These sound really good! I LOVE dill pickles.

This was really good. Not spicy. Great savory sweetness. Excellent flavor and texture. Tastes better than it looks.
Feta was amazing!! I will get again. Great tangy flavor.
This is the best vegan butter I’ve tried. Second fav is the new plant I can’t believe it’s not butter. I’m not a fan of earth balance or melt. This tastes like garlic butter and makes anything taste like delicious garlic bread.
Okay

These are really good. They have a great raunchy flavor to them. Much more flavorful than the regular nuggets. So good dipped in Frank’s hot sauce. They have a nice tang to them. Gardein has to be my favorite vegan nugget brand.

Loved these! Great cheesy nacho flavor. Crunchy. Perfect in the air fryer. Slight amount of spice.

I love zbars so want to try these.0 -
Something I tried today was the steam fresh vegetable medley microwave bag thing that’s only flavored with mrs dash garlic herb seasoning and has olive oil and it’s 180 calories for the whole bag, definitely not filling on its own like you should have it as a side or with rice or something but it’s so convenient you throw it in the microwave and you have health steamed vegetables! I also added the Trader Joe’s vegan ceasar dressing for a little bit more flavor2

I always want to try things like this but I'm always disappointed by the cost and how much product I get. Plus not knowing if I will actually like them is risky.
Those BK pickle nuggets I may need to try!3 -
These have to be the best out of all the vegan nuggets I’ve tried. Even better than gardein. I didn’t expect it because I’ve never heard of this brand before. The breading really makes it. It is crispy and crunchy and very thick. Breading on its own doesn’t have much flavor so dipped in sauce is the way to go.

These were pretty good. It was weird how they look and feel like raw meat. I liked the bratwurst better but have never had meat bratwurst so have no clue how similar it is.
Had a great flavor and texture. I would get it again.
The Chorizo was good but not great snd I wouldn’t get it again. It was pretty spicy and tasted like dry ground taco meat crumbles in packed in sausage form.

I love these! Great chipotle flavor without being too spicy. Excellent texture. Not dry. Softer and less chewy than chicken, which I prefer. Amazing in wraps, on a bun, or in salads. Will get again.1 -

OK, you got me with these. I'm gonna try to find these locally.2 -

We've had the Jack & Annie's meatballs a couple of times and really liked them.0 -
These are only 100 cal. The peanut butter was my favorite. Great flavor. Very sweet but VERY chewy. I would get the pb again.

Got a couple beverage options! Got to try Zoa finally (energy drink by Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock), and it was ok. Kind of a weird fake-sugar flavor. The more I drank it the more ok it was. I might try one other flavor to see if it’s better but, as it stands, I wouldn’t buy them again unless they were on mega-clearance somewhere.
On the boozy side, I tried this cucumber sour beer and it was really amazing. It had fresh cucumber flavor, nothing fake or strange. It would probably be amazing some heavy BBQ, like saucy chicken or some sausages or something.2 -
$5.49
Unfortunately, though not surprising, they use sucralose.1 -

We have had the ZOA at Vitamin Shoppe a few months. The berry and orange are good!1 -
Wow these are so good they are like rice chips but with a hint of mango. VERY sweet and salty. Just soooo good. Will get again. Big bag for only 170 calories. Super crispy.

Grabbed some Christmas candies today. The gingerbread Kit Kats are good. They’re mostly a treat for my daughter, but I still found them tasty.
The salted caramel Twix is just a slightly saltier Twix. It’s good, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it again. I wish it had crunchy salt crystals in it or something like that.
The Snickers was HORRIBLE. -73/10. It tasted like a cinnamon candle. It was so bad I literally spat out the mouthful I was chewing, and I never do that. Yuck.3 -

Thanks for the review won’t be trying the snickers lol. I was curious about them.1 -
Quest nutrition has this new thing called "Fudgey brownie bites" (or bars). They have some protein in them, but I wouldn't exactly call them healthy at all. They, however, taste delicious.2

Healthy is subjective.
The protein would be a win for me. I have the birthday cake and chocolate cake flavored cookies but haven't tried them yet. 2 -
@Noreenmarie1234 I try to allow for different tastes, like “Oh I can see how someone would like this if they like X”, but that Snickers is so bad I can’t fathom anyone enjoying it. Literally just a weird fake cinnamon taste (not even fake like cinnamon candy, just… Fake) and combined with the nougat it was just… BLEHC.3

Since I got a new phone this year (2021), I've been unable to post photos on MFP forums. 😟

Tried this newish faux mince. It has a nice flavor and doesn't turn to mush like many other brands do. Made a yummy shepherd's pie. It's also healthier than a lot of the newer brands.
I also have their "chicken", which we will eat in pumpkin enchiladas this weekend.1 -

These are sooo good! Just heat and eat. I’m usually not a big tofu person because I hate cooking but these are so convenient. I’d get again.great texture not too hard and excellent garlick flavor.

Tried this alpha burrito today and was not impressed. I would not buy it again. It was super tiny for almost 300 calories. It wasn’t very flavorful either. Needed seasoning. It didn’t taste anything like an egg burrito. The burritos I make with a 60 cal tortilla, just egg, and stir fried veggies with hot sauce is 100x better tasting, 4x bigger and half the calories. Do not recommend

Okay I thought I'd add the taste test of my nugget extravaganza. Like I said been obsessed with vegan nuggets and hot sauce. I tried 9 brands so far (I also tried incogmeato by morningstar farms but it was awhile ago so I can't remember how they compare side by side these. I had all of these within the last few weeks so it was easy to compare)Dairy free nuggets taste testing in order from best to worst....
1. Whole foods brand
2. Morning star original
3. Jack and annies
4. Simulate nUggs dino shaped
5. Morning star popcorn chicken
6. Walmart brand
7. Gardein ultimate plant based nuggets
8. Raised and rooted
9. Gardein original tenders
1. WF brand: Super crunchy and thick bread crumb like coating with excellentgh d df texture. They taste like the super thick dino shaped ones or chicken nibblers I used to eat as a kid. Soak up hot sauce VERY well. So close to tasting like real chicken nuggets it was eerie.
2. Morningstar original nuggets: Great flavor and also very thick crispy panko like breading. A little more filling than WF brand. (I actually prefer more breading than filling) Very crunchy and soaks up sauce well which I like because I dunk all my nuggets in hot sauce.
3. Jack and annies: Thinner coating, but still very crispy with a light peppery flavor. Great texture with subtle sweetness from the jackfruit. Less spongey/rubbery than others. These are more “crispy” vs “crunchy”. If you aren’t someone who dunks their nuggets in hot sauce, these had the best flavor on their own.
4. Simulate nuggs dino shaped: Weird name and packaging. However, these tasted the MOST like real chicken. The inside was soft like real chicken. I bet this could fool a non vegan. I really liked these and would definitely get them again. They aren’t as crispy/crunchy as others but the inside texture is better.
5. Morningstar popcorn chick: Excellent! Like the nuggets but in popcorn form. I really love their breading because it is thick and gets really crunchy. I prefer the nuggets to the popcorn though.
6. Walmart brand: Not the best, breading too thin. Just okay. Kind of like morningstar farms but with a thinner coating.
7. Gardein ultimate plant based nuggets: A lot better than the regular gardein so I don’t know why they even make the original ones anymore. Still not the best, but decent. Not a fan of the texture of their “nuggets”, very spongey and airy. They get crunchy but don’t have much flavor and the coating is “smooth” and I prefer “textured’ if that makes sense. I prefer a coating that is more like bread crumbs than batter.
8. Raised and rooted: Reminded me of mcdonalds chicken nuggets exactly! The same “batter like” coating. I never liked mcdonalds chicken nuggets so I didn’t care for these. Very thin slightly crispy coating. Had a weird real “chicken” taste to them.
9. Gardein crispy tenders: Terrible! Super spongey/tempeh like weird texture with breading so thin it barely gives any flavor. Would not get again. Terrible flavor and texture.

Forgot to add pic of this bacon flavored one which was equally as bad. 370 calories for this little tiny thing! Not worth even half that. My wraps are literally 4x that size and less than half the calories and taste better. I only got them because they were on sale for 1 dollar and thought I’d try them. I’ve never had a frozen burrito that I liked.
