June 23, 2025 | Seattle – Plant-based meat production company Rebellyous Foods announced the debut of three new products, Spicy Kickin’ Nuggets and Tenders, expanding its bold Spicy Kickin’ line alongside the debut of Kickin’ Popcorn. Designed for K-12 schools, restaurants, and food service providers, these new offerings, available for ordering on July 7, 2025, deliver the same flavor chicken enthusiasts love while providing environmental and nutritional benefits that traditional chicken products cannot match.  

 “We’re thrilled to grow this spicy product line with Nuggets & Tenders that capture the same delicious flavor and crispy coating that made our Spicy Kickin' Patties a customer favorite,” said Christie Lagally, Founder and CEO of Rebellyous Foods. “Our new Kickin’ Popcorn meets customer demand for perfectly bite-sized tasty morsels. We’re committed  to culinary innovation and customer accessibility that satisfies cravings for both dedicated plant-based consumers and traditional meat-eaters across school districts, event venues, restaurant chains, franchises, and food establishments.” 

Made from 100% vegan ingredients and free of cholesterol, antibiotics, and hormones, with less saturated fat than traditional chicken nuggets and tenders, Rebellyous is making it easier than ever to offer better-for-you options that are full of flavor. These exciting products debut amid a period of rapid growth for the brand. Rebellyous recently partnered with Dot Foods to expand distribution, now serving over 390+ school districts and more than 5 million students nationwide with even more plant-based goodness.

“Our customers have been eager for more options, and we’re thrilled to deliver three new products to enhance their menus,” said Lauren Pitts, RD, Senior Foodservice Account Manager and Dietitian for Rebellyous Foods. “All of our products at Rebellyous, including Spicy Kickin’ Nuggets & Tenders, and Kickin’ Popcorn, meet USDA National School Lunch Program requirements and are easy to prepare, making them ideal for foodservice operators seeking flavorful, planet-friendly alternatives.”
