I eat mostly vegetarian because Iām against factory farming. But the truth is, even before I was veggie I rarely ate red meat. I was more of a chicken or fish girl I guess?
So, chicken is really the only thing I miss in not eating meat. That all changed today when I discovered this new find ā meat free tuscan breasts. I love that they are not just āveggieā chicken nuggets or patties. Those donāt replace a piece of chicken. But these are amazing!
Since I am trying to get more protein, I loved this product even more! Twenty grams of vegetarian protein can be hard to find.
I threw one of the chicken patties on top of a huge salad. It was delicious! Itās crazy how similar to chicken the texture was too. I am sure these are a new regular item in my shopping cart.
Doesnāt that look like chicken to you? 
Mid-morning I snacked on the rest of my roasted chickpeas and some peanuts.
After lunch I meant to just grab a handful of grapes, but now they are all gone. This is why I recently stopped buying grapes at Costco. I would eat the entire 7lbs of uvas in 2 days. Busted.
Now I am off to babysitā¦ See you later š
Thanks for sharing, I found this article, while searching for some free downloads and ran across this site, useful comments and good points made.
I have seen those at WF’s, maybe I’ll have to try them out. 22 grams of protein is amazing. I need to make roasted chickpeas ASAP.
Holy protein Batman!!! I will need to try those for that fact alone!
I’m not sure I can get behind the “meatless meat” concept; it kind of freaks me out. There are so many awesome things you can make from real, whole ingredients that don’t involve meat. I really think that stuff like this is the reason why we have the word Frankenfood.
I agree that whole foods are better. But, I’d rather eat fake chicken than real chicken even if it is more processed. I eat beans like a mo-fo, so I think some fake chicken is cool sometimes š
I bought that same brand of meatless stuff last week, I bought the meatless beef tips to do some kind of jap stir fry. I haven’t tried it yet. That “chicken” looks yummy!
Ive seen this brand everywhere except in my grocery store aisles! Hopefully Ill get to try them out soon. It definitely does look like real chicken though.
Oh man, I’ve got to try those. I tried the gardein pulled pork and really enjoy that.
22g of protein in 150cals is such a good ratio!
Those chickpeas look nice and toasty. Yum.
Wow, that actually looks pretty good and normally I avoid fake chicken, too. Maybe I’ll try it.
MMM that chicken looks good. I think i will have to hunt that down š
how do you make the roasted chickpeas again? i need to make some. they look sooo good.
I love grapes. the best way to eat them is freeze them. You will eat less at a time when they are frozen. i love the red grapes, they are the sweetest.
Those look pretty damn chicken-like. Yum.
I love the Gardein products! My favourite are the lightly seasoned chick’n breasts. They’re perfect on a salad, in a sandwich, or grilled. The Gardein products hold up really well on the bbq, which is a huge bonus for me.
I need to find those lightly seasoned ones!
Grapes are super cheap right now where I am, so I don’t mind going overboard with them. When I’m feeling particularly snacky, they’re my go-to snack so I don’t reach for other (non-healthy) items.
I’ve recently been eating more vegetarian – after reading so many news articles about sickness you can get from different meats (like pork) and watching movies and TV shows (Food Inc. or any Jamie Oliver show), I just prefer putting cleaner things into my body. I think I’ve tried those chicken breasts … not the Tuscan ones, but a different kind. They weren’t bad!

When I say “overboard” with grapes I’m not exaggerating though. Like, for real – Costco sized container gone in two days, all me.
i rarely eat red meat too but i don’t know what i’d do without my chicken. i could probably eat it every night if i had the option!
