Enjoy A Meatless Meatball Wrap At Pret A Manger Restaurants In DC

WASHINGTON, DC — For both vegetarians and meat-eaters who love a good fake meat sandwich, Pret A Manger restaurants in Washington, D.C., are now offering a new Meatless Meatball Wrap.

Developed exclusively by Meatless Farm for Pret A Manger, the new Meatless Meatball Wrap features plant-based meatballs, a layer of marinara sauce, red onions, red peppers and crispy onions inside a seven-grain wrap.

The wrap, the first plant-based meat item on Pret A Manger’s U.S. menu, offers 24 grams of plant-based protein.

“We are excited to offer our first meat-alternative menu item for customers who are looking to enjoy more plant-based options for health reasons, animal welfare, or helping to protect our planet," Jorrie Bruffett, president of Pret A Manger USA, said in a statement.

The Meatless Meatball Wrap has become a fan-favorite recipe in the U.K. — where veggie burgers and other fake meat items are more common at eateries than in the U.S. — after a launch last year.

Pret A Manger said it is looking to build on that momentum with the wrap's introduction into the U.S. market.

The Meatless Meatball Wrap is available starting on Monday at these six locations in D.C.:

• 1275 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
• 1701 K Street NW
• 1825 Eye Street, NW
• 1155 F Street, NW
• 1800 M Street NW
• 1828 L Street NW
