Amy's

[anodekraft]

Does anyone have anything wonderful to say about Amy's products?

They are such a weakness for me...especially their tomato soups.

[stonecrest]

i'm a big fan of amy's butternut squash soup! throw some veggies and beans in there, mmm...

i also like amy's tomato sauces and texas/california burgers.

[Veggiegirl]

I like a lot of her products especially her California burgers.

[SallyK]

My weakness is the roasted veggie pizza or the roasted veggie pocket!! Yummy!

[missleigh]

I like the black bean enchilada meals for a quick lunch. I also love the lentil soup, and the pasta and three bean soup.

[scareyvegan]

i have some bad things to say about them

why does their soy cheese contain dairy byproducts, why do most of the items that would be vegan contain honey???

it seems that a very low percentage of their products is vegan

but ill be nice and say.... its nice how amys clearly states what is and isnt vegan on their website

[veganmuncher]

I'm guessing this is an american brand?

Darn, i'm un Uk

You're right. I am one of those naughty vegans who occasionally have some honey. :-/ I am now considering writing to Amy's so the vegan police don't come and arrest me!

Amy's is a great choice for people who want to eat less animal products though. My sister is not a vegetarian, but since I've introduced Amy's to her, she's definitely cut down a lot on meat and dairy. Amy's is one of the few brands of convience foods offered in our little city, which makes it easier for her since she would probably not drive into the big city for her groceries.

I've noticed that amy's keeps getting more and more vegan stuff, and they are clearly labeling them as vegan. I did think it was kinda odd that they included a tiny weenie amount of honey in a few otherwise vegan dishes...but at least theyre not labeled vegan. Im a sucker for the No-Chicken Noodle and Lentil soups...and the vegan pizza...but they kinda skimp on the veggies, so you gotta buy more.

[Epinephrine]

i looove everything amy's but the soy cheese thing also pisses me off.

oh and the last 2 minestrone soups that i got came with 6 and 5.5 beans in them respectively. gggrrrrrr!! :furious:

[Flower]

I eat an Amy's frozen dinner for lunch at work almost every day. Usually the enchilada dinner or asian noodle stir fry. :lick:

I'm also quite fond of the rice & beans burritos, lentil soup and California burgers.

[epski]

I eat Amy's now and again. I like the brand just fine. I also find the honey and soy cheese topics annoying. I'm telling you, the first company to come out with a good truly vegan "cheese" pizza and vegan peanut butter cups (I can't believe these don't already exist -- all you have to do is use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate) will make a small fortune. If I had the means and the time, I'd do it myself!

[VeganChick15]

I love Amy's stuff I eat all the time. I too was exremly disppointed when I found there soy pizza cotained casein. But besdies that I love her stuff!! esspecially hoe she labels stuff. I think someone already said that oh well.

[missleigh]

Not to get totally off subject, (well, only for a minute) Epski, Pangea sells a peanut butter cup! I've gotten them before. See here: http://www.pangeaveg.com/cgi-bin/miva?Merchant2/merchant.mv+Screen=PROD&Store_Code=Pangea&Product_Code=406&Category_Code=otherchoc

[Eva-bo-beva]

also off the subject...I thought the Newman's Own peanutbutter cups were vegan...but I've never had them. I've gotta watch my girlish figure ;)

[scareyvegan]

the pangea ones are pretty dry and disapointing, i thought

i dont think the newmans ones are vegan
i think they have some kind of organic dairy product

back to amys... i forgot to ad that i do think their soups kick *ss

[Joyful-Eyes]

My sister is not a vegetarian, but since I've introduced Amy's to her, she's definitely cut down a lot on meat and dairy.



This is me too, just really trying to cut down on meat and eggs...:)

[blueskies]

I haven't tried many Amy's products since most of them are really expensive over here, but I like their vegan burritos, both the Bean & Rice Burrito and the Black Bean Vegetable Burrito.

"oh and the last 2 minestrone soups that i got came with 6 and 5.5 beans in them respectively. gggrrrrrr!! "

You should feel grateful for that 0.5 bean bonus you got in the "6 can" ;-)

[SallyK]

Epski...you're going to love me forever for telling you this! :smitten:
There is a vegan cheese pizza out there! My local co-op carries it. It must be new because I hadn't seen it there before last week. It's less expensive than Amy's and it was super cheezy. It was delicious!
But the bad thing is that I don't remember the brand name...grrr.
Next time I go to the co-op, I will buy another one and post the info. I'll be going sometime this week I'm sure.

[epski]

Thanks, everyone. I sure hope I can find that vegan "cheese" pizza, Sally, but I've looked pretty hard with no luck, so I've given up hope. I'll just have to keep making my own with Vegan Gourmet Mozzarella. Just in case, I've subscribed to this thread to see if you come back with a name that I can search for. Thanks for doing that!

As for Newman's Own cups, they're definitely not vegan. Believe, me, I checked. :lick: Dry ones don't sound too appealing to me, but I'll give anything with a reasonable price at least one try.

I'm having an Amy's vegan Bean & Rice Burrito tomorrow. I don't like how the burrito sticks to the paper towel and tears apart after I'm done nuking it, but I shouldn't be nuking my foods anyway.

[wild blackberry]

i love the breakfast burrito and shepherd's pie. actually i love everything i've tried of theirs.

i also know a few omnis who eat amy's products because they are so good. usually the pizza pockets and stuff.

when i nuke the burritos i just do it without paper towels because i was so annoyed by them sticking.

and i want to know about the vegan cheese pizza too! though i'm sure i won't be able to buy it here anyway. :(

[Marie]

I like the Texas Burgers.

[scareyvegan]

tofutti makes a vegan cheese pizza

i hear its really delicious too

it comes in 3 bar slices, and allegedly tastes and looks a lot like 'elios pizza (sp?)'

i havent been able to get it done hear yet

[missleigh]

Yeah, tofutti's vegan cheese pizza is really good if made in the oven. It's a guilty pleasure that I succumb to every once in a while.

Oh, and I do also love Amy's canned chili.
