When I was vegan I tried so hard to convince myself to like tempeh. I tried all kinds of style and I don’t like it lol 

Lol I like it but it is a strange food, I can understand that better than when people say they don’t like tofu. But it’s supposed to be easier on digestion than tofu  

Yea it’s fermented through white fungi. Taste nutty with some bitterness to it. From what I read people said it tasted like meat lol have you tried quorn meatless pieces? Not their chicken nuggets one. These meatless blocks taste kinda like chicken breast when you cook with them. They saved me when I was vegan 

I just eat meat— a small portion just once in a while.  

Supergainz I do like quorn nuggets though I haven’t had those in a while. I think the store is more focused on the newer nugget brands now like impossible nuggets, those are good too  

Also lol tempeh does not taste like meat 😁 

Kenna everyone has different preferences and thoughts, I have tried meat and tried being vegan and vegetarian and I currently prefer plant foods with some occasional animal foods, mostly fish and free range eggs. Glad you found what works for you  

Oh super I misread your post. I do like the nuggets. But yes I have also tried the quorn chik ‘n breasts too. I used to make Cajun chicken pasta with them, it might be time to pull out that recipe again 

I personally don’t mind vegetarian meat substitutes overall. It’s the vegan cheese that used to bug me… 😛 but some brands have started making tasty vegan cheese too more recently 

Yea I still eat the myco proteins from time to time. They soak up flavor pretty good 

I love tempeh. Can you share the recipe? 

Beautiful combination 

I’ll have to look for those again, super, I haven’t seen them lately but think maybe they are in a different aisle than the impossible nuggets  

Jil writer it’s mostly braggs coconut aminos and a little dill spice mix  

Thanks ocean girl, it was good and low calorie as well  

💚💚 

Have you tried beyond burgers? I use it to make a fake burrito with brown rice and black beans Pico de gallo and low carb low cal tortilla. It was really good. Only problem i ever had, and was the tastiest, was i seasoned the burgers heavily with johnnys seasoning on both sides like a crust. Was so yummy but the sodium was so high too and i paid for that for a couple days with water retention. Lesson learned. Im a terrible cook so all of you who make these yummy looking things I’m so envious 

Sweet potato 🍠 💜💜 to you too  

Year of health yes I love beyond burgers and your burrito sounds good!  

wow! this looks great! I have all the ingredients. I'll make it tonight!
