Delicious Frozen Vegetarian Convenience Foods

Being a vegetarian no longer means spending hours in the kitchen wondering what to do with that block of tofu or refrigerator full of vegetables. While both are staples of a healthy vegetarian diet, there are plenty of healthy, yet convenient options that can be found in almost all grocery stores—and are more practical options for busy people. Most of these brands have meals, a la carte versions of their meal products, and meal starters such as veggie burgers or imitation chicken. Here is a selection of some of the best products from five different brands that carry vegetarian products. These can all be found in the freezer aisle at most major grocery stores. 

-Amy’s Cheese Enchilada Whole Meal Amy’s is a line of organic, vegetarian food products who’s claim to fame is easy preparation and natural ingredients. This Cheese Enchilada Whole Meal is one from their line of whole meals that include vegetarian or vegan side dishes that can be whipped up in the microwave in a few minutes. A side of corn and beans rounds out the meal and gives some of the protein that many vegetarian diets tend to lack. 

-Boca Spicy Chik’n Patties If you are a vegetarian who misses meat, or even a meat-eater who tries to cut back on their meat intake you must check out Boca Spicy Chik’n Patties. Convenient and delicious, these meatless chicken patties are also available in a non-spicy version and taste about as close to chicken as possible for a product made out of soy. They are sold four to a package and taste great on a roll with lettuce and tomato, or chopped up with cheese and vegetables in a wrap. Cook them quickly in the microwave, or wait a few minutes longer for a crispier, out of the oven product.
