I’m not vegan because I’m not super strict but I’m a very plant based person and sorry but most Beyond products are gross with a gross texture and taste, a few of the products are ok. Most people I know who live like I do don’t really eat many meat substitutes. I treat meat like a rare treat and would always choose to rarely eat meat (no red meat for me ever though) than to eat Beyond products on a more regular basis.
Yeah, I'm not fully vegan either because it is hard to go 100% in our society and I grew up in a very meat heavy household, takes time to change. I tend to stick more with Impossible for the plant based meat alternatives, especially the ground beef substitute. I find finishing it in the air fryer/convection oven improves the texture a lot. But chickpeas have become a larger part of my diet, they're pretty versatile.
