Other than tofu or flax, does anyone know of a good vegan egg-replacement product that can be used for scrambled eggs (not just for baking)? Thank you! :smile:

    Oh no... I can only imagine what the nutritional label looks like... Thanks, I'll have a look see :smile:

    I meant more from a " I chose not to eat eggs, and therefore don't feel the need to substitute things for them" kind of perspective. I don't really care about the nutritional label. Either it fits my macros or it doesn't.

    The only eggs I eat is when I bake, otherwise no eggs whatsoever.

    For my scrambled eggs, I use chick peas, works wonders and taste really nice - high in protein and fiber - plant based.

    But I might give this vegan egg a try, there is always a first time.

    Do you cook them the same as eggs in a frying pan? This sounds like it might be good.

    I have a sample of this sitting in my pantry. Admittedly, I'm afraid to try it.

    Yeah I am very hesitant to try things like that as well. I just didn't know if something like that existed. I don't eat eggs either but was looking for something aside from chia, tofu, chickpeas.

    How do you cook chickpeas to be like scrambled eggs?

    Thanks for the posting. I normally leave out the cabbage, everything else can be used. I normally rinse my chick peas, put them in a food processor and scramble them with short pulses, to prevent them from becoming too squashed up. Add some cheese that it taste even better.

    But it is very filling as a breakfast/lunch/dinner. I also use chick peas as a base for my smoothie with: carrot juice, organic spring mix, frozen banana, sunflower seed or cashew butter - all plant based and makes the best smoothie.

    I normally use Goya chick peas, but have found that Trader Joe's sells the best on the market @$.99 per can, very low in salt and very firm to the touch, not like Goya which is a lot saltier and softer.

    YUM! Thanks for this information, I love chick peas :)

    So... I lied. My SO bought this and I did try it.

    Uncanny. Made me uncomfortable eating it, how uncanny it was.

    Wow this is a good idea, never thought of using chick peas. Do you smoosh them up or what?

    I guess the Follow your heart vegan eggs have REALLY good reviews, but who knows. They are costly.

    I've tried the Follow Your Heart Vegan Eggs. They are just OK and only good for scrambled and/or an omelet. Have to cook it a real long time.
