vegan chicken nugget taste test (our honest review)

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Update: We have removed our Eat Nowadays review from this video as we included a product that is not available from the brand. Their nuggets are not gluten-free.

[@BayviewX]

What about nowadays nuggets? I saw it on the thumbnail but not in the video

It's amazing how many different ones there are now!! So awesome to see vegan businesses thriving! 💚🌱💚

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

we love to see it!!

[@veganlunchmom]

So happy!

[@eatitra]

Literally amazing how you can find 15 different brands who make vegan nuggets and I can't even find one

[@1auntievenom]

I understand, there are plenty here but none that i can eat because i have to be gluten free. Nuggs made theirs gluten free until the 2.0 version. I am dtill sad about that. They are online and in walmart.

[@robertorion6559]

That was very helpful. How about a taste test of vegan hotdogs?

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Glad to hear it! We will add that to the list, thank you :)

[@absolutely3539]

snartfoods has the BEST!!!!

[@Walkfan23]

I have been gluten free for almost 20 years because I have Celiac disease and last year around this time I had to go vegan because of health issues. You guys saved me! I was trying to figure out what to eat, how to get enough protein, etc... when I found your channel. I love watching and learning. You're both adorable!

[@bengrunewald4183]

I've been eating the Gardein tenders and they are amazing. I don't honestly know how anything could be better but I just bought the new Impossible nuggets and I'm eager to compare them to Gardein.

[@KCRUBYWOO]

I just tried their mandarin nuggets. It literally taste like normal chicken nuggets and I’m not vegetarian or vegan. I would definitely recommend these, they taste exactly like regular frozen nuggets.

[@daydreamer3]

You know which one you two missed? (Which seems impossible, I know, considering how many you guys tested! lol) The Raised & Rooted ones! They are one of the best ones I've ever tried. But here's the twist... they USED TO not be vegan! They had egg (but were vegetarian). However, the company recently RE-DID them (taking out the egg & adding other vegan ingredients) and now they're vegan! I never tried them before they were vegan so I don't know how they tasted. But I love the way they taste now... they're honestly what I remember McDonald's nuggets tasting like! So if you guys can stomach another chicken nugget after all the testing you did, try those next!

[@melodygilmore1628]

I agree! I love Raised & Rooted too! They are my favorite nugget!

[@lovelynage]

These are hubbies favorite. He says they taste like McDonald's nuggets. They remind me more of Wendy's (when we both ate meat)

[@nicolee4118]

those ones remind me of mcdonalds chicken nuggets! those are so yummy

[@BRhymesss]

The raised and rooted and impossible nuggets are SO damn good. Those are my clear favorites

[@mneshia]

I agree!

[@ashleygranado6385]

I absolutely love the impossible nuggets. Out of all the nuggets I've tried they are the best to me. I really want to try the beyond. Hopefully they make their way to AZ soon.

[@stephaniethompson8638]

Hi Ashley, we found the Beyond in a Phx Walmart for just under $5. Hopefully you can get your hands on them soon!

[@ashleygranado6385]

@@stephaniethompson8638 which walmart? I would love to go get a bag.

[@stephaniethompson8638]

@@ashleygranado6385 We've spotted them at the 35th & Southern location but ended up buying from 59th & Bell. When Impossible hit the shelves, we noticed Walmart on 35th didn't stock them for long...so that may be the case with Beyond. Good luck!

[@kw2416]

@@ashleygranado6385 the Walmart on 19th Ave and Bell had both beyond and impossible nuggets. Good luck!

[@ohyeagirl1111]

These ones and the simulate nuggs are my fav

[@sharie5706]

Thanks for this review, that was a lot of nuggets! Our new favorite is the Raised and Rooted nuggets, and I think the Impossible ones are also great. Will look forward to trying your other favs.

[@jennifers2555]

LOVE that you put the price per nugget! I love the Whole Foods nuggets. They're cheap and yummy. Also love Gardein 7-Grain tenders, but it's gotten increasingly expensive and less often on sale.

[@Jonesshows]

I think we think alike. I go by taste AND price per nugget. I’m cheap. The impossible nuggets come like 20 to a bag and at my local Walmart they are $6.48 so about $.32 each and I’m ok with that. Simulate Nuggs come 16 to a box for $4.98 or $.31 each so right on par.

[@emilygilbutt]

The Morningstar nuggets and buffalo wings are my favorites, especially in the air fryer! Good by themselves in dipping sauce or for a salad :-)

[@nanaxo937]

Love morningstar farms' popcorn chicken 🥵

[@veganwildfire7522]

SAME!! I've tried them all and I still love those ones! I will say the whole foods brand is a close second

[@LoveHardFightHard]

Yess, I agree!!

[@Juliyakay]

Funny I hate the morning star nuggets but love the popcorn chicken

[@patricebright4182]

I’ve been loving the garden ultimate chicken tenders. The breading is good and they are thick and juicy

[@PurpleSwils]

Love those too!

[@lgee8383]

I ate them so much that I got sick of them lol. But yes they were amazing!! Literally the smell makes me gag now. I was so obsessed that I ate them with every meal/every day.

[@EW-cq6yv]

Loved this video! These taste tests are so helpful. The Beyond Meat tenders are sold at Walmart so definitely be on the lookout. Keep up the great work guys!

[@haley5803]

Thank you so much for doing this! As a new vegan, I really don't want to waste my money on mock items and not like them, especially since many can be pricy (at least compared to whole, unprocessed vegan food!) It was also wonderful that you included the price per chicken nugget. :)

[@Jonesshows]

I love that they do reviews. It really helps. The channel Make it Dairy Free does a ton of reviews too. It definitely helps me know what to avoid and what to invest in.

[@RillaG]

I'm allergic to both soy and wheat, so store bought frozen vegan chicken nuggets are never an option... Instead I blend quinoa with chickpeas, season, then roll in crushed cornflakes, make into a patty shape, and deep fry. So good!

[@hommefataltaemin]

Woah that must suck to have both those allergies!!:(

[@RillaG]

@@hommefataltaemin I'm used to it now, was diagnosed over a decade ago and it's worth it to feel so much better. I never have bloating, gas or stomach pain anymore. I never realized how much pain I was in until I eliminated it!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Watched the taste test review video despite not having all the brands in the UK, just because I am nosey about what other vegans eat. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕💕 Chris & Jasmine.

[@tomithot261]

Just found you guys, subscribed as I liked the thorough reiews ... plus am happy to find some videos from Pacific NW folks. Also saw a fast food chicken review ... good job there too.

[@michellebeckham6402]

Lots of great nuggets! Impossible has become my fave, but I also like Alpha, incogmeato (Mickey shaped) Gardein Ultimate & Raised & Rooted. And I’ve been using Daring chicken (original) and I just bought the Cajun style but haven’t tried yet.

[@shellym79]

I hate the Mickey shaped ones lol. I threw the bag away. I love the regular shaped ones though. Weird.

[@ShayC143]

Appreciate the time stamps!! Love your food review videos!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Thanks so much :)

[@nerdytalk1755]

I find most Veggie nuggets to taste like breaded breading. Very bready. Raised and Rooted veggie nuggets on the other hand tastes great. Put them together with Ore'Ida's Extra Crispy Fast Food fries and some sauces and it's like taking a trip to McDonald's.

[@misslari24]

I finally got my hand on the Gardein Ultimate nuggets and I LOVE them, keeping in mind that they're more like popcorn chicken than nuggets. As for actual nuggets, *Alpha* is probably still my favorite. When it comes to Impossible, I have to cook them for longer and at a higher temperature (425-450) -- otherwise, they just taste like Incogmeato, which isn't that great. IMO, Field Roast is too thin and gravel-y.

[@stevec.6119]

THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!! I've been waiting so long for a "comprehensive" chicken nugget review. You two are the greatest.. P.s. My favorite has been the Alpha brand. Costco used to carry their chicken patties, but dropped them for some reason....so I've been searching for alternatives. thanks again.

[@nicolee4118]

we stocked up at costco of the alpha patties! sad to know they won't have them again

[@gilmotier]

Please review vegan nogs!!! 🙏🙏🙏 There are so many new ones on the market now for the holidays.

[@Allayabelle]

I just tried the Stimulate brand dino "chicken" nuggets and was really impressed. I had them side by side with the Gardein Ultimate version and preferred them by far. Before I tried them the Whole Foods 365 were my top choice. They are available at Walmart and are a decent price too.

[@abihfritz]

Hahaha i love ya’ll. You go together like two peas in a pod, I love your channel. You can tell you guys had fun filming this video😊

[@Jonesshows]

Impossible & Yummy are my top two. I also was really impressed with the Simulate Nuggs (not the spicy one though, too dry). Oh and a surprisingly good nugget is the Boca Nuggets. I found them at Whole Foods. The 365 nuggets are very good too.

[@teardropblue]

I’ve been waiting for an exhaustive nuggie review! Yay

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Enjoy!!

[@conradtaylor29]

For future combo-products taste test videos, I recommend cleansing your palate between taste tests which will help to reset your taste buds. Thus, you can use any of the following to cleanse your palate: water, lemon water, green tea, apple, celery, and ginger. Love this video and please do keep them coming!!!! 👍🏾👏🏾🙌🏾

[@kalakumar8513]

[@MoonlightGossamer]

The Gardein Ultimate chicken tenders are the best!!! If they weren't so expensive, I'd probably buy them all the time. They taste best cooked in the air fryer with a small amount of oil for extra crisp.

[@kingakuma7]

If animal products weren't subsidized then the vegan options would actually be the cheapest.

[@lionsheart26]

Yummy is by far my favorite. Spot on taste. I had to go back and look at the package to make sure it was vegan.

[@FashionDesignwithHannah]

Totally agree, the garden 7 grain tenders are better than their nuggets and you have to bake them as they don’t cook nor microwave very well. My fave would have to be morningstar’s chik’n nuggets, especially since they microwave well since I don’t feel like baking very often. I feel like you also get a good amount for the price.

[@nikki642653]

Your reaction to the Boca. Lol. Bless my little heart. It's the most accessible one to me and so that's what I buy. Can't wait till i get to try some of your higher ranked nuggs.

haha! Hopefully more will be available in your area soon!

[@kathleenhall3868]

Kroger (Ralph's, QFC, Fred Meyer, etc.) meatless chicken tenders get our vote. 17 pieces in a bag ... often on sale for $4/per. 1st ingredient is soy; breading is wheat. Yummmm!

[@Consciouscuban]

Love this type of videos! I recently tried the 365 nuggets and loved them! Much more affordable too

[@cassconsorti6332]

it's so cool to see so many different kinds of nuggets! the only vegan nuggets in my area really are the boca ones and i have to air fry them and make a sauce for them to taste anywhere near decent. i can't wait to try the beyond tenders when they're more available!

[@pinkpotter]

I love the 365 ones! So unassuming because it is a store brand but I love the flavor and how much it crisps up!! And it is more affordable than the other brands.

[@Spookdog]

it would be great to see a taste test like this but then you show different ways to cook/eat them if you're unable to give them to friends! like if I had extra chicken nuggest I would try them in salad or wraps or even something like putting them in pasta lol. but that's how I normally eat because I don't wanna just have nuggets plain, I like adding them in things to make them a bit more healthy :) you didn't try it but I loooove the gardein orange chicken, they look a lot like nuggets and I personally don't like the sauce so I just eat them with broccoli plain lol

[@taylorzaldivar9566]

I love how the plate just gradually gets more and more packed 😂

[@nicoletorres286]

I never had the beyond tender. But the garden ultimate chicken tender is sooo goood!!!!!

Incogmeato and 365 are our favorites. I have yet to see Impossible or Beyond, and some of those other brands I have never heard of.

Quorn vegan meatless Buffalo dippers are so good!!!! I’ve tried impossible, and the seven grained tenders amongst a few others but the Buffalo dippers have a really nice flavored breading that’s not too overpowered by the buffalo. The insides have a different texture then most nuggets but it’s a texture I prefer than some of the spongier more meat textured alternatives. The ingredients list is also nice prettt clean and doesn’t make me feel gross after. Give those a try if you can!
