Why I Love Vegan Chicken Nuggets as a Non-Vegan

This may be weird to say, but I enjoy vegan chicken nuggets. I am not a vegan, but I’ve had the honor to be best friends with someone vegan. This is how I got introduced to Beyond Chicken Nuggets! Here are the reasons why I love vegan nuggets!

  1. They are delicious 

I often ate Tyson chicken nuggets as a kid. But safe to say they were at times sponge-like. But vegan nuggets are completely different. As a college student, I also have only had access to a microwave, which plays a big factor in the nugget warming process. Vegan nuggets do not get soggy when in the microwave and this is very important to me. 

  1. My vegan friend and I can both enjoy 

There are not a lot of foods that my best friend can enjoy together. But vegan chicken nuggets are something that we can both enjoy together! For lunch, dinner, or a midnight snack, it is perfect! 

  1. Lots of protein 

With 14 grams of protein and easy to cook, these breaded nuggies are enough when you are hungry. My favorite is to eat them as a post-workout snack.
