Due to food sensitivities (celiac disease and soy intolerance), I can't eat most commercially available meat substitutes. The only one I can eat is Beyond Meat's beefy crumbles. They are seriously yummy.1

I'll eat vegetarian patties and such from time to time for a nice change of pace.SuzySunshine99 wrote: »Ready2Rock206 wrote: »I am not a vegetarian but I really like them.

I'm not being snarky, just genuinely curious...if you are not vegetarian, why do you choose to eat these products instead of meat?

I haven't tried MorningStar, but I will sing praises of the Sweet Earth products. Their breakfast burritos are so delicious! They also have a tasty pizza Mac and cheese. They have a lot of really great vegetarian/vegan products, but they can be hard to find.0

I don't think it's humorous, either. What's funny about dislike of certain flavors and textures, and a gravitation toward others?2 -
I don't eat many Morningstar Farms foods because of the soy protein but I really like the chickpea burger thingy they have.0

I didn't read this part. I'm really sorry that you're having to deal with that. Sweet Earth uses seitan (wheat product) and tofu. So, that's definitely out of the question.
So, maybe things like Greek yogurt, legumes, quinoa, and those types of protein would be beneficial? Oh...and lentils. I love lentils, and they are great for protein.0 -
Non-vegetarian here also: I've come to like veggie burgers, too; I haven't tried Moringstar, but Dr. Praeger often finds its way into my shopping basket (I just finished off a Dr. Praeger black bean burger). Here's some ingredient and nutrition info on their California veggie burger:

Low sodium, which counts with me; protein and fiber fair. Taste mild but pleasant. Ingredient list pretty simple. It'll do.
For me, why vegetarian sometimes when I'm not: I like variety: for example, I went pretty heavy on beef this week, having overloaded my freezer and wanting to clear out without throwing out. So yesterday and today, I felt I needed some relief. No meat at all: sweet potato and brussels sprouts based salad for lunch. Veggie burger for dinner, yogurt mixed with nutella for dessert. Lots of water.

I feel like black beans are a food everyone could potentially enjoy. They're not just for vegetarians. Even before I was vegan, I really enjoyed black bean burgers.
Years ago a vegetarian friend had me over for dinner. I found the morning star chik nuggets were great, and will get them from time to time. If you ever see them the "riblets" are to die for. a better mcRib than mcdonalds.0 -
I am also a vegetarian. I drink the slim fast advance. It has 20 grams of protein.

My favorite are the black bean crumbles. Tasty, plus, unlike ground beef, I don't need to break the package down into smaller amounts before I freeze it (because I'm not likely to want a pound or two of meat at a time unless I'm making a huge casserole, which I don't much do). You can open the bag of crumbles and take out as much as you want and put the rest back in the freezer.
I like Field Roast and Gardein products too, but they are much pricier.

Like some others on this thread, I'm not a vegetarian. I'm not Jewish either, but I take advantage of canned sardine sales that always seem to occur near Jewish Holy Days (not 100% sure what that's about, but hey, cheap sardines for me!). Some of the foods I eat would fit in low-carb or keto diets, some foods I eat would fit in paleo diets, some foods I eat would pass muster with "clean" eaters, but I'm not low-carb, paleo, or "clean." Practically none of my food choices are the result of a special dietary adherence, unless you count some "abstinence" practices during Lent. Foods aimed at vegetarians exist. Occasionally I try them for variety. The ones I like I eat again, especially if they're convenient or expand my options or help with hitting protein, fiber, or micronutrient goals. (I have zero problems hitting fat goals
) 2 -
I like them (although I'm not a vegetarian), but you have to be cautious of the sodium content on a lot of their products. But they're delicious. 0

Their new "Beyond Burger" is also soy/gluten-free. I really liked it.0 -

Yes to all of those. And eggs, egg whites, and cottage cheese. I do fine. I'm still in search of the perfect home made black bean burger recipe, though. Haven't found a good one yet.0 -

No one around me is carrying it. I've been looking. Well, stalking really
I live in hope. 4 -
I am not vegetarian but I enjoy the taste and ease of the product that I can bring for lunch at work..I like the pizza
( ish ) flavored one..and pretty decent on calories and macros too...0 -
The fake sausage patties are pretty good with eggs. Even the fake bacon is good once you figure out how to make them crispy. The secret is removing as much moisture as possible before you zap them.
They are highly processed though, it's sure not a perfect whole food like plants are.0 -

That's a cool technique on making them. I'll give those a try. Thanks!0
