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: Boca Bruschetta Tomato Basil Parmesan Veggie Patties

In the history of this blog, I've touched on several veggie burgers but all of them up to this point have been MorningStar Farms products.  Today will be my first "adventure" into Boca Burgers territory as I take a look at this Boca Bruschetta Tomato Basil Parmesan Veggie Patties that I picked up as a box of four veggie burgers at Kroger for $3.00.  Each patty comes in at 71 grams and has 90 calories with a solid thirteen grams of protein.  It's also only two Weight Watchers points per serving.

Review: Green Giant Garden Ranch Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips

I mentioned in a previous Green Giant chip veggie chip review that it just seemed to me that Green Giant (General Mills) was directly taking a shot at Doritos under the auspice of being a "healthy" chip.  When I saw these new Green Giant Garden Ranch Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips in the store, I once again had the same thought.  If you take a second to think about it, these are basically a direct shot at the Cool Ranch flavor of Doritos.  That's fine as chip companies compete on flavors all the time, but I just find it funny that these are "healthy" while Doritos are junk.  In reality, the are all junk.  Anyway, I got this bag on sale for $2.49 at Kroger and it is 5.0 ounces and contains five servings of about ten chips each.  Each of those ten chip servings are 130 calories as well.

Review: MorningStar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips

I think I've mentioned once or twice over the course of this year that I have happened upon giving up eating meat.  No particular reason for doing it, but I'm just challenging myself to see how long I can last.  So far, so good.  Being that I've given up eating meat, I've been trying to get out and give some meat substitute products a shot and my collection of MorningStar Farms reviews helps me meet those objectives.  Today's review is the MorningStar Farms faux version of the most overrated meat there is.  Yep, I just said it...bacon is OVERRATED.  Don't get me wrong, when I ate meat, I enjoyed bacon, but I think it gets way more love than it deserves.  Regardless, I picked up this box of MorningStar Farms Veggie Bacon Strips on sale at Kroger for $2.99 and each box is 5.25 ounces and contains about twenty (sorry, I didn't count) strips of "bacon" and each strip is 30 calories with a lonely gram of protein.

Review: Green Giant Zesty Cheddar Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips

I mentioned in my last Green Giant review that I had the freaking brand theme song locked in my head.  Fortunately, I've managed to shake that and because it's not rocking my head and driving me crazy anymore, I figured now was as good of a time as any to look at one of Green Giant's original chip flavors with this bag of Green Giant Zesty Cheddar Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips that I picked up on sale at Marsh for the low, low price of $1.00.  Each bag is 5.0 ounces and has five servings per bag.  For those of you keeping score at home, one serving is about ten chips and each of those servings is a 140 calories.
