Boca Meatless Smoked Sausages

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Apr 3, 2006

I have been trying hard to find good sausage and burger meat substitutes since it's time to get grillin.' In 2004, I tried Boca Sausages and they were horrendous [read the review]. I love Boca products, especially the Meatless Ground Burger, so now that it seems Boca has updated their sausages, I was excited to give them a try again.

The Meatless Smoked Sausages looked like plump, juicy sausages/franks. In fact, I ended up splitting one down the middle and making two hotdogs from the one sausage. As impressed as I was with the appearance, I was a little less impressed with the taste. It was definitely much better than when I first tried Boca sausages in 2004, but while it was okay and edible, it was also dry and had a soy taste. People who are used to eating regular meaty dogs may not like this non-meat version much, but for vegetarians who may be more used to eating soy products, this will make a decent hotdog.

One sausage has 130 calories, 6 grams of fat, 0.5 grams of that is saturated, 680 mg of sodium, which is 28% of the recommended daily amount, and 14 grams of protein. A package has 4 sausages and costs about $3.00. The sausages have egg whites, so this might not be for vegans.
