  1. I really need to learn how to make my own pea protein products. It’s sad that this is one of the more affordable options.

  2. Reminder that Costco item selections can be very regional – please tell us which store in which city! Even two stores within the same metropolitan area can have different items available.

    Also, was this any good?

  3. While this is great and all, I wish companies would knock it off with the weird apostrophe names. Be’f, Ch’kn, etc. “Plant-based meat” gets the message across. “Me’eat” looks silly and pretentious, Imagine if non-dairy milks were all “m’lk.”

  4. I buy this at Walmart and I love it! I have to force myself not to eat the entire contents in one meal.

  5. I am intrigued, but also cautious buying an item I never tried in bulk. Is it better than impossible ground beef + Trader Joe’s taco seasoning (this combo is 🔥).

  6. I’ve tried this stuff – it’s good! It is flavored to taste like ground beef with taco seasoning in it, so I found limited uses for it. Mostly tacos (duh), casseroles, or rice bowls where I need a quick protein and have run out of actual chickpeas.

  7. Trader Joe’s is getting in a new shelf-stable pea protein-based faux ground meat sometime this week. At least in the NYC stores. It’s 3+ ounces and needs to be rehydrated. Haven’t tried it yet.

    Somebody explain this to a German that uses metric, why does it say 4/4.5 ounces cost like 19 dollar, which seems ridiculous to Me, but in the corner it say 1 dollar per ounce.
    Does 4/4.5 mean something.
    It’s really bothering that nothing seems to make sense 😀

  9. I love Costco. Plant-based taco meat next to the Trident gum family pack. Just like you’d expect!

  10. I looked at the Rollin greens website, and they sell a 3pack of variety flavors, same 4.5 oz size, for $29.99, so this Costco bundle seems to be a great price, close to a 50% discount.

  11. I’m curious… why would someone that isn’t a “meat eater” want to eat something that tastes like meat? Serious question.

    I mean if you’re a “reformed meat eater” and you still think meat is delicious then I can understand. Is that who these products are made for?

    P. S. Not hating’. I eat meat and I don’t fault those that do not. Just curious what your thought processes are.
