Ok...I've seen these before.

Who likes them?

What are your faves?

Are there "similar" products in another brand that you would recommend?


Thanks!

    I just bought some of the veggie "turkey" burgers and they are good. I ate it on one of those "thin" buns and put ketchup, mustard and pickle on it. It was yummy! First time I've ever had a veggie burger as well.

    How did you give up Soda's? I have cut back to 1-2 mini diet sodas per day.

    I really like the maple flavored sausage patties(still fake), they are great for breakfast sandwiches, which I can eat any time of day.

    The breakfast sausage patties with egg beaters and FF cheese between an english muffin or bagel thin is a great start.

    So far, Morning Star is the best I've found. Problem for me is that I live in Montreal and since moving to Canada, I have a hard time finding Morning Star or anything else like it! If anyone knows what stores in the Montreal area sell it, let me know. Thanks!

    We love the griller's prime "burgers" (even my hubby loves them!). We also get the maple "sausage" patties and I use them for breakfast.
  • I actually used to be a vegetarian for a long time and Moringstar was the only veggie products I liked. I still eat them!
    I personally like the veggie sausage patties, all of their chicken products are good. I like their black bean veggie burger as well.
    I think Morningstar has the best tasting veggie burgers out there (and I have tried a lot). Keep in mind they do not taste like a regular burger but they are better than other brands such as Boca!

    The sausage is great. Especially in things like eggs or casseroles. I ate it the first three times and didn't know it was real sausage until my friend confessed.

    I used to eat them when I was vegetarian but I wouldn't eat them now. They are highly processed and are made with genetically modified ingredients. You'd be better off with organic tofu or tempeh. It won't be like meat but it's healthier and won't have any unknown potentially harmful side effects.

    The sausage patties are wonderful. When I went home my mother made Jimmy Dean sausage patties and I was wishing for the Morning Star version. You honestly won't be able to tell aren't meat.
  • My favorites
    Morning star: blackbean burgers, sausage patties(I prefer original but they have maple flavor too), chick patties are okay

    Quron:
    Fake chicken breast plain/bag of pieces
    Fake chick breaded with cranberry and goat cheese
    Fake ground beef crumbles

    Gardein
    Chick scallopini

    Smartlife veggie protein dogs


    And I'm not even a vegetarian!

    How did you give up Soda's? I have cut back to 1-2 mini diet sodas per day.

    I seriously had to go "COLD TURKEY". I tried doing the one a day thing, which led me to allow myself 2 a day.. and so on...


    I took tylenol for the first week.... Now, I'm MOSTLY over it! haha... It's hard when we go to a fast food place...(ewww...)

    I don't drink coffee either, so I'm mostly caffeine free except for the occasional chocolate! YUM!!

    I used to eat them too; until I found out I'm allergic to some of the preservatives in them. I had no outward symptoms, but the preservatives were really hindering my weight loss and health. Now I eat lost of organic and non-processed foods and feel lots better.

    My entire meat eating family likes the maple sausage patties better than real sausage.

    I like the sausage patties and the garden medley burger. I do the burger on a sandwich flat, with mustard and cheese. I have also used the bacon. I wouldn't eat that plain but it is good on a sandwich with some avocado or in an omlette.

    Used the Morningstar Crumbles once for chili, didn't tell my teenage son - he decided he likes chili better with this than with ground beef! So here's HIS recipe for Chili, which he makes for me several times a month!

    1 can black beans
    1 can diced tomatoes
    1/4 cup Williams Chili Seasoning
    1 package Morningstar Crumbles

    Dump it all in a saucepan, stir, med-low heat 15-30 mins, stirring frequently.

    Yummy!

    I like the hot and spicy sausage patties (I can only find those at Publix). The sausage crumbles are also good particularly in eggs. I use the "ground beef" crumbles when I make tacos and you cannot tell that it isn't real meat. I would just make it a point to use in moderation because they are highly processed.

    I wasn't too impressed w/ the ingredient list on Morningstar or Boca for that matter. I find Dr. Praeger's more reasonable for a quick lunch option.

    The breakfast sausage patties with egg beaters and FF cheese between an english muffin or bagel thin is a great start.

    This is my breakfast almost every day. Although I use a whole egg and regular or 2% cheese. With a fruit it's about a 400 calorie breakfast and leaves me full longer than oatmeal. I'm addicted to the veggie sausage, it's one of my grocery staples.

    ETA: I also like to season with Canadian Steak Seasoning (also called Montreal Steak Seasoning), it has a lot of the spices I associate with sausage and makes it taste more sausage-y imo.

    The meal starters crumbles are a favorite in our house. I use 'em in eggs, made a chili with them and are the "meat" component of a super easy Shepherd's Pie that the hubby and I love. I also got their riblet things once recently right after the McRib was reintroduced so I could calm the desire to stop by McDonalds and grab one. It was a tasty enough substitute to do just that, though I think it was a bit high on the sugar side, if I remember correctly. (likely due to the sauce)

    I love the chix patties but up on some whole grain pasta with some veggie laden pasta sauce. They are also great on a bun with lettuce and whatever other fixings you like. As a learning plant strong eater (avoiding meats and dairy) I love Morningstar for the transition to meat-free.
  • I really love all the morning star products! The chicken nuggets, bacon, and hot dogs are great. I never feel deprived. I save on fat and calories. Plus I feel better about not eating meat. I do wish they were less expensive though :(
  • I think they sell Quorn in Canada. They have delicious ultra-realistic chicken breasts.

    I love the spicy black bean burgers with some feta on top! costco has the spicy chipotle black bean burger...yum! I like the buffalo chikin tenders & the mini veggie corn dogs (taste better in the oven, not microwaved)
