Zesty Meatless Strips

These Vegan Meat Strips from Gardein Get a Kick from Chipotle Lime Flavors

Gardein’s Chipotle Lime Crispy Fingers make a great vegan meat substitute to add to soups, salads and main course meals. This cruelty-free option is made with non-GMO ingredients and it is completely free of dairy and other animal by-products. As for what you will find in the chicken-free fingers, there are a variety of ancient grains, as well as plant-based ingredients like potato starch, pea protein, plus fiber from organic beetroots and carrots.

Per two pieces, these vegan and vegetarian-friendly chicken fingers contain 15 grams of protein, plus Vitamins B6, B12, C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium and Zinc. These Chipotle Lime Crispy Finger feature a little more spice and zest than Gardein’s plain 7-Grain Crispy Tenders.
