Some of My Fav products

GARDEIN

Gardein is one of my favourite lines of plant-based products. Their line is extensive and features traditional meat substitutes for burgers, chicken burgers, or nuggets, while also featuring some unique meat subs like the stuffed turkey or fish fillets. I've tried most of their line and have been relatively pleased with everything I tried. Here's my fav products from the Gardein line that I've tried thus far.

Crispy Chik'n Sliders

Ok guys, these are by far my favourite product from Gardein. These little snack size chik'n sliders are absolutely delicious and frankly, quite addictive. I've never opened the box without eating all 4 of the sliders in one sitting, this is the honest truth.

They're so crunchy out of the oven and have a really good flavour. The itty bitty buns are also finished in the oven which gives them a nice golden brown situation. I love to dress these simply with some mayo and pickled hot peppers but you can eat them without anything on them at all and I'm sure you'll enjoy them!

Chipotle Black Bean Burgers

​What can I say, Gardein makes good burgers. What I love about these burgers is that they're not competing to be the meatiest or most meat like burger available, they're in a league all their own. I love the chipotle flavour that comes through in every bite, it's just enough to spark some oral excitement without burning the inside of my mouth. They're tasty, gluten free, and a nice change from most burger patties that are all trying to be meat nowadays. 

Turk'y Cutlets

This is another one of my favs from the line. There's something about a crispy cutlet drizzled with gravy that brings me back to my youth and the dinner's I grew up eating. These crispy turk'y cutlets have a good amount of flavour and get gloriously crispy and golden out of the oven. The provided gravy is unique and really subtle, but it pairs so perfectly with the cutlets. These babies are perfect paired up with a side of mixed veg and some potato mash for a traditional looking plate that makes me feel all nostalgic. 

I'm obsessed with these cutlets!

YVES VEGGIE CUISINE 

Yves has been my go-to line right back to when I first became a vegetarian. Their products are familiar and easily accessible. 

Ground Round

Before Beyond Meat flooded the market, there was Yves Ground Round. This product has been my go-to for dishes like Shepherd's Pie & meat sauces for many years. The flavour is very subtle which I enjoy because it doesn't overpower or take away from the flavours of the dish you're whipping up. It provides a meat like texture without all the grease and fat which is another thing I love about it. I've always got a pack on hand and can confidently say that it is my top 3 for ground round products on the market.

Deli Slices

Oh, the nostalgia of it all. Remember the days of lunch meat sammies? Taking me all the way back to lunch boxes and grade school. I love Yves line of veggie deli slices for when I'm craving a bit of nostalgia. There's nothing like a good sub stuffed with lettuce, tomato, deli slices, cheese, and all the condiments imaginable. They offer turkey, ham, bologna, salami, and pepperoni, all of which I've tried and can literally eat straight from the package. They're great to have on hand for sammies on the go.

OTHERS

LIGHTLIFE Veggie Dogs

Hot dogs are cringy because we know that they're made with like, all the leftover parts of the animals. There's nothing cute about meat hot dogs but veggie dogs are where it's at. I get a craving for hot dogs once in a blue moon and when I do, I reach for Lightlife's dogs. Everything you love about hot dogs, right down to that familiar flavour without all of the fat or cholesterol. What's not to love?

BEYOND MEAT Breakfast Patties

There's absolutely no competition for these breakfast patties that I've tried. Although these patties are hard to find, when you get your hands on them, you'll be obsessed just like me. They're so abundantly flavourful and have the perfect texture. They even smell delicious as they're sizzling up in the pan. Your breakfast sandwich will never be the same, you must try these patties!

PC BRAND Plant-Based Broths

I've already posted about these broths in like, 3 separate posts to date. I'm absolutely obsessed with these broths and have used them in so many dishes since they hit the market. They contain herbs, vegetables, and spices that contribute to their overall flavour and give you the feeling of using real chicken or beef based broths. They're much richer and more flavourful than your traditional veggie broth. I swear by these and always have one of each in my pantry.
