With plant-based meats more available to us now more than ever, it’s a great (and convenient) time to be vegan! If you’re veg-curious and feeling saddened about having to give up the satisfaction of that rich meaty taste, you are in luck because you definitely don’t have to give up anything! With plant-based meats rising in popularity and being included in almost every major grocery store and most global fast-food chains, vegan meats are becoming accessible to more and more people so that transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle is easier than ever. In most stores and restaurants nowadays, there are a variety of vegan burgers, fish, deli slices, ice cream, cheese, yogurts, milks, etc. - the list goes on and on. The caveat is that sometimes you need to visit a few grocery stores to find all your favorite vegan meats.. This is where Vejii bridges that gap, and I am so excited to share this amazing company with you all! Let's take a look at this Guide to Plant-Based Meats!
Vejii is an online vegan market that ships vegan groceries, protein and sports nutrition products, personal and home care products, vitamins and supplements, and baby products right to your doorstep. What’s even greater is that through their Vejii Express program, they ship out specific products in 1-2 business days. It’s almost like Amazon Prime but specifically for vegans AND they price match and have points discounting feature! (We love saving money!) Their purpose is to “provide a new level of accessibility [so that] more people can adopt this lifestyle and therefore improve their health while taking better care of the planet.” How pure is that! Plant-Based on a Budget is all about it, and I am so excited to share my experience with Vejii Express and my favorite plant-based meats that they offer!
Lightlife: Gimme Lean Sausage, 14 oz:
If you enjoy a sausage-flavored, protein-rich breakfast, this sausage is for you! his tube sausage can be crumbled and included in a tofu scramble or even made into patties to have on the side of your favorite breakfast recipe.
Beyond Meat: Beyond Burger, 8 oz:
These burgers are absolutely spectacular! At $5.98 for two 4 oz patties, these burgers check off every category in my book and would be very convincing and enjoyable for a non-vegan family/friend.
Gardein Fishless Fillets, 10.1 oz
If you’re missing the taste of fish, you are going to love these fishless fillets! Each pack includes six fillets and you can cook these straight from the freezer!
Tofurky: Oven Roasted Deli Slices, 5.5 oz
There is nothing more convenient than making a quick sandwich for lunch! These deli slices are perfect for that quick morning lunch prep before work or even just an easy weekend lunch!
Light Life: Smart Dogs Jumbo, 13.5 oz
So convincing! Definitely a top favorite for the most accurate portrayal of the traditional hot dog.
Beyond Meat: Beyond Sausage Brat Original, 14 oz
These sausages are something special! At first glance, they look very raw like your non-vegan sausage, and once cooked, come out incredibly flavorful!
Beyond Meat: Beyond Beef Plant-Based Ground, 16 oz.
I cannot say enough about this product. It is easily my favorite plant-based meat on the market to date. There is a unique flavoring to it that honestly can be enjoyed without any added seasonings in my books!
Beyond these 8 products reviewed above, there are countless more options out there! It’s amazing to think that just a few years ago, the closest thing to a plant-based meat was something super creative like a massive vegan steak made from mushrooms or savory vegan wings made from cauliflower. Shopping for vegan products was limited to the basics (rice, beans, fresh veggies, fruits, etc.) only and it was unheard of to have a “bleeding” vegan meat product like the Impossible Meats. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that of course - it’s just nice to have something easily accessible that hits closer to home looks-wise and to not have to creatively work so hard to simulate an old traditional recipe if you weren’t raised on a plant-based diet. Plus, having it shipped to your front door with a company such as Vejii makes it that much easier for old and new vegans alike to satisfy a burger craving!
I hope this review of some of my favorite plant-based meats entices you to give them a try! If you don’t care for some of these above, that’s okay! Most companies are working to improve their product and come out with more variety, flavors, and different formulas as you read this so there will be more options to come to a physical store (or online store) near you soon! Another awesome concept is that they already rank very similarly price-wise to their non-vegan counterparts and as the demand increases and more and more people show interest in vegan products, the price will only become more reasonable and affordable for more and more people. Thanks to companies such as Vejii making these products more convenient and accessible, the chances of this happening sooner rather than later is more possible than ever.
