Have you tried these? Let us know what you think

[@missjones8123]

No

[@Nikki-ec1zb]

No tasty for me

[@shaunaburton7136]

I’ve never seen these. It’s wild how much new Vegan stuff is being made.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

I feel like it's slowed down so much LOL

[@l.chelseegobin7853]

You guys are the reason I even gave the Daring pieces a shot. 😂 I have learned that having them “well done” in the air fryer helps with the texture for those averse to stringy textures. Thank you both for all that you do to promote this lifestyle. It’s greatly appreciated. ❤ What a great backup meal to have when you are traveling or just having one of those days that the bits and pieces to put a bowl together might be lacking. 😊

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Love that!

[@karenlindstrom8266]

I’m with Andrew! I have been vegan 7 years (vegetarian for 45+) and I cook from scratch. So I make pretty much all my meals. I am fortunate that I am retired so time isn’t an issue for me!

[@MakeItDairyFree]

That is awesome!

[@tamcon72]

Yes, we DO say leave the bloops in! LOL! Good to see you two again; hope you and the kids have been well. I am not sold on vegan analogue meals: The current ones are so expensive compared to the meal you could make with just one bag of their analogue product. It's good that you note that Daring pack their meals with the core product, a major improvement. I guess the lesson here is add salt to the meals that taste bland? Thanks for posting : )

[@MakeItDairyFree]

We're doing well! Thank you! And yes, add salt HAHA

[@SpecialKate8]

Thank you for including the sodium content! As someone who has to be on a lower sodium diet, it is soooo hard to find options in easy meal options.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

You're so welcome!

[@theresaspears3894]

I completely agree about wanting family sized meals. Great video!

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Yes! Thank you!

[@bigskytinybird]

Actually, fiber is what helps you feel full. The greens are the most nutrient-dense foods that exist and most people are not consuming nearly enough as they should. Appreciate (and love watching) all your reviews, btw! ;)

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Good point!

[@thatveganchick668]

Agree! I try to add greens into every meal.

[@jd7296]

Excellent review★★★★★ Really appreciate your taking the time and effort to respond to our requests. This has been extremely helpful.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stacieg2919]

Excited to try these. I just bought them this past weekend. Thanks for the review.😀

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Hope you enjoy!

[@MorrisandApril]

I am 100%%%% so happy to see you both on the channel. I only knew about the other channel for over a year. New sub here. Hey yall!!! Love you guys!!!

[@MakeItDairyFree]

heyyyyy :)

[@sophisticated_naturally5015]

I tried one of their “chicken” types of food I got from Walmart, and it was not good to me, so I haven’t tried anything from them since then, hopefully in the future I can try more from them and it will taste better 🙃

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Oh no! What did you not like?

[@MorrisandApril]

The first one probably needs more garlic because………. Everything needs garlic LOL. Or onion. That is just how I live LOL😂

[@NiftyBecky]

I haven’t tried them yet, but I did just buy the two flavors Publix had on sale for $4.99 this past week.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

oh nice sale!

[@brittanydaniels1102]

@NiftyBecky My local Publix that I currently work at part time does not carry any of these newer Daring frozen meals at all.

[@sarahdee374]

I'd rather buy some Daring (or other) nuggets and then cook them up with some veggies, sauce and brown rice or whole wheat pasta. The portions look skimpy from here, esp for a high priced serving

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Totally get that!

[@sarahdee374]

@@MakeItDairyFree I'm a lazy cook so I like to always keep some "clean" sauces on hand: BBQ, teriyaki, Kung Pao for instance. It makes throwing together something pretty good without much effort relatively easy.

[@ediem4222]

[@vanihansen2136]

Man.. I'm on a raw diet of fruit and vegetables. I never feel full from fruit unless I eat a bunch of Watermelon.. honestly I think I could if I bought enough but you know I do what I can..which is why I eat a lot of salad to make me feel full. I tried eating like you guys but my blood sugars were horrible. Now there always perfect. One day I will cure my diabetes. I'm already using barely any insulin.

[@inagadda1976]

I typically add a half of a bag of steamed veggies (and some hot sauce) with most frozen meals since way pre vegan. Xo Davita

[@celinaquiros9381]

Same here. Seems like most of them need a little help to actually constitute a "meal." I would definitely be adding some steamed or baked veggies to these (and maybe a little salt), but it's nice to know they're not over-salted for those who need to have less in their diets.

[@stephsun8997]

Great review as always! Thank you. I would love to see some gluten free seafood option from Daring

[@ThePumpkinQueens]

Larisha!! I love your haircut!! It looks fantastic! Great video as always!💜

[@MakeItDairyFree]

thank you so much

Haven't tried them yet but got it on the grocery list! Great video guys, really enjoy all your reviews!

[@MakeItDairyFree]

[@liltrench5862]

I haven't tried the meals, only the stand-alone "chicken" pieces. I didn't like the taste or texture at all

[@MakeItDairyFree]

oh no

[@thatveganchick668]

Same. ☹️

[@kimking8740]

That was a great review. Could you taste test on frozen vegan pies, since the holidays are coming up! Thank you

[@Dreamysunshine23]

Oh wait... I've never seen these meals... I'm always shopping in different places but that's strange I haven't seen them yet😳👀

[@inagadda1976]

Alot of times I use frozen meals as inspiration and then go home and make my own and freeze xo Davita

[@MakeItDairyFree]

yes!

[@ThepplforHarris47]

I would be down to try this or at least take inspo. I haven't seen theses where I shop but I live in Dayton lol. I do like the Daring brand a lot and buy it often. Maybe a Daring grilled Chkn patty for sandwiches or "breast" would be cool

[@MakeItDairyFree]

yes!

[@antoniacelestin8350]

[@cimesq]

I tasted their chicken (plain one) after one of your reviews. I want to give these a try.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

hope you enjoy these!

[@meganfrey1663]

Thanks for the video! Just wondering if you guys have taste tested the Made Good granola bars?? I found them at Walmart. They have 4 or5 different flavors and they are priced really well. And they taste good. I'm excited as a vegan mom who could never find good granola bars to bring when we're out camping or hiking.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Not yet! Great idea

[@lenorawilson2326]

I know you guys have tried Alpha chicken nuggets and really enjoyed them, I was wondering if you have tried there chicken homestyle chik'n stripes. If so would you mind doing a recipe like chicken salad or soups. Thanks

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Not yet!

[@zednone8768]

Really like the Alpha "chicken" brand. Their homestyle chik'n strips are my go-to when I want to make a "chicken" entree. I've used them for curries, stews, casseroles, and BBQ sandwiches. I just pre-cook them in my own spices or herbs, depending on the dish profile, then finish off the recipe as usual. Even my carnivores like them.

[@lenorawilson2326]

@@zednone8768 Oh that sounds great, I will have to give them a try. I just made chik'n noodle soup. The weather has been changing so much that was so good on a chilly day. I was thinking about a chik'n salad sandwich.

[@garlandstyle5797]

Not sure how this works. But 3 meals, all cooked at the same time? The last one cold since you reviewed the first 2? Heat, even slight, brings flavor to the surface in the Olfactory department. Don't understand why they don't cook each one and taste, cook another one and taste. But? Still I appreciate their effort anyway. 😐

[@joellejones987]

I like their chicken

[@MakeItDairyFree]

[@MaireGraves]

How about something vegan and gluten-free in a salmon knock-off? Not a lot of fish options from what I can see.

[@zednone8768]

Try Good Catch plant based salmon burgers. Really like the original. You can also thaw them and form them into salmon "fillets" before cooking.

[@MaireGraves]

@@zednone8768 I also need gluten-free options, so not sure if those are, but that also limits my options sometimes. But I’ll check those out!

[@brianortega3509]

Hello what orange chicken did you like ?

[@MakeItDairyFree]

trader joes one

[@thatveganchick668]

I wanted so badly to like Daring chicken, but I just don't. It's mainly the texture...no matter how I cook them, I find them too dry, chewy and stringy. I've tried every flavor and they are all a "nope" from me. Another reason is an overpowering cardamom flavor in most of them. I like cardamom, but they seem to be very heavy handed with it. I didn't know they made frozen meals. Doubt I'll be trying them, though. ☹

[@MakeItDairyFree]

sorry to hear that

[@loveforgod4505]

I rather them put no salt in mine. Because I would like to add my sea salt 😂😂😂😂

[@ohleander02]

Lol nope. Way too much salt (for me; low salt diet). 🙂 I like reviews though because it's a good way to get exposed to other products.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Fair enough!

Looks good, but soy free so…

[@MakeItDairyFree]

Sorry! There's other brands of frozen meals out there that are soy free

[@garlandstyle5797]

Oh. In addition. Eat when you are HUNGRY. Not because we need to put up a video to make money.
