1. Wholesome Foods Imitation Meat

Wholesome Foods Imitation Meat is gluten free and keto friendly.  $24.95

Monet says: “So the beefless strips are bomb when you marinate them and make a beefless broccoli and rice . I love the texture of the beefless ones . I wasn’t too impressed with the fake chicken how ever I determined to not give up and update y’all on the taste and texture”

2. Field Roast Grain Meat

Field Roast Grain Meat is made from grains with squash, apples, mushrooms and wheat gluten.

One user says: “This was pretty good although I overcooked it. Tasted like meat loaf.”

3. Orrington Farms Broth Base & Seasoning

Orrington Farms Broth Base & Seasoning is gluten free. $8.94.

Eric says: “I actually can’t tell the difference between this and real chicken stock. I use this to make vegan chicken tortilla soup. My girlfriend is Mexican and eats meat. She likes my tortilla soup it made with this stock. I split the recipe at the end and add chicken to one portion and no chicken to another. My girlfriend’s daughter is a chef at a local high highfalutin restaurant. Her daughter does not realize that I do not use real chicken stock in my tortilla soup. She loves the recipe I make and told me not to change a thing. I always have to make more tortilla soup than my girlfriend and I can eat because when the rest of the family finds out I made it they always want some. What would make this 5 stars for me? Less sodium. It is what it is.”

3. Gardein Turkey Cutlets

Gardein Turkey Cutlets are made with soy and wheat. 22 grams of protein per serving. $3.93

One user says: “Really yummy. I made a basic red onion gravy with vegan butter and veggie stock and added these gravy packets in and it was really good. I also made mashed potatoes so we needed more gravy.”

4. Lightlife White Bean & Kale Veggie Deli Slices

For your pot-dinner sandwich needs: Lightlife White Bean & Kale Veggie Deli Slices are Non-GMO. $3.69.

Mary Says: “I love this stuff. It doesn’t taste like meat, but it’s really good. It kind of tastes like… ravioli filling? I put it in wraps with veggies, vegan mayo and dijon. It just has a really nice flavor. Removed one star because it doesn’t separate nicely. You kind of have to peel the slices off each other and it’s pretty much impossible not to rip them apart. I use a knife to separate them and that’s easier. It would almost be better if this came as a block and not sliced. Regardless, I like it a lot.”

5. Tofurky Bulk Smoky Maple Tempeh Bacon

I’d love to see some products from them without soy. Not sure the texture can be there though and texture is huge to me, as well as taste of course.”

8. Saucy Lips Handcrafted Gourmet Sauce 

Saucy Lips Handcrafted Gourmet Sauce is sugar free, nut free, gluten free, and paleo. $16.99.

LC says: “Super tasty dressing. Low calorie and made from healthy (and few) ingredients.”

One user says: “It has a slightly odd flavor, not garlicly, more ginger flavoured. Its ok, but its not going to replace your A1. Similar to heinz steak sauce.”
