Even though I do eat meat, I love experimenting with plant-based protein options to go with my meals. They taste delicious, and are more easily digested by the body. This walnut meat is perfect for adding to tacos, homemade Bolognese, or even on top of a pizza. Here are four different flavor varieties so you can experiment with this plant-based protein!
