Review: Boca Original Chik'n Veggie Patties

I mentioned in my last Boca review that I had stayed away from Boca products on the blog for quite some time and I wasn't quite sure why.  Since I'm trying to work more of their products in to the rotation, today's review hits on one of their core products with my review of this box of Boca Original Chik'n Veggie Patties that I picked up on sale at Kroger for $3.00.  Each box contains four patties and each patty is 71 grams with 140 calories and eleven grams of protein.  Each patty is also worth four points on the Weight Watchers PointsPlus scale if you are into that type of thing.

Review: MorningStar Farms Mediterranean Chickpea Veggie Burgers

I've eaten my fair share of MorningStar Farms products for the blog, but the funny thing is that I rarely think to purchase them when I am at the store, so I don't eat them at all except when I do reviews. I guess I don't get them often because they are at the opposite end of the freezer case (let's call it the Netherworld) from where I usually frequent. Recently, I just happened to be strolling thought the Netherworld and I glanced in and saw the "NEW" label on these MorningStar Farms Mediterranean Chickpea Veggie Burgers and being that I'm a sucker for new stuff, I hurriedly reached in and grabbed a box. This box set me back $2.99 at Kroger and each box contains four frozen veggie burgers. Each burger is 2.36 ounces and has 110 calories with 10 grams of protein.

Review: WholeSoy & Co. Blueberry Soy Yogurt

In my first WholeSoy & Co. review of their soy yogurt, I was struck by how strange the whole idea and taste of soy yogurt was.  Still, I gave it a positive review because while I fully knew it was weird, it was at least edible.  So, heading into this second review of one of their products with this WholeSoy & Co. Blueberry Soy Yogurt, I was expecting more oddness, but I was at least willing to give it a chance.  Being that blueberries have got to be my favorite type of fruit flavoring for yogurts, I was expecting a little bit more out of this review than I was out of the last review.  Like the last one, I picked this up at Kroger for $1.00 and it is six ounces with 150 calories and six grams of protein.  It's also dairy free, gluten free, organic and blah, blah, blah.

Review: WholeSoy & Co. Raspberry Soy Yogurt

If you stop and think about it, the amount of uses that people find for soy beans is truly amazing.  Meat fillers, veggie products, etc.  I've been spending a lot of time in the organic section at my store recently for some reason and when I was going through looking at the yogurt products, I encountered this WholeSoy & Co. Raspberry Soy Yogurt.  Soy yogurt?  Well, this was a first for me.  Upon further examination,  I found out that not only was this a soy yogurt, but it was also a yogurt that was dairy free.  Dairy free yogurt?  Now I've heard it all.  My continuing education notwithstanding, the organic food section in question was located at my local Kroger where I picked up this six ounce single serving cup of yogurt on sale for $1.00.  It's 170 calories and has six grams of protein.  To continue it's uniqueness, it's also gluten free, vegan and a Non-GMO product.

Review: MorningStar Farms Chik'n Strips Meal Starters

It's been a bit since I've either eaten or reviewed a MorningStar Farms product.  Recently, I had some tortilla wraps in my refrigerator that I had to use prior to the expiration date, so I figured that grabbing one of the bags of MorningStar Farms Chik'n Strips Meal Starters that I had in my refrigerator would be the perfect way to come up with a base starter for the filling in my wraps that I was making.  I picked this one up on sale at Marsh for $3.00 and it's an eight ounce package proclaiming it has roughly 2.5 servings of these veggie "Chick'n" strips.  Each serving has 140 calories and a whopping 23 grams of protein.  It's also cholesterol free, so this really is a fairly healthy product and as I read more and more of the packaging, I was exceptionally surprised by that.
