Review brought to you by Mom’s Gone Bronson!
Kathy’s Freebies & Savings is excited to be helping out with this giveaway. I’ve never actually heard of the brand of Gardein before. This is my first time hearing about it and everything looks delicious. Make sure to enter below for your chance to win. Good luck to all.
My husband and I are not strict vegetarians but we would prefer not to eat meat rather than eating too much of it and so we tend to stick with many different meat-free alternatives and recently came across a company called Gardein.
Garden + Protein gives Gardein its unique name and their products give you a unique taste of meatless products that EASILY replace any meal you might have considered irreplaceable when using a meat free option!
This past week, the folks over at Gardein were gracious enough to send over a few coupons for some free products so that I could share with you my thoughts on what they had to offer and I had a hard time trying to choose what to share with you all! Eventually I went along with BBQ Skewers, Tuscan Breasts and Herb Dijon Breasts and I am happy to say I was not disappointed with the products I chose!
I really do love a good meat alternative and so I was quite excited to try these and dipped in to the Tuscan Breasts first of all! I whipped up a batch of rice, lightly fried the Tuscan Breasts and added the sauce as recommended! I served the breast simply on top of the rice and VOILA! A quick, no-nonsense light meal!
The breast was tender, tasty and not at all chewy! It did give me the feeling of eating chicken, even though I knew it wasn’t chicken at all I don’t think I would really have noticed if someone else had made it for me – I would have assumed it was chicken! My 16 year old, who LOVES chicken, tried these and thought they were fabulous, too, so they have a lot of potential to become staples in our household for sure!
I next served up the BBQ Skewers and served these, again, on a bed of rice, but with veggies to the side and salad. They were also very delicious and gave me the feeling you might get when eating actual meat skewers and my husband ate them, too with zero complains! They went over very well and I would most definitely pick these up again!
Lastly, I made the Dijon Breasts, which I absolutely adore, but tried cooking differently compared to the first round of breasts that I had cooked, just to see if it might make any sort difference in presentation or taste!
As it turns out, the difference was minimal, the taste was very much the same (as far as the breasts themselves were concerned) and the sauce was delectable! I loved the tangy flavor and could have eaten these all day, which is just as well they came only in a pack of 2 and not a pack of 12!!
I have to say that I am completely blown away by the quality of each one of these products individually and love the line as a whole and Gardein really has made it to the top of my list of wants [and will-buys] for the future! I think they put a lot of thought and effort into their products and the taste factor is just phenomenal! You HAVE to try at least one of everything if you ever get the time!!

I’d love to try the BBQ Skewers.
I would love to try the tuscan breasts
Tuscan Breasts sounds good :D. I would try that.
BBQ Skewers please
I’m already a hugeee fan of Gardein. Great source of protein and it’s tasty unlike a lot of the cardboard like things I’ve tried 😛 I’d love to try the bbq skewers, the tuscan breasts, and the dijon breasts simply because they all looked great and I haven’t tried those ones yet. I already love the mandarin chick’n.
