Taste Test Tuesday: Boca Meatless Breakfast Wraps
The company that is known for making veggie hamburgers now makes a meatless breakfast wrap. You can find a box with two wraps containing soy protein sausage, egg white and cheese in the frozen food section thanks to Boca Foods Company out of Madison, Wisconsin.
I'm not one to microwave my breakfast (unless it's oatmeal) but I thought I would give this product a try since the fiber and the protein met my 5 grams minimum requirement for breakfast (I like to eat breakfasts that have at least 5 grams of fiber and protein). The picture on the box looked particularly appealing too with what looks like real scrambled eggs and real lean sausage, and pieces of red and green pepper, all wrapped up in a multi-grain tortilla.
How did it taste?
It was pretty tasty with just the right amount of spice (that's the Southwestern flavor kicking in) and just the right amount of food for a quickie breakfast. The texture seemed fine too. My only complaint is that it definitely didn't look anything like the pretty photo on the box.

I also like BOCA. The sodium content of this is prettyhigh though at almost 22% of DV so maybe this is would be an occasional treat.
I have to disagree completely. This is the only Boca product that I have not liked. It was so bad I threw the other one out instead of offering it to someone else.
I love Boca...in fact, I buy in bulk because my whole family likes boca. I don't eat much meat so thought it was a perfect sub...then I found out I was highly allergic to MSG...which is hidden in different names through out Boca's ingreadents. (mostly in the cheeseburgers) I had no Idea MSG was the source of my head aches which were frequent.
As a strict vegetarian, I love Boca products. I enjoy that their available, almost everywhere in all supermarkets.
