Birds-Eye Plant-Based Chicken Strips & Chicken Style Tenders Review

by Sports Benches

You’ve got to try two amazing plant-based chicken ranges from Birds Eye, such as the plant-based chicken style tenders & chicken strips.

Not only they have a decent health star rating of 3.5 (tenders) – 4.5 (strips) out of five, but it has no artificial colours or flavours. Plus, they’re high in protein which is perfect for meat free Mondays during any day or night of the week, as well as those who rely on a vegan diet.

The plant-based chicken strips ain’t bad when I had the chance other day during dinner, which is great for pairing salads, noodles, pasta & rice alongside various vegetables & sauces. But for me, the plant-based chicken style tenders taste better when it comes to the delicious crumbs & the meat-free variety in it.

These meat-free tenders are even a better combination when making healthy sandwiches/burgers (here’s a picture alongside a few Mini Potato Cakes that I’ve covered last week here).

Make sure you cook them beforehand as per instructions regardless of your choice of cooking appliance, since these packages come in frozen. And you can select whichever Birds Eye plant-based chicken range you like that is available in stock right now for $6.50 at your local Coles supermarket here.

Mini Potato Cakes review from The Why Meat Company

by Sports Benches

You have to check out these healthy and vegan-friendly potato cakes by The Why Meat Company. The company is from Australia and made with real home-grown potatoes. It’s great to support local businesses. 

The Why Meat Company strives to get the best out of those who are on a dairy-free or meat-free diet when producing their products in Mount Waverley in Victoria.

You can prepare the snack in the air-fryer, oven or in the pan. Once these mini potato cakes ready to eat, they taste really good as you can have them for parties, as well as a late morning or afternoon snack alongside some tomato or BBQ sauce as your toppings.

You can find them in both original and salt & vinegar packs at your local Coles supermarket store for $6.

Dairy free Sweet William Chocolate Chunk Cookie air fryer recipe to make at home

by Sports Benches

Here’s some fresh, soft, sweet & dairy-free chocolate chunk cookies that I’ve made earlier this week at home. 

The following ingredients you need are:

Wet

* 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil & other 2 tablespoons of apple sauce

* 1 whole egg replacer (by mixing 1 teaspoon of Orgran no egg product + 2 tablespoons of water)

* 1/4 cup of raw brown sugar

*  2 tablespoons of powdered sugar

* 3 x 1/4 teaspoons of vanilla extract

Dry

* 1/2 cup of wholemeal flour

* 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

* Sprinkle 3-4 times with a bit of salt

* 1/3 cup of chopped Sweet William Vegan Mylk dairy-free chocolate block 

Start with mixing the wet and dry ingredients separately before you integrate them into the one bowl by mixing it again gently this time (using a spatula) until just combined. Then you can chuck in some chopped dairy-free chocolate blocks & mix it (gently again) for another 3-4 times, as you air-tight the cookie dough into the freezer with a plastic wrap for at least an hour or two.

Take the cookie dough out of the freezer after the resting stage by scooping one tablespoon each of cookie dough (serves a total of four cookies) into the baking tray (make sure you line it up with baking paper), while pre-heating the air fryer at 180 degrees Celsius for 4-5 minutes. 

Once that is done, place the baking tray onto the air fryer by lowering the temperature to 150 degrees Celsius for 12-14 mins before cooling it down for another 5-10 minutes & now it’s ready to eat. 

All in all, If you’re unable to find these dairy-free cookies that are ready-made at your local grocery store unless you’re willing to pay online elsewhere with some extra shipping costs, then this is the recipe for you.
