Nuggets of Grace

TLDR; Once I figured out a few good ways to cook them (beyond the instructions to boil them), I decided I'm buying the bucket next time!

For context, I'm a serious calisthenics athlete who monitors nutrition closely. I've been vegetarian for a bit but couldn't bring myself to go vegan because I was ignorant of protein sources that I could use to build meals that didn't come with a lot of added carbs/fat. I often don't have a lot of calories to play around with, so even tofu is a tough sell with the extra fat. Say Grace is perfect because it's ~95% calories from protein and it's higher volume than other vegan protein sources like seitan, so it keeps me full for longer.

I found say grace through John Thomas, the Bodybuilding Vegan, and gave it a shot. I was happy with the taste, but the need to boil large batches meant I could only use the nuggets for meal prep or when I had time to cook. I found a few tricks to make this more of an "all-the-time" food though.

For one, the shreds and bits have high surface-area-to-volume ratio, so they absorb water faster and cook faster than the nuggets, which make them *perfect* for microwaving in savory porridge, etc. when I'm low on time. With the nuggets, I've started boiling large batches but not draining them (the tedious part) and storing them immediately. When I'm ready to eat them, I give a quick wring-out with my hands and fry them in a pan or (even better) bake them in the oven. The nuggets take on an out-of-this world texture after that!

This helped me make the switch, and we'll see how far I can take the vegan lifestyle. 10/10, you guys are doing a great thing.

The nuggets were easy to prepare, as we soak them in chicken broth and removed them while still tender. They were easy to chew, and with a mixture of herbs and seasoning, along with cooking them in the chicken broth, even some guests could not tell the difference of them being plant based instead of chicken. The resealable pouch makes the product easy to store. We will buy more of the products from Say Grace in the future.

I have used this product for years. It was sold by a different company, but the product has stayed the same. It's vey easy to use and will take on different flavors, depending on what you are cooking.

My trainee suggested this brand—all of the different forms are good, but the nuggets are fantastic. We soak them in no-chicken chicken broth, put chicken seasonings on them, then air-fry them. They’re sort of layered on the inside, crispy on the outside. Just the right level of chewiness. Perfect.

I absolutely love my Say Grace Protein. The macros are incredible and guess what! No animals are harmed in the making. It’s easy enough to make, priced right (use my code to save even more, code: BodybuildingVegan ) and enjoy this daily - I do!!
