Amy’s Kitchen Makes VegOut’s 12 Best Vegan Frozen Dinners: Here’s Why

Plantastic powerhouse Amy's Kitchen earned a coveted spot on VegOut magazine's 2025 12 Best Vegan Frozen Dinners list, proving that quick meals can deliver both convenience and quality. The recognition comes as no surprise to loyal customers who have trusted Amy's Kitchen since 1987 to provide delicious, organic vegetarian and vegan options.

So which Amy’s Kitchen dishes made the cut? VegOut gave props to Amy’s Vegan Broccoli & Cheeze Bake, Veggie Loaf, Pad Thai, and Asian Stir-Fry.

“Amy’s offers a wide range of vegan frozen meals that are perfect for those seeking convenient, plant-based options,” the VegOut article said. “Amy’s has something for everyone. They even have Tofu Scramble for those days you don't feel like cooking from scratch! Each meal is made with mostly organic ingredients and no GMOs, ensuring a wholesome and delicious entree.”

VegOut's recognition highlights the company's ability to create globally inspired dishes while maintaining its commitment to flavor and organic, non-GMO ingredients.

“Each meal we make is designed to be enjoyed by a person. And that person's experience deeply matters to us,” Amy's Kitchen President Paul Schiefer shares. “We believe every meal matters and therefore every sentiment a consumer has about that meal matters deeply.”

Crafting its products with flavorful farm-fresh ingredients has been part of Amy’s Kitchen’s mission from the beginning.

Amy’s Kitchen fans haven’t been shy about leaving their thoughts about their favorite Amy’s dishes all over social media. On target.com, one reviewer named Lyss tried Amy's Vegan Gluten Free Frozen Pad Thai and wrote, “This is my favorite frozen dinner and a comfort meal staple for me. Has the right amount of flavor just add a little salt! Not spicy and incredibly comforting.”

Another reviewer of the same vegan dish named “Tf” shared a target.com review stating, “Great taste, love finding gluten and dairy free options in the freezer section!”

"We started from the very first day with this premise that every meal we serve should be good enough to serve to our closest friends and family," explains Schiefer. "The way to do that is by finding the highest quality ingredients, working directly with farmers and growers on varieties and processing techniques."

Unlike typical frozen meal manufacturers, Amy's Kitchen takes pride in actually cooking food rather than simply manufacturing it. Its kitchens buzz with activities familiar to home cooks: sauteing onions, building roux, and using real herbs and spices. This dedication to authentic cooking techniques helps explain why its Vegan Broccoli & Cheeze Bake and other plant-based offerings have captured the hearts of customers nationwide.

Sustainable From Day One

The company's commitment to sustainability dates back to its founding. Andy and Rachel Berliner, Amy's Kitchen's founders, structured the business around environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Amy’s Kitchen’s dedication to organic ingredients stems from early observations of conventional farming's impact on communities and ecosystems.

Today, Amy's Kitchen continues these practices while expanding its environmental initiatives. The company sources 35% to 40% of its electricity from renewable sources, with plans to reach 100%. Its packaging is 75% compostable or recyclable, with ongoing trials to make the remaining 25% eco-friendly.

Family-Sized Future

Amy's Kitchen expanded its fleet of foods with family-size offerings of popular dishes, including its Vegan Pad Thai. Larger portions aim to provide affordable, convenient meal solutions for families juggling work and child care responsibilities. It’s another part of Amy’s Kitchen’s ongoing commitment to meeting its customers’ evolving needs.

“We know that inflation has been difficult,” Schiefer explains. “It's raised the cost of food for a lot of people across the country. And we also know that a lot of families are balancing child care with work and life, and they need something that really tastes good, that's convenient, and feeds the whole family at an affordable price.”

The company's dedication to positive impact recently earned CEO Andy Berliner the No. 3 spot in the 2025 MO 100 Top Impact CEO Ranking, which celebrates leaders driving positive social and environmental change.

The environmental impact of choosing these plant-based options proves significant. The company reports that an Amy's veggie burger produces only 10% of the carbon footprint compared to traditional meat-based alternatives — representing approximately 50,000 metric tons of CO2 savings annually through its use of plant proteins.
