GardeinGardrein makes a wide variety of meatless products that I love, like their chipotle black bean burgers and meatless meatballs. My favorite, however, is their "Ultimate Plant-Based Chick’n Tenders" which I tried a few days ago and had they not come out of a bag labeled as "vegan", I would have thought was actual chicken and not chick'n! Best of all, all of Gardein's products are 100% vegan! Aside from just "meats", Gardein offers vegan skillet meals, and I love their "chick’n florentino"!
Also, although I haven't tried them yet myself, Gardein has a line of vegan canned soups! |
LightlifeAnother great company that makes amazing "meats" is Lightlife. Lightlife's products are tasty, organic, and are made by a carbon-neutral company! It seems that they are rapidly expanding their options, so I haven't tried all of them yet, but some of those products include chick'n, deli slices, hot dogs, tempeh, and burgers! Those that I've tried are the smokey tempeh strips that I use as bacon, but they also offer another option for "bacon", burgers, and hot dogs (both regular and jumbo). I haven't tried anything from them that I don't like.

TofurkyI haven't tried many of Tofurky's products (they're not readily available near me), but the one that I have tried was amazing! That was their oven roasted plant-based deli slices, that tasted a lot like turkey! That's only 1 of their 7 different deli slices, and deli slices aren't the only thing that they make. Other products that I can't wait to try are their burgers, grounds, hot dogs, roasts, etc.
What I love about Tofurky is that they are conscious of their environmental impact and care about animals! |
Impossible FoodsImpossible Foods specializes in burgers; specifically, the the Impossible Burger! You can buy it already formed as patties or shape your own. Either way, you add the seasoning that you like best just as you would with animal-based burgers! Although I haven't purchased Impossible Foods from the grocery store, I love having the Impossible burger at Cheesecake Factory and Red Robins!

Beyond MeatBeyond Meat is another company for vegan "meats" that makes a wide variety of products. They have the Beyond burger, sausages, "beef" crumbles, meatballs, and more! I tried a few of their products prior to going vegan, and I really loved them! As a vegetarian at the time, I was nervous that the Beyond Burger that I'd gotten at a fast food restaurant wasn't vegetarian at all, but luckily, it was!
