Protein from the Garden
Here is a product line you might have overlooked--Gardein. Sometimes these delicious alternatives to meat as a protein source are on the higher shelves with the frozen vegetarian entrees or with the refrigerated fresh vegetarian selections.
The varieties are really inventive—beefless tips, buffalo wings (these are really hot), bbq pulled shreds, Tuscan breasts, chick’n filets, Thai Trio—to name only a few. Gardein is a savory blend of nutritious vegetable and grain ingredients prepared and slow-cooked to have the authentic taste, texture and nutrition of premium lean meat.
Available in individual serving sizes or entrée portions. Definitely worth looking for and asking for.
