I have always wanted to eat healthier and go back to eating more plant-based food. While I can’t do that fully yet; I find that having vegan and vegetarian, ready-to-cook food items, are a great way to keep me from resorting to food delivery services, especially during busy work days.

One of my favorite vegetarian food items is the ‘Tapa’ from The Good Choices. This is one of the vegetarian food items that has become a customer favorite and understandably so. It’s very convenient to store in the freezer, and just thaw a bit to use. This is one of the things I ordered for my food stash when I moved to the new place.

It’s easy to mix with veggies for a quick veggie stir fry, or in my case, sauté with frozen veggies like broccoli and canned mushrooms for a ‘meatier’ meal. I still get to enjoy the smoky, umami flavor, combined with the slight peppery, sweetness of tapa without the added unhealthy preservatives and cholesterol. Plus, I get to pair it with my favorite veggies, or whatever’s inside my refrigerator or pantry. Sometimes, I add potatoes, carrots and green peas to it with other spices for a different dish altogether. You can also heat it up as is with the sauce and eat with rice for a simple, filling meal.

I don’t miss the taste and texture of actual meat at all from this soy-based alternative. Unlike other soy-based food alternatives, this doesn’t taste like “only soy” or is “bland like cardboard” at all. It is very flavorful and the texture is quite adequate so you don’t feel like you’re chewing on air, or again, like wet cardboard.

I am not sponsored by the way but I have been a long-time customer. I’m just putting it out there because I want to share stuff that contribute to our health in some way. They have other vegetarian items available that you can check out on their Facebook and Instagram accounts. You can also order their items from these channels as well as through other partner distributors in different locations. More showcase of their other food items will of course be coming soon.

They also have a restaurant which has its own delicious menu of vegetarian food. I would love to visit it again soon and try out what’s new on the menu as well as taste some of my old-time favorites as well.
