Vegetarian Options

I’ve been a vegetarian since January 2008.   How the time flies.  Over the past 4 years, I’ve tried my fair share of vegetarian food options.  The good, the bad, the ugly, & the just plain disgusting!  I did however find the most amazing breakfast sausage substitute.  Enter in the BOCA brand.  I live for their stuff– I love so many BOCA products.  The only item from them I don’t really like is their fake burgers.  But we’ll save veggie burgers for another post.

Let’s take a look at Boca Sausage Links.

I was a bit reluctant to try these, to be perfectly honest. I used to love the taste of real sausage when I wasn’t a vegetarian, but something about fake sausage just didn’t sit well with me. After trying another brand’s extremely bland and rubbery breakfast sausage, I told myself I’d never eat them again. But, for some reason when I was in Target these babies just hopped into my cart.

The nutritional facts aren’t bad either:

I don’t know what the 2 links per serving thing about though… I know when I eat them, I have at least 4!  The main reason why I continue to buy and eat these is because of their jam packed  flavor. They are a bit spicy, but nothing too crazy.  Just enough to make them taste delicious!

The ingredient list is a bit lengthy; usually longer than I would like, but the taste of these are just too good to pass up.  I usually pair these links up with scrambled eggs, but I think it might be pretty tasty on a kaiser roll too!  Now that I think about it, I may have to try that out asap!
If you are a vegetarian, have you ever tried fake meat products?
