~ This Instead of That ~

Healthier options for some of your favorite “naughty” foods., and….. they are surprisingly yummy!

• Mayo - I used to be known as a condiment queen. I LOVED my condiments. So, when I tell you that “Follow Your Heart”’s Vegenaise is a rock star of an alternative for typical mayonnaise, you’ve got to know I’m not misleading you! What’s good about it? Amazing, creamy taste (just like mayo) but much lower saturated fat & cholesterol and no additives or preservatives. That’s why you can find it in the refrigerated sections of your food markets. Another awesome fact, No GMO’s!

• Cow Burger - In India, they consider the cow to be sacred. I too have an infinite love of cows so…. I am passionate about educating people on how to go cruelty free with food options. I am also a serious foodie! No cows are killed with these two incredible burger options. Beyond Beef and Impossible Burger. What do I like about them? They taste like the real thing.

  • Beyond Beef - For a burger substitute, this was my first “meat” flavored substitution. In this I mean that it does not taste like a “veggie burger”. I personally find that the flavor has a hint of “flamed broiled” even when pan fried. It has a firmer texture then typical “cow” burger but is similar in flavor to a “Burger King” burger due to it’s hint of “flame broiled”.

  • Impossible Burger - For burger substitution, this is my absolute favorite. It literally has a similar texture, flavor and mouth feel as typical burgers. The only downside I can think of is that if you like a “raw” burger, it’s really not an option as you do have to cook these thoroughly. However, even cooked through, they maintain a nice texture so long as you don’t over cook them.
