Gardenburger Meatless Meatballs Penne Marinara Review

(Photo Credit: worththewisk)

I love Gardenburger products. While I'm not a vegetarian, I do enjoy going meatless when I can, and their stuff is usually topnotch. So I was very disappointed when I sat down, ready to enjoy my Gardenburger Meatless Meatballs Penne Marinara, but instead of the usual deliciousness that I've come to know and I love in their burgers, I was now greeted with a product that is edible but not enjoyable.

The sauce - did they say marinara? - I think not. It was like watered down tomato juice. The Penne was a bit on the tough-not-tender side, and the meatballs - lets just say don't expect it to taste like traditional meatballs.

A 10 oz serving of Gardenburger Meatless Meatballs Penne Marinara provides 300 calories, 21 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber - that's 46% of the daily value! Although you also get a whopping 1000 mg of sodium - 42% of your DV - so for those watching sodium intake, this meal is not to be trifled with. This product is a little more pricey than some ready-to-eat meals, at a little over $3.00 but most vegetarian -meatless- products are.

I wonder if there are just some things you shouldn't try to substitute. I'm saddened to say it, but I don't think I will be spending my hard earned money on this product in the future
