I was sent a coupon for a free LightLife product. I chose the Lightlife Smart Sausages, Chorizo style, veggie protein sausages to try. And I was very excited to try them because although I try not to have too much ‘fake’ meat, I still need to get protein so I figured why not try it. I was also a bit nervous because a very long time ago I tried fake hot dogs and did not like them at all. I don’t remember the brand or anything but I did not want to revisit that experience.
This experience was much different because I absolutely loved these Light Life Chorizo sausages and will buy the product for sure. I have purchased a different brand in the mean time and it gives me heart burn and it’s not something I could eat solo like I know I can with the Lightlife meatless sausage. The only problem is that I have to drive to Whole Foods Market which is not that close to get it because they don’t carry it anywhere else near us.
We put the sausages into a cast iron pan with a variety of veggies to cook. Delicious mushrooms and red peppers!
It was perfect on top of pasta! With a side of cheesy biscuit bread. Yum!
Have you ever had meatless products (sausage, chicken nuggets, etc.)?
I’ve never tried veggie sausage, I thought it’d be yucky. It sure does look good though, and since you liked it I’m thinking about giving it a try.
I was nervous believe me. My 1st experience with a veggie dog didn’t sit well but this was tasty (or I thought at least). If you try it, let me know what you think. I would use it in a pasta before eating it on it’s own. The Chorizo is spicy though so just an FYI.
Totally on the look out for these now. I have used the tofu noodles (AWESOME!) but not meat products. However, even though I’m in the Seattle area, I’m at least 45 minutes from whole foods
Our grocers carry random products and hubby wants to try these too. We want the flavor without the grease.
