These days, eggs are considered a hot commodity. With such a limited supply, grocery stores haven’t been able to keep them in stock, and when you do find a dozen, they can be pretty pricey (some even cost upwards of $13 per carton!). If eggs used to be your primary source of protein in the morning, there’s no need to panic. Shoppers have started using this meat substitute to solve their breakfast woes and up their daily protein intake.
Eat Meati is a plant-based meat alternative that offers a realistic meaty flavor and texture. It’s the perfect way to get the protein you need also works for those who eat a vegan diet. The brand’s breakfast patties have become a mealtime staple for many. Each one is packed with protein (8 grams per patty) and has similar textures to real breakfast meats. Meati’s hero ingredient is mycelium, which has a root-like structure and gives its food that “meat” feel. Aside from offering protein, the brand’s products are clean and filled with fiber, B vitamins and other essential components of a healthy diet. The good news is that, unlike eggs, there’s no worry of shortage here — Meati notes that mycelium grows remarkably fast in the soil of a forest or field, making it an abundant source.
Aside from breakfast patties, Meati is also available in cutlets, classic steak and carne asada, and fans enjoy how easy each one is to make for breakfast or dinner.
“So love this product!” an impressed shopper wrote. “As a plant-based chef, I’m always looking for new products to try in my kitchen. This product here is a game changer!!! So far I have made birria tacos that came out amazing and I made a steak salad which was to moist and delicious!!!!”
“I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture of Meati,” said another. “It tasted very similar to real meat and was very satisfying.”
Vegans who struggle to find realistic meat substitutes also sing the products’ praises.
“I’ve tried a lot of plant-based meats, but Meati is by far the best,” one person admitted. “It has an authentic meaty flavor and texture.”
Next time you’re out of eggs, head to your local grocery store to pick up a few options from Meati. The “meats” are sold at Whole Foods, Harris Teeter and more!
