Honestly, daring is not the emotion I was feeling that day in the grocery store. It was frustration. Once again I’d hoped I could quickly find a “ready-made frozen something” I could keep in the freezer at work for those days I don’t have leftovers to bring for lunch. Silly girl.
Then, I spied a bag with the name Daring on it. “Daring Breaded Plant Chicken Pieces” to be exact. Now I’ve said it before, I’m not vegan, but ordering vegan in a restaurant assures me that my food has been prepared without dairy or eggs. With that being said, I also want to make it clear that I am not opposed to the occasional meatless burger or chicken nuggets either.
So, I bought the bag and put it in my work freezer. A couple weeks later I took the plunge and warmed several strips up. I wrapped a couple of those puppies up in lettuce with some of my Hellmann’s Vegan Dressing and Spread. I also dipped a couple pieces in spicy mustard and a couple others in bbq sauce with some green beans on the side. Tasted great! Just like regular chicken strips. (I should let you know that Hellman’s recently changed the name from Vegan to Plant Based. I had a friend trying to find the Vegan Hellman’s recently, she called and said she could only find Hellman’s Plant Based; she asked if they were the same product. I did a quick search and discovered the name change. Yes, they are the same product.)
While they’re a bit pricey, I will not hesitate to buy them again. I mean, seriously, when eating foods that comply with your dietary restrictions, what isn’t pricey, right?
So, if you’re feeling daring the next time you’re in the grocery store, take a leap and pick up a bag of the ‘Daring’ brand of meatless chicken strips! You won’t regret it.
Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping.
