With a name that pokes fun at
Jimmy Dean sausages,
Gimme Lean is an amazingly tasty
vegetarian meat substitute from a company called
LightLife. It comes packaged much like
Jimmy Dean sausages, that is in a
plastic wrapper shaped like a
cylinder with the sides capped off by small metal bands.
Gimme Lean can be used in any recipe calling for chop meat,
ground meat or
hamburger meat. It comes in two flavors now,
beef and
sausage.
Nutritionally
Gimme Lean is packed with goodness.
