Vegan Breakfast Taste Test // VeganEgg, Bacon & Sausage

My sister and I give you our first impressions of some vegan alternatives to bacon, eggs and sausage! I've found it tough to find vegan options at most brunch places other than fruit salad... So here are some options to make a 100% plant-based "classic American breakfast" in your own home!

Products tried:
Follow Your Heart VeganEgg
Gardein Meatless Breakfast Patties
Yves Vegan Breakfast Patties
Sweet Earth Hickory & Sage Benevolent Bacon
Lightlife Smart Bacon
Lightlife Tempeh Fakin' Bacon

FYH keeps the egg flavor bland so you can use it in baking but if you add nutritional yeast and more black salt it tastes exactly like egg

If you add, chopped veggies like peppers, onions, mushrooms etc and some spices the vegan eggs are great.

I LOVE the burrito! I found some here in Dallas a few months ago and LOVED it! Thanks for your video, now I will have to be on the look out for the Gardine breakfast sausage patties! :)

I love when you do videos with your sis, the two of you are so cute together. I wish my family was as willing to try vegan food

MMmmmm i had grilled Bakon and Cheeze for good! 2 slices of benevolent bacon in between 2 big pieces of italian bread fried with vegan butter and 2 pieces of the Follow Your Heart cheddar inside. This was incredibly delish and i'm convinced a meat eater would have liked it!

Thanks for testing all these -- I'm always curious when I see them in the store, but not willing to drop a fiver on something that ends up being awful. Kudos to your sister for being game to try them with you. I'd really like to see how the powdered 'eggs' work in a quiche. Quiche is probably one of the few things I really miss from my vegetarian days, so finding out if it sets properly will be interesting. Cheers!

have you ever tried shiitake bacon? once it gets crispy it really tastes and looks like the real thing

[Hermyoni]

I'm obsessed with Benevolent Bacon. If you cook it a bit longer and with a little oil in pan it gets very crispy and is amazing on blts.

[cmisis]

Rice paper bacon is the best alternative I've tried so far :)

Those Field Roast sausages that they showed at 8:40 are great! I found them either Kroger or Sprouts

[lesliefluette]

I'm loving your videos! Subscribed!

The Lightlife bacon strips are definitely really good on a BLT. My wife and I love it!

[turnipvegan]

I do agree with your opinion on the vegan eggs.

[udornyc]

You've mentioned "black salt" and I think you've said you used very little salt... If it's "Himalayan Black Salt" aka Kala Namak, then you should use a little bit more, as it is high in sulphur (also very healthy) and it totally gives the "egg" flavor... as the egg flavor is in fact... sulphur.

Btw., you can also make tofu scramble, using tumeric and kala namak with medium soft tofu. Google for recipes!

Bon apetit! :)

The breakfast sandwich you mentioned was also good for something quick 😊

[jalapenojellyjade]

i just subscribed to your channel and I love all your videos, everything you make hclf looks so good

[kmandt]

From what I've read, black salt tends to lose it's flavor in the cooking process, so it's best to add as a finishing ingredient :)

My mom loves those vegan eggs, she is allergic to eggs but used to eat them all the time, and those vegan eggs are close she feels. I have baked with them and they worked pretty well, better then flax eggs. I do gluten free baking with coconut flour and its hard to replace eggs with it but the vegan egg worked pretty well 😀

I used the smartlife bacon in a "blt" and it tasted suppperrr delicious. I feel like if you miss blts that's the way to eat it 🙂

[Tigerlilly]

: : I have found that the smart life bacon needs to be cooked long enough to get super crispy ... for some reason it tastes much better! And the benevolent brand is the one to use as a topping for veggie burgers combined with caramelized onions .. soooo good. : :
