These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things: Vegan Chicken Part 5

    These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things: Vegan Chicken Part 5

By: Megan

 This post is going to be a variety of different types of chicken. There are not really any products to compare them to because they are stand-alone vegan products. I figured they were important to do a review on because they are very good options for vegans and vegetarians. 

1. Gardein Chick'n Sliders

    The Gardein Chick'n Sliders are a good start to a meal or a small snack. They only have 180 calories per slider, so I would not say that is enough for a meal, but paired with chips, and some fruit and veggies it could be a good meal. These sliders have 10 grams of protein, which is a surprisingly large amount,  and 270 milligrams of sodium. These sliders have good flavor and are a good premade meal option. The sliders are approximately $4 and I have found them at Walmart and Target.

2. Gardein Chick'n Florentino

    The Gardein Chick'n Florentino is not my favorite thing. The chicken in it has a weird flavor and texture and I do not like the overall dish. The sauce with noodles was probably the best thing about it. This is a premade meal and basically, the only thing that needs to be done is warming it up. This meal has only two servings and 330 calories, 810 milligrams of sodium, and 16 grams of protein. I have seen this cost anywhere from $6-$8, which is a bit pricey in my opinion.  have been able to find these at Kroger. Personally, I have made recipes similar to this that are cheaper and better than this.

3. MorningStar Farms Buffalo Wings

    The MorningStar Farms Buffalo Wings are one of my recent favorite vegan chicken products. They are so good and remind me a lot of Wendy's chicken nuggets. They are not too spicy and have a great texture. I never had chicken wings before I went vegan ( I know I'm lame), so I have no clue if they are like a chicken wing would be. These wings are about $3.99 per bag of 15 wings. They have 210 calories, 360 milligrams of sodium, and 14 grams of protein per serving. I think this would be a good snack, but would not be enough to make a meal out of. I was able to find these at Walmart. I think these are so good and recommend them to everyone.

4. Emerge Ground Chicken

    I have very mixed feelings about this one. Emerge is the brand of vegan meat produced by the Kroger brand. I have absolutely no clue how ground chicken is supposed to taste like, so I am not sure if I can give a great review. This product is very mushy in my opinion. I used it in a Taco Ring and it was okay, but not the best. Typically, ground chicken is used as a healthy alternative to ground beef. However, since it is all vegan I do not think there is a healthier version. It is pretty much the same macros as ground beef, so I do not get the point of having both, but maybe that is just me. There are approximately 3.5 servings per package. Each serving has 220 calories, 600 milligrams of sodium, and 21 grams of protein. This is only sold at the Kroger stores and is typically $7.99, but I find it on sale all the time. I think this product depends solely on personal opinion, but it is a great option and adds variety to the vegan diet.

Vegan Snacks Part 3: Cookies

Vegan Snacks Part 3: Cookies By: Megan   Cookies are one of my favorite snacks. I definitely have a sweet tooth and love all types of cookies. There are tons of vegan brands of cookies.  1. Oreos Oreos were probably the only reason I thought I could make it as a vegan, to begin with. My motto at the time was "I could survive on Oreos". I am not sure why I thought that was possible, but hey I am here and am still vegan, so something must have worked. The really cool thing about Oreos is every single flavor is accidentally vegan. Even the new Gluten-Free Oreos are vegan, which is an exciting new addition to the growing number of Oreos. 2. Voortman Wafer Cookies I know I am a bit of an old lady for this, but I think wafer cookies are the bomb. There's just something about them that I love. The brand Voortman is the only brand I have come across that has vegan wafer cookies. All of the wafer cookies from this brand that I have seen were vegan including flavors such as Chocola

My Deal With Clearance

My Deal With Clearance By: Megan            Anyone who knows me well knows that I love the clearance section. It does not matter which store I am or if I have ever been there I will find the clearance section. Sometimes I go and there are so many different products and sometimes I go and it is completely empty. However, it does not matter if I have not found anything in clearance all day, I have to go to the section in every single store. I never really started going to the clearance section until I went vegan. I always thought it was just a bunch of expired food that could not be salvaged. After going vegan, the food I wanted to eat got to be very expensive. To get as much food as possible, I started shopping for the sales. Then, I discovered clearance tags. A lot of products such as yogurts, mock meats, and veggies would be on clearance often. I learned what was most often marked down and where I needed to look in the stores on quick trips. Usually, if I find foods I like that are ma

Vegan at Restaurants Part 1: IHOP

   Vegan at Restaurants Part 1: IHOP By: Megan     In this series, I will be discussing vegan options at popular restaurants and will be trying them and giving my thoughts on them. I have always loved IHOP. I was randomly wanting IHOP and told my friend we had to go to IHOP; it was non-negotiable really. IHOP really is not the best place for vegan options. They do not have any vegan waffles or pancakes which is a bummer. I ended up getting a serving of Hashbrowns, potato pancakes, and sourdough toast. I would not say this was the most filling meal, but with not a lot of vegan options in the area, it was a nice change. This meal was very carb-filled and I could have easily gotten a fruit cup instead of one of the potato options, but who doesn't love a whole plate of potatoes?      I will start off with the hashbrowns. They were very good. I mean they are hashbrowns, so they are self-explanatory. Luckily, their hashbrowns are naturally vegan, so I did not have to do any specification
