JUST - Plant Eggs

I love a good breakfast sammie, so when we started carrying these at my work, I was too excited to try them. Right out of the package, they sure look like little omelets - processed ones perhaps but authentic looking nonetheless. Flavour wise, they were actually quite tasty. I got a little egg flavour but not as much as I would have liked. With that being said, they were pretty delicious and texturally speaking, pretty bang on. Nice and crispy but also kind of spongy on the inside. No complaints.
​
​BUY! - I would recommend them for sure. Functionally speaking, they're really only good for sammies and served up on their own. I'm looking forward to trying the liquid which kind of gives you more options in terms of usage.

SOL CUISINE - Hot & Spicy Chik'n Wings

O M G. That's all I need to say to accurately describe how I felt when I took the very first bite. Sol Cuisine definitely knows their chik'n products and this one is no exception. I originally tried their chik'n bites which I can confidently say are the best frozen take-home chik'n product I've tried, so I was obviously stoked to get my hand son these. There's nothing not to love y'all! They're juicy and tender, full of flavour, and eerily similar to a real chicken product. My father was particularly fond of them and as someone who still eats meat, I'd say there's no greater compliment.

BUY! - Don't even wait to finish reading this post! Go out and get every single bag they have left on the shelves. You won't regret it!

NUGGS - Nuggets

Alright, this one hurts me because I was dying to try these and originally, I thought they were pretty fabulous. However, I've since tried the Sol Cuisine bites and now I must admit, the Nuggs brand is mediocre at best. After trying them a few more times, I started to realize that there were some things about them that I wasn't fond of. First of all, they're kind of lacking in that chickeny flavour that you'd expect. Secondly, all 3 times I've had them, I've found them to be dry. Not unpleasantly so, but dry enough that I took notice. 

BYPASS! - Ugh, it pains me to give a bypass rating on a plant-based chik'n product because they're my absolute fave. There's just better options out there and frankly, they retail at $9.99 here in Canada so when you consider the Sol Cuisine bites are 3 dollars less, there's just no justification.

HAPPY VEG
