0 Comments

 
Who doesn';t love a good veggie nugget? They satisfy the need for something crispy and delicious while also providing us with good amounts of protein. I'm a sucker for a late night snack and often times, veggie nuggets are my go to.  With so many varieties of veggie nuggets on the market, how do we decide which ones we'll stock our freezers with? 

That's why it's time for another PRODUCT BATTLE! This time, we're comparing two veggie nuggets on the market to find out which one is the most nutritious choice. Let's take a look at our competitors!

ROUND 1
​CALORIES
YVES - 220
MORNINGSTAR - 200

WINNER - MORNINGSTAR FARMS


It's an extremely close race here but Morningstar Farms comes in at 20 calories less per serving of four nuggets. It's a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless.
ROUND 2
​FAT
YVES - 12g / 18% DV
MORNINGSTAR - 9g / 12%

WINNER - MORNINGSTAR FARMS


Morningstar farms takes the win this round with 3g of fat less per serving of four nuggets. If you ventured into a second serving, you'd save yourself a considerable amount of fat going with the Morningstar farms variety and really, who eats only four nuggets?
ROUND 3
​SODIUM
YVES - 430mg / 18% DV
MORNINGSTAR - 370mg / 16% DV

WINNER - MORNINGSTAR FARMS


Morningstar farms comes in with another victory at 60mg of sodium less per serving than the Yves nuggets. Neither option is especially good in the sodium department when you consider almost a fifth of your sodium for the day in a measly 4 nuggets. You'll want to pair your nuggets with a fresh and delicious salad on the side to balance things out.
ROUND 4
​FIBER
YVES - 3g
MORNINGSTAR - 3g

WINNER - TIE


​Both options have an equal amount of fiber per serving. As we know, fiber is a crucial part of our overall health and getting enough is important so you're investing in the right choice with either nugget option.
ROUND 5
​PROTEIN
YVES - 14g
MORNINGSTAR - 12g

WINNER - YVES


​Another close round but Yves manages to pack in an additional 2 grams of protein per serving of four nuggets. Both options however offer up a decent amount of protein per serving so us veggies will benefit from either option in this case!
ROUND 6
​VITAMINS & MINERALS

WINNER - YVES

Based solely off of the information provided on both nutrition labels, YVES offers up more vitamins and minerals per serving. Also, comparing the two vitamins available on both nutrition labels, YVES offers up more calcium and significantly more iron per serving. YVES is the clear winner this round!
