Plant
based products are becoming very popular, and I am happy when I receive some to
try. Today, the company Longeve, sent me over some of their plant based
products, and I will be using them to make lunch and dinner for the family.
Longeve,
has created plant based protein crumbles, and plant based bread crumbs, all
from nutritious pea protein. In every serving you get 40 grams of this protein.
The products are simple to use, by reconstituting them with hot water. This
makes them easy to use, and fast to create some yummy recipes, at home or on
the go, like camping, or even in a office kitchen. Also these plant based
protein products are great for those in college who want to eat healthy but
don't always have time to cook.
The
company name says it all, it stands for "longevity", and when we eat
healthy that is just what we are giving not only to our bodies, but our planet.
All
the ingredients in Longeve products are preservative free, and non gmo's. The
company is purely focused on food that benefits our health and food that will
promote sustainability. Best of all they are easy, fast, and will fit your
lifestyle what ever it may be.
So
to get started for my families lunch, I made some burgers with the Longeve
plant based protein crumbles. In the bag you see these tan like crumbles, and
it's hard to believe by just adding hot water, they turn into a burger. This is
a great product that you can use to replace any meal or recipe calling for
meat. It's made from pure pea protein, and when you taste it, you will never
know that. It taste just like what you create. Making a burger, it tastes like
a burger, making some meat sauce for pasta, it taste like you added hamburger.
And if your watching your waist line, this product total per serving is only
220 calories. So you can have that burger, or meat dish with out the guilt. Another
great thing about plant based products like these protein crumbles is they are
more cost effective. The 6oz package, will give you a equivalent of three
pounds of ground meat, and with today's price's the protein crumbles save you a
ton of money. The protein crumbles have a longer shelf life as well, there is
no freezer needed, and if you have some left over in the bag, you don't have to
throw them away, like real meat. These protein crumbles don't have any flavor
added to them, that is all up to you, which makes that a fantastic feature. If
you want the taste of taco's then go ahead and add your taco seasoning, the
same went for my burgers. As far as texture, when you reconstitute, it looks
just like ground beef. You will never
know your not eating real hamburger meat, as long as you season your protein
crumbles to fit your recipe. It passed my families test, they did not know
until after, that they we're eating a protein plant based product, I wanted
their true opinions.
Moving
on to dinner, I made some Jalapeno poppers, and coated them with Longeve gluten
free breadless crumbs "Panko Style". They coated the Jalapenos just
like other breadcrumbs would have, in fact looking at this product, it looks
like that other kind. The Panko breadcrumbs are made from 100 % pea protein as
well. And they can replace any type of traditional breadcrumb you need to use
for your dish. This plant based product is plain and you can once again add any
seasoning's you wish, or if you want go ahead and use it plain. Whether making
meatballs, or using them to coat a pork chop, or coat a chicken breast, you
will not taste the difference from this product then that of a traditional
breadcrumb. The plant based breadcrumbs will also work as a topping for a nice
mac and cheese dish. The Jalapeno poppers I made, we're done so in my air
fryer, and the plant based Panko crumbs held up perfectly, giving them a golden
coat and nice crisp. They are easy to use, all I did was spray my stuffed Jalapenos
really good with some coconut oil spray, then rolled them in the Panko crumbs
from Longeve, and in the air fryer they went. These plant based breadless panko
crumbs will be a healthy replacement for alternative crumbs, with great
nutritional value.
My
main dish was some chicken nuggets, in which I used the Longeve gluten free
breadless plain crumbs. They to are a premium product made with the same plant
based pea protein ingredients. I made my chicken nuggets in the same manner as
my Jalapeno poppers, just coating them in my coconut oil spray really well,
then rolling them in the plant based plain bread crumbs. As I did with the
panko, I seasoned the crumbs with my own seasoning mixture. The chicken nuggets
came out of the air fryer, very golden and crispy, and the plant based plain
breadcrumbs held up perfectly again. The taste and texture is better then
traditional, because you control the seasoning and or the spice. These
breadless breadcrumbs definitely make a wonderful replacement for the
traditional breadcrumb, and provide a much healthier option.
