I recently used Morning Star Crumbles as a meat substitute. I am usually skeptical of food substitutes and anything with chemicals in the ingredients that I am not 100% sure of...but this yummy treat has proven its worth.
I am neither a vegetarian nor a vegan, but I am kosher, which poses a few pieces of information you should understand before reading on:
I am neither a vegetarian nor a vegan, but I am kosher, which poses a few pieces of information you should understand before reading on:
- I don't mix meat and milk (no chicken parm, no cheese steak, no meat on my nachos, no cheeseburgers)
- Kosher meat is more expensive so I don't eat it often
- I live with non-kosher roommates so it's easier to stay vegetarian most of the time and not worry about the fuss of keeping everything separate
With that said, a colleague of mine recommended using Morning Star Crumbles because I recently mentioned I was making my amazing friend Ali's "Mexican Lasagna", which she grabbed off Pinterest last year for the Superbowl, which I then commissioned her to make for my birthday.

WELL- let's just say that Morning Star Crumbles (along with the chick 'n nuggets) has changed my life. Here's why you have GOT TO TRY IT:
- VERY flavorful
- NOT too expensive
- Kosher Certification
- HIGH in protein (NUTRITION FACTS HERE)
- Can be used with dairy since it's not REAL MEAT!
- Low in calories per serving (something like 80 per half cup)
- 75% less fat than real meat crumbles
- Available in almost all supermarkets (I've bought/seen it at Target, Wegmans, Shoprite Acme and Superfresh...but not whole foods...booo!).
- Get it fast...I'm finding that it is the only morning star product that quickly sells out!
