Product review: GimmeLean sausage style
Jan. 27th, 2008 11:53 amI really like this Gimme Lean sausage stuff. Dr. Barnard recommends it in the Reversing Diabetes book. Before I read that, I didn't even know it was vegan (we don't buy prepared foods very often). It's vegan, and fat-free (I've been looking for sources of protein for our breakfasts that are higher in vegetable matter than in eggs and dairy).
Anyway, it's really good. It "fried" up just fine in a dry nonstick skillet, so I didn't even need to add a tiny bit of oil to the pan. It's fairly expensive for us at $4 a tube, but at 60 cents a serving or so, it's not outrageous.
Right now, I'm eating it with bell pepper strips on toast (homemade bread), and it doesn't need anything else. I'm thinking of using the remainder of it to stuff some squash or something later. Or maybe stuffed mushrooms. Wouldn't it be funny to stuff a chicken with it? ;-)
