Good Vegan Versions of Animal Products

Post by _Doc »

I am going to list the best store bought vegan version of animal products that I have found so far. This is for people who maybe like me and still love the taste of meat but, hate killing for it. Or if you want to transits over to veganism/vegetarianism and remove any meat related food. Also, if anyone else has found a delicious store bought food post it here.

"Gardien" has a really good chicken strips. I am not a fan of their beef but, I never liked beef.

The best vegan bacon I have tried so far. It taste a lot like turkey bacon.

My Favorite flavor by them. It tastes close to turkey burgers.

These have some really good cheeses. Melts well.

You can use this just as real eggs. But, it takes a few attempts to get it right. My first attempt it tasted like burnt eggs. After the third time it was good. You can use it for baking haven't tried it that way yet. "Follow Your Heart" also have cheese I haven't tried them yet.

These vegan milks are my favorite. They are not grainy like a few other ones I have tried. My favorite is the chocolate milk it is creamy and chocolaty.
Its a nice feeling when people can agree on something. Don't you agree?

Have you tried beyond meat?

These are more "raw" type meat products (though it looks like they have some meals now), but the texture is substantial and they're really dense protein. Some are also gluten and soy free, which is good for people with allergies. Or just if you want variety in high density protein sources.
For example, their beefy crumble is based on pea protein:

Yes I have tried them but, i am not that big of a fan of them. Also, they are expensive.
