Great taste test. I hadn't tried a few of those yet. Right now, Morningstar Farms and Boca are top on my list. But, now I want to try Alpha. I'm not a fan of Gardein because the texture feels battered instead of breaded - so not crispy enough. Thanks!

I’ve heard Nuggs was created and owned by a teenager. More power to them. To be honest, I hardly ever buy processed foods, so I don’t really eat nuggets. But I’m happy they are there to help people transition to a vegan lifestyle.

I'm glad you found joy in eating them. I thought they were terrible. I'm an omnivore, and if Nowadays was trying to replicate real chicken nuggets, they 100% failed miserably. Imagine a sponge soaked in chicken broth and covered in a mealy corn-flavored breading. THAT'S the Nowadays nugget. IMO, it's not even worth spending the money to try it. Eat Impossible nuggets instead.

Personally as someone who has just begun their vegan journey and a nugget feen I absolutely love the 365 brand.I feel like they resemble chicken more and get crispy without drying unlike the gardein. Also they are cheaper in my area which really helps. Lastly I feel like Nuggs are so over hyped/expensive and aren’t even worth the price. If I’m going to spend that much money I would rather buy Atlas Monroe 10 out of 10!! I know it’s not a nugget but their fried chicken is 🔥🔥. Thank you guys for doing videos like this honestly saves my wallet.

Found your channel four days ago and have watched 10 of your videos! Loving all of them. My question. Only one of the nuggets was without wheat. Most all your grocery hauls are all with wheat. I can have wheat but need to limit it. Do you have a few favorite prepackaged snacks and meals that are wheat-free? Seems like vegan = gluten.

@MakeItDairyFree

3 жыл бұрын

There are so many snacks that are great and still GF and a vegan diet can be high in vegan but there's plenty of vegan and gluten free recipes too. Snack idea -- any produce - peanut butter and hummus for dips. Aldi has some great GF snacks like cookies, thin crisps, most chips are GF, energy bites or granola bars, etc

Try the Morningstar nuggets with Iron Chef brand General Tso sauce if you can get it. Something about the flavors of each that just go perfect together. You gotta get the Iron Chef brand though, as other brands I've tried just don't taste the same. Serve it with rice and vegetables and it tastes just like real General Tso's chicken you'd get from a chinese restaurant imo. You can get it at Meijer if you have one near you.
