Urban Accents Sloppy Joe Plant Based Meatless Mix – Gluten Free Plant Based Protein & Seasoning Blend, 3-pack

This is a great meat substitute and I am by no means vegan or vegetarian I am however gluten free. Finding a good travel safe food I went with a plant based dehydrated option so I could still get some needed nutrients but not worry about hunting for edible food on a busy trip. With that said I ate some simply poured into a lil microwave kid safe bowl with equal parts water let it sit for a min and heated it up in the microwave for a few mins and tossed it over some rice it has its own decent flavor that I enjoy but I adding fresh fruits and veggies to make it a more complete flavor and meal is phenomenal take some avocado, lettuce lil onion and such and if a cheese fan super good with cream cheese.Welp I had some left thankfully after my trip and did the water bowl microwave thing then tossed it in a pan with some minced garlic, diced onions and mozzarella cheese melted with some sams club Italian seasoning grinder blend and poured some of my fav red pasta sauce and mixed it /heated and poured over some gf noodles and had myself a fantastic spaghetti.The "meat" is very close to a finely ground beef but still a little less dense I would say the texture lands between ground poultry and beef, or rather identical to ground venison/pork meat

I had gotten lax about my gluten free diet (I have anti-gliadin antibodies), and finally realized it was affecting my neurologic health more than I realized. Unfortunately many of the vegan protein products have gluten in them, these don't. The flavors are good but not quite flavorful enough for my taste, so I add some spices. I add caramelized onions and coconut oil to all three flavors. Then garlic, onion powder, smokey paprika, diced tomatoes and cumin to the taco flavor and the same for the sloppy joe flavor minus cumin. Also, onion powder, ketchup and mustard to the Korean BBQ. If they aren't flavorful enough for you, just play around a little, they are actually a very good start.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered this product based off of the reviews saying it tasted good. Not only was it pleasant tasting, it was easy to prepare. My review will focus on taste, preparation, and convenience.Taste: As I’ve stated, it has a pleasant taste. I have also been plant based for several years. Someone interested in becoming plant based will notice the difference from meat; however, it will not be so unbearable. They will still feel satiated.Preparation: From start to finish, it only took 12-minutes. The package gives preparation recommendations. For example, the Korean BBQ suggested adding onions and soy sauce. I added carrots and garlic powder and soy sauce. I served mine on flour tortillas. You can also use lettuce wraps.Convenience: On a scale of 1-10, I rate this a 10. If you’re tried from work and want a healthy option that does not take a lot of times or require ingredients you may not have, this is definitely the way to go.

Preparing per instructions is quick but gets you a mushy, lightly flavored but not so appealing dish. You can do better. I bought this for the low-calorie count, I am not vegan or vegetarian.Flavor: replace the water with beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke.Texture: After the "meat" absorbs the hot broth you have the equivalent of soggy Grape Nuts, here is the fix: put the "meat" on a silicone baking mat covered cookie sheet. roast/broil the meat to lower the amount of water in it. (I like mine on the edge of burnt). Add in some tomato paste, maybe a tiny bit of water if it is hard to combine. Without the tomato paste you just a bunch of tiny rolling balls running wild everywhere. Note: I prepare this and use it for lunches all week, if you are doing the onion/peppers and not eating it all right away, then do the veggies separate and keep them in a separate container until you plate (or bun) them. Total calories mix total 360, broth +20, tomato paste 1/2 can 3oz +70 = 450 total. About 1/3 the calories of ground beef.Cons: This makes me gassy. I don't know how vegans can stand to be in the same room with each other.

I’m not a vegetarian, but these mixes were top notch! The Korean BBQ made the most delicious lettuce wraps. The sloppy Joe’s were delectable on a brioche bun. I added black beans and corn to the Street taco mix and it took it to the next level. It made about 12 to 15 tacos, by the way.I found this brand at my local Walmart, and it had a mix called, “Morning Wrap” with the most delicious garlic, sage, and savory flavors. They are sold out, but that one is my favorite. If you are a so-so, cook, like myself, this will take your cooking to the next level. Highly recommended!

Not exactly what I was expecting. I went back to plant based meat.

This plant-based product tastes just like regular sloppy joe.. you add your own onion, peppers and ketchup. I added extra onions, peppers and ketchup. also I used spicy ketchup instead of regular. Delicious!

I wanted to really like this product. I've been vegan for 8 years and am always looking to add variety and, mostly, convenience to my mealtimes. This product has so many great reviews. People, people, what did you eat? These were bland and unimaginative. The sloppy joe and taco require you to chop up an onion and green pepper. The Korean BBQ just takes an onion. The sloppy joe mix had heat but not much else. The ketchup was doing the real heavy lifting there. I added fresh garlic and a splash of cider vinegar to wake it up. The Korean BBQ has the soy or tamari doing the heavy lift. I added fresh garlic and ginger. The taco mix? I don't know what streets sell these tacos, but I would cross that street and go to another stand. I had to raid the pantry for herbs and spices just to make it taste like anything worth eating. Next time I will just buy plain TVP and make my own like I ususally do. Much more cost effective and way, way, way more delicious.
