I received this product free to try courtesy of a sampling site, just as a disclaimer.
First of all, I will say that this product is incredibly difficult to find here in Ontario, Canada, even in a very urban setting, where there are not only big box retailers, but also specialty stores. I searched online to find them, and even went to the specific shops, and they didn't carry the products as promised.
I was finally able to try this product, and I will admit that I was very skeptical as someone who enjoys a nice juicy meaty burger. There are more options out there for meatless products, but they do not often live up to the real thing.
In terms of the overall appearance, they do appear similar to a ground meat product made into a burger. I tried them raw as well (it didn't say not to!) just to taste the product before cooking and for the seasoning. There wasn't much in the way of actual seasoning, but you can taste the actual base of the burger and the texture, which was pretty good.
I tried pan frying the burgers which turned out really well, although they didn't hold up as well on a barbeque.
I also used this burger to make koftas and kebabs, and added in my own spices and ingredients, and this was my fav way to enjoy them! They actually have a great kofta recipe on the Meatless Farms website!
I have 'mixed' thoughts on the nutritional content; yes, it's made with pea protein and veggie based ingredients. Each burger has 250 calories which is similar to a lean ground burger, but more than perhaps a chicken/turkey burger. These have 19g of protein each, but also almost 25% of your daily recommended intake of fat and sodium. That's just the burger itself! Then you have to consider the bun, plus add-ins, and it is pretty much a typical burger.
Lastly, the cost of the burgers is quite substantial, almost $10 for just 2 patties.
Overall, I was surprised at the quality of these meatless burgers, and worth a try!

I’ve been using the Derma blend brand for years now as is difficult to find a similar line of products that are such high-quality and provide that camouflage look. This is a great setting powder that does not leave a cakey or ghost like appearance. It’s great to use with the rest of this line or with additional products. The only downside is the cost of these products although you’re paying for the quality. I would recommend giving this line a try -

The only downside would be the nutritional value obviously, it’s not the most healthy snack, but great in moderation! Also the price for this brand is on the higher end for snacks, but worth it for the overall quality. -

For anyone who loves the original Triscuit crackers but like me is looking for something a little bit lighter, these are perfect! They are about half the size of the originals and much thinner, and far less greasy. I love the new flavours that they have come out with, especially this Parmesan garlic blend. These are great on their own or with any other toppings that you would typically use for a cracker. Enjoy! -

I love the Garnier brand as I find their products to be of high-quality and provide consistent results. This product has the characteristic scent of the line which is a nice touch and does provide a smoothing effect. I will say however that it does weigh down the hair a little bit because it is a cream formulation rather than a serum and leaves a residue behind. Overall a pretty good product. -

I love this Argan oil! It’s great on the hair but I also use it on my skin as well. It’s so silky and leaves your skin and hair feeling very smooth. The only downsides is the price per size of the bottle although the product itself does go a long way with just a few drops. Give it a try! -
