A Delightful Meal, Starbucks Meal Box

Enjoy It with Coffee!

Sometimes there are days like that. You’re hungry but don’t want a full meal, and you crave something light. On those days, head to Starbucks. Delicious meal boxes are waiting for us. Among Starbucks’ various meal boxes, here are two tasty options. The vegan-friendly Lasagna & Vegetable Meal Box and the Egg Bacon Brioche Meal Box are today’s stars, perfect for anyone to enjoy without worry.

Both meal boxes include a main dish and a simple salad. The Lasagna & Vegetable Meal Box is priced at 6,700 KRW, and the Egg Bacon Brioche Meal Box costs 5,900 KRW.

Lasagna & Vegetable Meal Box

Launched at the end of March, the fresh new Lasagna & Vegetable Meal Box features plant-based meat alternatives. It’s a “plant-based food” item. Next to the lasagna topped generously with plant-based cheese, you’ll find roasted zucchini, eggplant, broccoli, mushrooms, and tomatoes. The cream sauce drizzled over the vegetables perfectly complements the natural sweetness of the roasted veggies.

After microwaving for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, the cheese on the lasagna slightly melted. The pasta sauce is a ragu sauce with finely chopped meat, but although plant-based ingredients are used, the taste and texture are just like non-vegan lasagna or meat sauce pasta. I would recommend this lasagna to anyone who has prejudices against vegan food!

The taste was excellent, but the portion was smaller than expected. Especially compared to the photos on the website, the amount of vegetables was quite limited, which was disappointing. It doesn’t provide the filling satisfaction of a full rice meal, but it’s suitable for breakfast or when you want a very light meal.

Egg Bacon Brioche Meal Box

The Egg Bacon Brioche Meal Box consists of a brioche sandwich and chicken Caesar salad. Unlike the Lasagna & Vegetable Meal Box, this is a non-vegan product. Between the richer and softer brioche bread, there are egg, cheese, and bacon.

The brioche sandwich, the main dish of the meal box, tastes similar to the familiar egg mayo sandwich. It feels like a regular egg mayo with the added richness of thick cheese. Its familiar flavor makes it easy to enjoy without hesitation. Heating it up in an air fryer or microwave enhances the cheese’s aroma. Paired with a Caesar salad containing crunchy green beans and tender chicken breast, it makes for a satisfying meal.
