Tempeh (Smoky Bacon)

For a more convincing #veganbacon, I would probably suggest Lightlife’s Smart Bacon… but if you like #tempeh and don’t much care about “realism,” this is an excellent option! #tempehlover These thin, flavorful slices of tempeh have a savory, #smoked taste. They’re kind of high in sodium but also offer a good amount of #protein and fiber, so I’d consider them a fairly #healthy choice overall. They’re a filling, satisfying, and less-processed addition to sandwiches and salads! The crumbly nature of tempeh makes it a bit challenging to extract the strips from the package for heating, but otherwise, they’re easy to work with. I’ve prepared something similar from scratch in the past but certainly appreciate the convenience of ready-made. #groceryoutletfinds

I highly recommend this product, not only because it is super tasty but also because it has very good macros: 12g Protein, 4g Fiber and only 3g Fat per serving. Unfortunately it is not easy to find in the groceries.

Although this doesn’t have any resemblance of taste and texture of bacon, it’s tasty in its own right, and a great alternative. They’re conveniently sliced into thin stripes, and taste really good fried and browned in a little oil on both sides, I’ve been enjoying this as a breakfast sandwich with Just Egg (2nd photo). It’s also a chockfull of nutrients…protein, fiber, iron, and potassium, just to name a few.

First time trying tempeh! I’m glad I got a flavoured kind, cause I was pleasantly surprised by the smoky flavour … tasted almost like bacon. Kids liked it, too. A lot of the pieces crumbled apart, but it still got eaten up.

Taste was pretty good. Definitely have to get it nice and crispy to taste good. Had some fall apart on me quite easily. Was good on a bagel with cream cheese and tomato.
