As a vegetarian, I find it somewhat challenging to come up with ideas for quick, nutritious meals when I’m in a hurry- or when I really don’t feel like making a complicated meal. My go-to’s when I was pressed for time, were either KD, or something that can be poured from a can and microwaved in less than 3 minutes. Yuck, right? After discovering Yves Veggie Cuisine, I definitely have more nutritious meatless meal options to choose from. Yves Veggie Cuisine is fantastic because their products don’t require a lot of preparation. Most of the products can be heated and served right away, or require very little cooking time.
Yves products are great for vegetarian and vegan diets, or for people who are just trying to eat healthier. You can feel good knowing Yves Veggie Cuisine products provide plant-based protein and offer gluten free products as well. And if you’re lactose intolerant and looking for your protein hit, check out this selection of the best dairy-free protein powders.

Yves Veggie Cuisine offers delicious assortments of meatless burgers, hot dogs, deli slices, and packages of ground round. The kale and quinoa bites, and the falafel balls, are really tasty. Breakfast options are also available including Veggie Bacon and Veggie Breakfast Patties.
When people hear about meatless meat products, they instantly imagine this grotesque, off-coloured, nasty tasting, barely eatable food item. Yves Veggie Cuisine products are actually really appetizing. I’ve had friends ask to try a bite of whatever I’m eating at the time, an Yves’ burger or tacos made with Yves’ Veggie Ground Round, and they are always pleasantly surprised by how “not awful” it tastes. It’s also quite affordable, which is a total bonus.

I have looked at it but have never been brave enough to try it, figured it would always taste bad. Thanks for the review might have to get some and give it a try.
I’ve always been curious about the Original Veggie Ground Round. Sure does look like a tasty recipe!
My youngest daughter has been a vegetarian since she was 8 years old and I know she highly recommends “Yves Ground Round”. She has many recipes, but I am going to send her a copy of yours. Thank You so much for your review. 🙂
