Plant Provisions Tuscan Veggie Slices
Plant Provisions Tuscan Veggie Slices are a gluten-free, plant-based deli-style option made from roasted red bell peppers, tomato purée, chickpeas, and pea protein, seasoned with basil, garlic, oregano, and sun-dried tomato. They stand out as a great choice for those avoiding gluten, since many classic deli substitutes like Tofurky rely on wheat gluten. Rather than trying to imitate meat, these slices embrace their vegetable-forward ingredients—delivering an authentic, wholesome alternative to traditional deli meat.
Hodo Tofu Veggie Burger
Hodo Tofu Veggie Burgers are made from organic tofu blended with organic carrots, cabbage, onions, dried shiitake mushrooms, and a handful of simple seasonings. Keep in mind—this is a tofu burger, so if you’re expecting the taste or texture of a traditional beef patty, you won’t find it here. But what you will get is a nutrient-dense, satisfying option that’s genuinely delicious. They’re great pan-seared, but really shine on the grill, where they pick up a subtle crisp and smoky depth. Perfect for busy days, these burgers are a convenient, wholesome way to enjoy a plant-based meal without compromising on flavor—or time.
Hodo Foods Thai Curry Nuggets
Hodo Foods Thai Curry Nuggets are ready-to-eat bites made from organic extra-firm tofu, braised in a Thai-inspired curry sauce with lemongrass, turmeric, cayenne, and spices like coriander, cumin, fenugreek, garlic, and chili flakes. They’re convenient for quick meals. The texture is firmer and chewier than plain tofu, reminiscent of frozen-tofu preparations meant to mimic chicken, but the curry flavor is too mild and doesn’t deliver on its promise. For me, it fell short, and I wouldn’t buy them again.
JUST Egg Folded
JUST Egg Folded is a frozen, toaster-ready plant-based egg substitute made from mung bean protein, canola oil, and simple seasonings. It delivers the functionality of a folded egg with zero cholesterol and far less saturated fat, making it a convenient choice for healthier vegan breakfasts. On its own, the flavor doesn’t really mimic eggs, and the texture is denser—more like an over-fried omelet—yet still light enough to hint at egg-like fluffiness. But tucked into a sandwich with whole wheat bread, vegan mayo, tempeh bacon, and tomatoes, it comes surprisingly close to the experience of a classic egg sandwich.
