Plant Basics - Hearty Plant Protein - Unflavored Crumbles, 8 oz, Made from Peas, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Low Fat, Low Sodium, Vegan, Meat Substitute

I just received my package of Hearty Plant Protein yesterday (Fri., Nov. 15, 2024).I'm automatically rating this 5 Stars because of the simple fact that I've finally found a meat substitute. IF IT'S NOT TO MY LIKING, I'LL COME BACK TO CHANGE MY STAR RATINGIt has easy to follow instructions.My body has been rejecting beef, so as of this day, I haven't eaten certain beef in months and ground beef I haven't eaten in years. They keep recalling beef therefore it's not trustworthy to me, so, as long as I can help it, I'm not putting that stuff in my body.I then switched to ground turkey. Sometimes ground turkey seems to be ok mostly, while a few times I've eaten ground turkey, it makes me want to vomit.I've also tried ground chicken before, but I didn't like it. The texture for me was a bit tough.I don't know what's wrong. I don't know if it's just me or is it just the turkey or even if it's actually real ground turkey...I don't know....What am I doing wrong?! All I can say is, I'M TRYING!!! I'm trying to eat the right foods and make the right choices. I haven't made good choices in years with what I put in my body, but recently I've been forced to choose the right foods due to my body rejecting a ton of foods, especially processed foods. I know I know, I had became lazy for a minute, but that's over now, because now I HAVE TO eat all natural, home grown foods if I'm going to eat anything, otherwise I'll be literally screaming in pain.Anyway, I opened up my package because I was excited. This bag is HUGE! I purchased the bundle. I don't know why I thought that if I got the bundle, that I'd get 2 packs of these Hearty Plant Protein Crumbles, the second pk was just the beef flavoring. I think the bundle was misleading. Idk how I'll feel about beef flavor. It's been years since I've had any beef flavored foods.It's affordable, the price was great!!!!I haven't tried it out yet, but I can't wait to try it out.I read a comment that said, it tastes exactly like chicken and you can't even tell it's plant based, so I'm thinking PERFECT!!!The first thing I want to try out, with my plant based crumbles, is tacos...oh I just have to do the taco test. The tacos they had in the picture that was made with these crumbles looked mouthwateringly delicious.

Love this pea protein. Makes great alternative for meat. Taste is neutral so you can add your own spices. I use it in place of ground beef, to make Tacos, chili and a lot more. Texture is soft, value is good and high in protein.

As a vegan/whole food plant based, I appreciated the added protein that these provide. The hydrate quickly, absorb whatever flavor you add, bulk up not only protein but also satiety, and add a crumbled meat-like texture that goes beautifully in many dishes like tacos, chili, stir fry, soups, etc. Even though this is rather expensive, it's still healthier and cheaper than meat and it doesn't take a lot to enhance a meal.

I got to try Pea protein for the first time. Surprisingly, it was yummy. I made spaghetti and “ground beef”! Since it is unflavored, you have to make sure you season it really to your liking. I give it a 9/10

I bought this product in the effort to decrease my meat consumption but am still wavering on whether I will purchase again. The texture is a bit 'gummy' and there is no way to really crisp/firm it up. Generally flavorless which is helpful as you can add your own spices to go with any recipe. Overall not bad.

The media could not be loaded. This is by far the best tasting plant base crumble. Great substitution for taco meat.

easy to use. good shelf life. perfect for camping. fast. adds a nice flavor. have used this in tacos, sloppy joes, spaghetti, and tikki masala sauce. people have not discerned it is plant based

I was very intrigued to try these plant based, shelf-stable meat crumbles. With only one ingredient, these were good without flavoring added. The first time I made burritos with them and man, they were so good! They are quick and easy to use and give you a good amount of protein per serving. Will be buying them again. Love how you can just add them to any traditional dish with meat crumbles.
