Great addition to the box! It would be nice if this was offered as an add on for more of the vegetarian meals. A lot of the meals could use a bit more protein. It also would be a way to expand vegetarian meal options by allowing substitution of the ground meats in some of the nonvegetarian dishes.

Really liked this plant based meat alternative- beyond beef or impossible meat is usually my fav- but this one has a similar taste and is very good!

It's a little sweet, which is weird for its purpose.
