This was my first time ordering the Tofu Scrambler with Vegan Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Turnover from Veggie Brothers. Almost everything I've ordered from this company I have loved, and this item surely didn't disappoint! Even my vegetarian boyfriend (who sometimes turns his nose up at vegan items and is weirded out by vegan cheese and other vegan things) loved this item. After scarfing it down he told me, "Not bad!" I take that as a great sign.

Price and Packaging

As with most Veggie Brothers items, the price is a little steep (although they do have a rewards program!) at about $12.00 for a 2-serving package. The food is vaccuum-sealed and bagged. Nutritional information, ingredients, and preparation instructions are included. It is easy to prepare; simply bake for about 15 minutes then serve.

Appearance, Flavor, and Texture

The turnovers come packaged together and are a triangular shape. The puff pastry is light, fluffy and flavorful once baked. It is hard to find a good puff pastry that is vegan, but this definitely is one. 

If I have to use one word to describe this breakfast item, it would be flavorful. The tofu scramble inside was mild flavored but the vegan cheese and sausage and other ingredients complimented each other very well. It was just enough of each component to make one tasty breakfast food!

I had one or two chunks of sausage in my Veggie Brothers turnover, but the chunks were large. The sausage was seasoned just right with a tasty blend of spices, but not too spicy or overwhelming to take away from the other flavors in the turnover.

Nutritional Information

One serving is approximately 3 ounces. While it doesn't seem like very much it is actually quite filling and very satisfying. While this food is definitely healthier than pork sausage, whole eggs, dairy cheese and standard puff pastry, it is in no way considered a health food.

Each serving contains 331 calories and 26 grams of total fat (almost half of which is saturated). There is no trans fat or cholesterol, but the Tofu Scrambler with Vegan Sausage & Cheese Breakfast Turnover does have 143 mg of sodium (about 6% of the recommended daily allowance). It does provide 6 grams of fiber, 5 grams of protein, almost a third of the recommended ddaily intake of iron, a small amount of calcium, and other trace nutrients.

I served mine with a banana-almond butter-almond milk smoothie for a well-rounded and delicious breakfast. I will certainly purchase this item again.
