Whether you're vegan, vegetarian or just eating less meat, flavored plant-based proteins are an excellent addition to your diet. Protein is an essential component of healthy nutrition, but it can be challenging to get enough if you do not eat meat, eggs or dairy products.
Food preferences and variety can also be a barrier for some when converting to a plant-based diet. Flavored plant-based proteins that mimic the taste of chicken, beef, sausage, chorizo, bacon or taco meat make it easier to segue into a plant-based lifestyle, providing a world of flavor without sacrificing nutrition.
What is Flavored Plant-Based Protein Made From?
Most flavored plant-based protein products are made from textured soy or vegetable protein. The products are generally sold dehydrated and will gain bulk, texture and weight when used in recipes like tacos, soups, stews and more.
Depending on the recipe, many people are hard-pressed to tell the difference between flavored plant-based protein and animal products. The texture, mouthfeel and flavor can be quite similar.
How to Use Flavored Plant-Based Protein
Though you can purchase unflavored plant-based protein, many people like flavored products because they do not have to be seasoned and are ready to add to their favorite dishes.
For example, Harmony House Beef-Flavored Bits are excellent in tacos, burritos, chili or spaghetti with meat sauce. Beef Flavored Bits can even be added to ground beef to extend the recipe and feed more people - a perfect solution for large families on a budget.
Chorizo Flavored Crumbles can be added to soups and stews to thicken the stock and add a punch of flavor, and Bacon Flavored Bits add a delicious crispy crunch to salads.
