Popsugar Health & Fitness Trader Joe's Best Meatless Products From Trader Joe's The Meatballs That Fooled My Meat-Loving Husband and 12 Other Must-Try Trader Joe's Vegan Products 20 December 2018 by Jenny Sugar Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar I haven't eaten meat since I was 13 (almost 30 years!), not only because I want to live a more compassionate life and do good for the environment, but also selfishly, because I feel amazing when I eat a plant-based diet. Of course, I want my husband to reap the same benefits, so I try to get him to go meatless most nights of the week, and with these Trader Joe's products, it's a cinch. No joke — I served him Trader Joe's Meatless Meatballs without telling him, and he said, "You didn't have to buy me meat, I know how you feel about it." I just smiled and told him I loved him, then later posted a video of him enjoying his dinner on Facebook. He saw the video an hour later and yelled, "What else have you been lying to me about?!" Moral of the story: if your goal is to eat a more plant-based diet, buy those meatless meatballs! And while you're cruising the aisles of your local Trader Joe's, pick up these 12 other meatless products. 1 Hi-Protein Veggie Burger Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar Made with pea protein, this veggie burger offers 26 grams of protein! Serve it in a bun, cut up in a wrap, or on a salad. 1 / 13 2 Meatless Breakfast Patties Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar For your breakfast sausage cravings, each savory patty is 80 calories and offers seven grams of protein. 2 / 13 3 Chickenless Crispy Tenders Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar I actually like these better than other brands like Gardein or Dr. Praeger's. Eat these tenders alone, or add them to burritos or stir-fries. 3 / 13 4 Chicken-Less Mandarin Orange Morsels Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar Just sauté the chicken-less bites, add the sauce, and serve with rice and steamed broccoli for an amazing dinner. 4 / 13 5 Quinoa Cowboy Veggie Burger Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar Slightly spicy black, these bean and corn veggie burgers are great served inside a bun or chopped up in a burrito. 5 / 13 6 Beef-Less Ground Beef Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar Use this beef-less ground beef for lasagna, meat sauces, tacos, or as shown in the photo, in stuffed peppers. 6 / 13 7 Italian Sausage-Less Sausage Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar Great flavour and texture, use this in any recipe you'd use meat sausage. I like to sauté slices with red peppers and serve with pasta. 7 / 13 8 Soy Chorizo Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar Add this to wraps, serve with roasted root veggies and rice, or add to chili or soups. 8 / 13 9 Yellow Jackfruit Curry With Jasmine Rice Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar This prepared jackfruit is great for a quick meal. If you've never tried jackfruit, it has a consistency like shredded chicken. 9 / 13 10 Canned Green Jackfruit Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar Drain a can of jackfruit, cut it in small pieces, and cook it in Trader Joe's BBQ sauce for "pulled pork" sandwiches or tacos. It's another recipe that floored my meat-eating husband. 10 / 13 11 Jackfruit Cakes Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar Crabless cakes made from jackfruit can be eaten as an appetizer or served as a main dish. 11 / 13 12 Breaded Turkey-Less Stuffed Roast With Gravy Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar It's not just for Thanksgiving! 12 / 13 13 Meatless Meatballs Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Jenny Sugar These are great cooked in tomato sauce served over pasta, with zoodles, or in buns. Six pieces offers 14 grams of protein. 13 / 13 Trader Joe'sVeganHealthy LivingVegetarian
