.

Grubby acquired the rights to Allplants’ products, recipes and manufacturing methods in March 2025 following Allplants’ appointment of administrators in November 2024. Ella Mills, founder of plant-based brands Deliciously Ella and Plants, acquired the Allplants name and customer database in a separate deal in February.

Now, Grubby has relaunched the ready meal brand’s recipes as part of its broader plans to expand its product offering across new channels and eating occasions.

All nine meals are recreations of the original Allplants recipes, aiming to ‘stay as true as possible to the range’ through using the same quality ingredients combined with Grubby’s own culinary innovation.

Available exclusively online initially, with plans for a retail launch underway, the nine products debuting from 22 August include:

• Miso Tamari Buddha: Chilli-glazed tofu with edamame smash and grains

• Harissa Cauli Grain Bowl: Harissa cauliflower with muhammara sauce and Levantine grain mix

• Tempeh Rainbow Buddha Bowl: Crispy miso tempeh, beetroot rice and ginger turmeric chickpea squash

• Chickpea Apricot Tagine: Sweet potato tagine with apricot, za’atar marinade and dukkah garnish

• Tofu Saag Paneer Curry: Aromatic spinach, potato and tofu curry

• Tex Mex Protein Bowl: Smoky Tex-Mex bean chilli with broad bean smash

• Cashew Mac and Greens: Creamy macaroni with cashew sauce and golden breadcrumbs

• Spicy Szechuan Noodles: Brown rice noodles with spicy tahini sauce, soya, mushroom mince and pak choi

• Creamy Nduja Rigatoni: Rigatoni in creamy sauce topped with plant-based spicy n’duja crumb

Each frozen meal can be ready in minutes via microwave, oven or pan frying, packing in an average of 23g of protein, 13 plant points and 10g of fibre. Grubby said it is targeting ‘busy, health-conscious urban professionals’ with the line-up.

Martin Holden-White, founder of Grubby, said: “We promised to bring the much-loved Allplants products back to life for customers and, after months of hard work, we are delighted to deliver on our commitment”.

“The incredible work Jonathan Petrides and his team did in developing these dishes was a true asset of the brand and we’re delighted that they will live on, with a refreshed Grubby spin as part of our exciting expansion into ready meals.”

The Grubby ready meal line-up is set to increase to 15 recipes by the end of the year, the company said in a press release announcing the launch.
