Lightlife Vegetarian Foods Prize Package {Giveaway} 3 Winners

• Sharebar

In 1985, they launched Tofu Pups, a healthier, veggie alternative to the good ol’ American hot dog. And thus, Lightlife Foods was born and the seeds of a veggie revolution were planted. Today, Lightlife’s wide range of nutritious veggie protein products makes it deliciously easy for people to eat veggie.

I’ve been a vegetarian for over 20 years.   I’ve been on the Lightlife band wagon since day one!  I love their variety of  foods, the flexibility they afford me and ya know what?  Their yummy vegetarian foods are affordable.  They just fit in with my veggie lifestyle.

Take for example game day.  We all know traditional game day fare is often filled with finger foods and meaty small bites that are loaded with fat and calories.  Lightlife and vegetarian chef and TV personality Cindi Avila, are offering devoted football fans delicious appetizer recipes and veggie-protein foods including Smart Wings® and Smart Sausages® that are worth cheering about during the big game.

Chef Cindi Avila

“Research from the Calorie Control Council and Snack Food Association finds that on the day of the big game the average viewer will consume 1,200 calories and 50 grams of fat from snacking* and that doesn’t even count any meals,” said Avila. “Lightlife Smart Wings® and Smart Sausages® are packed with veggie-protein and great taste, and they’re perfect for serving on game day alongside my latest Lightlife appetizer recipes.”

The following snack recipes are sure to help game day hosts win over any crowd.

I was Blessed to receive the new Lightlife Smart Cutlets® for review.  This trio of cutlets are sure to please discerning vegetarian palates!  They are super easy to prepare and are fabulous in recipes.

Lightlife Smart Cutlets®

• Smart Cutlets® Original are perfect for vegetarians and meat lovers alike who love the idea of a grilled chicken cutlet but want to go veggie. They’re already grilled so you just have to ‘pan heat’ or microwave.  Serve with your favorite brown rice or potato and steamed veggies and you’ve got a tasty, quick meal!
• Smart Cutlets® Spicy Sweet & Sour – I love Asian inspired cuisine.  Smart Cutlets® Spicy Sweet & Sour are fabulous ‘chunked’ up in a veggie stir fry or Asian ‘Faux Chicken’ Salad.  Hubby and I enjoyed them with a serving of homemade veggie fried rice.
• Cooking Italian food comes naturally to me, so I fell in love with the Smart Cutlets® Classic Marinara. Top these with some low fat mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses and toss under the broiler for a few moments.  Then serve over a bed of whole wheat pasta.  Such a classic dish and so fabulous.  Now when Hubby the Hubster is indulging in homemade chicken cutlet parmesan, I’ll be enjoying my veggie version thanks to Lightlife!

I didn’t receive Smart Wings® but I wanted to mention them here because these will be included in the Prize Package ONE Leslie Loves Veggies Winner will be receiving…

• Smart Wings® Honey BBQ Pile these wings on your next party platter, or just make ‘em the surprise starter for a mid-week meal. It’s that kick of tangy sweet sauce that brings out the best in your veggie chick’n.

Smart Wings® Honey BBQ

• Smart Wings® Buffalo Lightlife’s juicy wings are bringing all kinds of sassy sauce to the table, whether it’s a party or a weeknight. So pick up a box and start wingin’ it!
