Nature Boy

Picked up a «Vegan Eggless Spicy ‘Chicken’ wrap» from my local health food store today for lunch. This is not a good sandwich. I tried to pick one that the ends didn’t look soggy, but, it’s soggy anyway. Some of the vegetables have crunch still at least. Just tastes weird, really weird and bad. I get a chemical-​y taste from this and the whole thing is greasy. Also, the wrap has about 40 ingredients as per the label. WHY? I know it isn’t that hard to make wraps, and all those 40 ingredients didn’t help anything at all. Wrap is weird, filling is weird. And I’ve been vegan for over a year so I’m no stranger to going slightly outside my comfort zone. Never again. I hope this doesn’t make sick.

I have no idea how Nature Boy wraps made their way to my local 7 – 11 in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, but there they are, next to the sausage, egg and cheese on a biscuit and the chicken sandwiches. I LOVE Nature Boy wraps. I just ate a Spicy Tofu Vegan wrap, and have also had their vegan meatless-​chicken and eggless-​egg salad wraps. They are really substantial– stuffed with protein (tofu), crunchy vegetables (but not TOO crunchy, I am guessing they blanch them slightly?), and really delicious vegan dressings, making them really moist and tasty. I would eat these every day if I could afford it… they are that good. And made with really, healthy, fresh-​tasting stuff. The spicy wraps ARE spicy, fyi; and almost all of the sandwiches have aggressive, distinctive, somewhat tart tastes– like a sandwich dressed with a good oil and vinegar dressing. If you like bland food, these are not for you. But if you like fresh, piquant flavor and robust, healthy ingredients, i’m guessing you’ll love these things…

not delicious. second and last time i’d buy this product. vegan eggless chicken wrap. bought at deli in brooklyn. sandwich is bitter. exp date over 2 weeks from now so that ain’t the problem. they need to tweek the recipe so the sandwich has more flavor and IS NOT BITTER. this matches my first experience tasting a nature boy vegan wrap. and the website listed on their label does not exist? seems sketchy.
if this store is not the same nature boy as the product i bought, apologies. and i’ll take down this review.
