I just tried their Mandarin Orange Chick'N and omg good! My 2 year old loves their products too. I ate 5 nuggets with sauce, sriracha, baby spinach and arugula for only 173 calories for the full meal. Crazy and delicious! I also love their 7 grain tenders. :love: I wasn't amazed by the chick'n sliders but they're decent too. The "meat"balls are good and my kids eat them for me. I have their beef tips in the fridge all ready to try out next. ^_^ & just in case someone stops by to complain at me "clean eating yada yada yada" I eat vegetables, fruits and all that good stuff too, but I like yummy food. lol

    Here's some food porn to make your day. Hidden veggies at a super classy restaurant here. The link is Instagram so I hope you can see it.

    Decent. I hide veggies in their grilled cheese, potatoes, etc. Whatever I need to. My son has autism so he has a very picky palate :)

    I resurrected a home made shepherds pie this week from the depths of the freezer. The mashed "potatoes" are half mashed cauliflower and the beef includes buckwheat grains. It was devoured with hubby none the wiser.

    I like some of their products I hated the meatballs lol. I mostly just do the chicken nuggets and crumbles and grilles whatever Costco has bc it's overpriced. But I will try more I'm not vegetarian I eat mostly veggies. My daughter likes their chicken nuggets

    I like most of their products I've tried. The beefless tips are one of my favorites.

    I eat their beef less sliders every night with reduced fat provolone and it's great. I get over 20g of protein from that alone!

    I love their products! Been veg for about 13 years and this brand really helps me out. My favorite vegetarian brands would have to be Morningstar Farms and Dr.Praegers!

    I LOVE their chik'n sliders and so does my 6 year old. Both my kids also love the nuggets without the sauce. We also love the meatballs. I love the fishless filets, my toddler likes them but my 6 yearold won't touch it because she was always picky about fish so she won't try it lol. I find the beefless tips are too mushy for me and the porkless bites have that layer of "fat" on it that just turns me off, maybe because it's too much like real meat lol
