Vegan frozen prepared foods I've tried
Mar. 1st, 2016 12:48 pmThis post is a work in progress. Mostly for my own reference, but might well be relevant to the interests of others.
Favorites
TaDah Lemony Roasted Garlic Hummus Falafel Wrap
I love these fucking things. They're like two bucks apiece at Central Market, they've got a ton of protein, and they're delicious.
Amy's Bean & Rice Burrito
The filling has a kind of cheesy texture that really works. I eat it with Tofutti sour cream.
Amy's Black Bean Vegetable Enchilada
The sauce on this is frickin' amazing. I put a dollop of Tofutti sour cream on this, too.
Gardein Crispy Chick'n Patties
This is the best meatless burger I've had.
Gardein Chick'n Sliders
Basically the same as the patties, but smaller and complete with buns for the laziest possible meal.
Gardein Mandarin Orange Crispy Chick'n
Little lumps of crack, I swear to god.
Gardein Seven Grain Crispy Tenders
Lots of protein, nice texture.
Sukhi's Samosas & Chutney
These are pricey (7-8 bucks a box) but they're the best non-restaurant-fresh samosas I've ever had.
Shanghai Kitchen Vegetable Spring Rolls With Shiitake Mushrooms
I can't find a link for these. I get them at Central Market; they're super tasty and not as unhealthy as most spring rolls. The sauce they come with is awful, but I like them so much I don't think they need any sauce.
Decent enough
Amy's Chinese Noodles & Veggies in Cashew Cream Sauce
Broccoli gets weird when you freeze it, but other than that this was good. Felt like a really small portion, but maybe I was just hungry.
Amy's Tofu Scramble
Frozen tomato slices are gross, but the hash browns and tofu scramble are both much better than I would expect from a quick-reheat meal.
Amy's Aloo Mattar Wrap
Pretty much what I expected.
Amy's Mattar Tofu
Kinda watery but okay.
Amy's Rice Mac & Cheeze
I wish they did a non-dairy version without the gluten-free noodles, but this actually isn't too bad. Very gluey texture, similar to regular boxed mac-and-cheese.
Daiya Margherita Pizza
I'm not that big on Daiya. Wish the tomato sauce had overpowered the cheese a little more.
Gardein Fishless Filets
These actually have a subtle kind of fishy taste to them. Not sure how they do that. The texture is a little off, though.
Gardein Sweet & Sour Porkless Bites
Not bad. I don't really love the sauce.
Evol Veggie Fajita Burrito
I was surprised at how well the guacamole held up to being frozen and thawed. I don't like peppers and they're pretty discernible in the filling, so I haven't gotten this one again, but it wasn't bad at all.
Sweet Earth Foods Kyoto Burrito
Adzuki beans, edamame, bok choy, spinach, ginger, and mushrooms in a wrap. A little weird, but good, and a solid little chunk of protein.
Tandoor Chef Channa Masala
Stupid high in sodium, so I don't get it often, but it's good.
0/10, would not ingest again
Amy's Thai Red Curry
Yech.
Saffron Road Thai Basil Chili Tofu
I dunno if Thai just doesn't freeze well or what, but both this and the Amy's are inedible.
Simply Balanced Mushroom Miso Meatless Turkey
Doesn't someone put the food in their mouth before they try to sell it? Couldn't anyone at any point in the production of this item have said "yo, anyone notice that this shit is FUCKING AWFUL?" Jesus.
