Trying to go meatless

"Tried this product just to see how it tastes and how easy it is to cook with. I’d be hard pressed to go meatless, but this product does have a good taste and texture when prepared. I was a little concerned when I poured out an almost powdery substance into a bowl, but mixing in water quickly made it look more like a burger patty. The burger I made was good and it cooked well, just need to watch it closely so it doesn’t burn. Using it as crumbles on pizza, it looked much like a meat but didn’t seem to add or detract from the taste. The calories are pretty high, 200 for a small burger (third of a cup) but if I were to go meatless this would definitely be a product I would buy consistently."

"I tried neat meat in casserole and it was great! It would be great as ground meat in a sauce of some type. LOVE that it does NOT have soy!"

Meatball Subs!

"As a meatball, this stuff is awesome! Perfection!
I love that I can completely understand the ingredients. Some of the other meat substitutes are so heavily processed that I’m not convinced they are better for you. My husband loves these as meatballs too! I tried the Mexican version as ground in a skillet and wasn’t super impressed. Hubby found it suitable though."

"Yum! Mexican mix! I tried this on a whim, as a celiac and busy professional I was looking for a quick protein/meal option. This tasted exactly like the ground beef Id make in my burritos! The texture was perfect too! Seriously surprised. :-)"
