Don't be a chicken, try plant based!

Hello again!

Today, I'm trying something that I was really surprised to see.

Healthy-ish hot pockets!

So Target had a couple different flavors, and I got them both because... why not? 

The other one doesn't have any sort of meat/protein, so I wanted to try this one first to set the expectations. I have tried plant based chicken a couple times over the last few years and have never been impressed, so I knew going into this that there was a chance I wouldn't like it. That's why I tried this one first.

I've never even heard of this brand to my recollection. So I was excited to give this brand a shot.

Okay so my thoughts on this seriously surprised me. I am actually a big fan. The texture and flavor of the plant based chicken were a lot like chicken, but I liked it. I don't like regular chicken (unless it's fried) mainly because of the specific texture that chicken has. 

And this plant based chicken has the texture of chicken I actually like... it's almost rubbery. I know that sounds gross, but the only time I like chicken that's not fried is when it's in a frozen meal because it's rubbery and tender. I'm weird, I know.

But this plant based chicken tastes a lot like actual chicken with the kind of texture I like. I'm soooo impressed by it. I'm not sure I'd like it if the plant based chicken were by itself, but inside the faux hot pocket, it's super tasty.

And the rosemary and garlic is strong, which is AWESOME! I've been burping garlic all damn day, and as gross as that is, it means there actually is garlic inside, and that makes me happy because I LOVE garlic with every fiber of my being.

The only thing I didn't care for was this sort of gooey texture inside. I assume it's just the sauce, but it was a bit odd. It tasted fine, but added a weird texture that I didn't super care for.

I am so very excited to try the other one, and I will post about it as soon as I do try it.

Even with the gooey bit inside, I give these a solid 8/10 mostly because of how impressed I am by the plant based chicken and just the overall flavor. I highly recommend!!

That's it for this post. Thanks for taking the time to read!!

Bye :)
