Gardein Barbecue Wings (meatless)

I stopped by Whole Foods and picked up some Sweet and Tangy Barbecue (meatless) Wings by Gardein. Just four of these meatless wings will give you 14g of protein and 120 calories per serving.  The prep time is quick at around 6 minutes.

These browned up nicely in the skillet.  I thawed and then added the sauce at the end which was more than enough to cover all of the meatless wings.  Upon tasting the barbecue sauce it had a similar flavor to Wendy's barbecue sauce.  The sauce had the right amount of sweet, tangy and a little smokey.  The chewy, tender texture of the meatless wings was what I would expect to get in a quality meatless substitute. 

Overall, I will purchase this product again because of the flavor and short prep time.  Gardein has a variety of meatless products.  Go check them out and try one today!

Meatless Sloppy Joes by Gardein

 

Gardein has introduced their All American (meatless) Sloppy Joes.  The packaging advertised "ready in minutes" and "easy."  I grabbed a pack of the meatless sloppy joes, some buns and headed home.  The package suggests to microwave the soy, but you can saute it if you prefer.  I tried the microwave option.  There are two servings in the pack at 190 calories per serving.  As you will see below each serving is packaged separately.  I emptied the soy crumbles and sauce into a microwave safe bowl, stirred and cooked on high for 2 minutes.  Voila!  Stir the mixture again and place on a bun.  Wow that was quick, but do the sloppy joes taste good?  Yes, Gardein got the flavor and texture that you would expect with sloppy joes right.  The sauce is more sweet than tangy and the soy had good texture and flavor.  Too easy!

Gardein Sloppy Joes are $3.99 at my local South Florida Whole Foods.
