This Week's Must-Have

Italian Meat-Free Sausage

From taste to texture, Field Roast has creating meatless sausages down to a delicious science.

Zesty might be one way to describe Field Roast's Italian Sausages, but don't forget delicious, versatile, and incredibly filling. Eggplant, onions, garlic, red pepper, and fennel are finished with a splash of red wine and seasoned with a special blend of Italian spices. Paired with a wheat-meat base, these soy-free links are bursting with robust flavor enjoyed any way you like—on a whole-wheat bun, sautéed with bell pepper, and added to scrambles are just a few of our favorite ideas. VN staffers have been known to toss slices of these in their nightly kale salads. With a whopping 25 grams of protein and four grams of fiber per serving, our appetites as well as our taste buds are satisfied.

....at a whopping 250 calories per sausage, don't have 2 for dinner or you'll gradually gain weight!

These things are awesome! And half a day's worth of protein in each sausage. The Mexican Chipotle flavor is my favorite, but each variety is really good.

These are very good, but so high in calories and fat. Smartlight italian vege sausage is obsolutely delicious and 1/2 the calories. I made pasta with broccoli and vege sausage in an oil and garlic sauce and my meat eating friends did not know it was meatless.

a "whopping" 250 calories? seriously? if you eat one sausage with 1 cup of brown rice, which has 216 calories, that's 465. if you add in 1 cup of broccoli at 30 calories, that's 500 calories for dinner. if you eat 3 similar meals a day, that's 1500 a day! how do you gain weight eating that way?
