Surprisingly pleasant experience
I was surprised how much I actually liked the veggie bowl...I liked the cheesy top, than the crunchiness of I believe chick peas and the rest was very flavor full too...Over all, I would buy it again

Good... for a veggie dish
I've generally been impressed with Morningstar meatless products but this one fell a little short. There was just no real substance to the. It was all kind of mushy with no variety in texture. That said, the flavor was good so it at least gets 3 stars.

easy to use
I found that the breakfast sausage taste quite like regular sausage. It was quite delicious.

Good quality
I would have to say that I was impressed with the quality of this morning star Italian sausage veggie Bowl it did have a pretty good flavor. The only thing is I felt like the texture was a little bit off and different but after getting used to it I actually enjoyed it a lot

Just Ok
The serving size of this bowl was very small. It had a weird texture, a little to saucy, but the taste was alright. Not something I would buy again, but not terrible either.

Decent alternative, could be better
For what it is, the flavour was ok, but could be improved. I normally don't eat meat free, but it was still ok.

Great Meatless breakfast bowl
I found that Morningstar Farms Italian Sausage Bake Veggie Bowl tasted great and was very filling. It is a nice Meatless breakfast alternative.

Don't Expect What The Box Shows
I followed the instructions and heated the meal up for nearly 7 minutes in the microwave. That seemed like a long time to me. After the 6 and 45 seconds where up I let it sit for a minute as recommended. It looked like everything was pretty fried from being nuked for so long. At this point it looked nothing at all like the box image. I stirred it up and began eating. It had a good taste. It was mainly chickpeas and sauce. I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't say it reminded me of a sausage bowl. Then again I think a lot of the meatless items fall short of the item they claim to be similar to. I would rather they just say what they are instead of claiming to be similar to something they aren't.

Refreshing
I don't like really heavy breakfasts and lunches because this doesn't have meat it is just right.

Flavorful
I found this product to be enticing with the spinach and zucchini (my two favorite veggies) but was hesitant to try the "fake" sausage! I was pleasantly surprised with the taste though and thrilled with the high protein and fiber! Also the extremely low calorie count for something so fulfilling and flavorful!

Average for veggie bowl
It was difficult to find this vegetarian breakfast bowl. It definitely had a rich taste of spices, that was the best thing about it. unfortunately the veggies were very mushy and easily seen (like eggplant and carrots) and not how I wanted to start my day eating something like baby food.

pleasantly surprised
I thought this product tasted great. It was cheesy and delicious. It provides alot of protein and is quick to prepare. I knew that Morningstar Star products tasted good but this surpassed my expectations.

The veggie bowl was a great breakfast alternative.

a yummy lunch and I bet a yummy breakfast
This was a yummy lunch. It was easy to prepare and a surprise when I consumed it. It wasn't one that is yucky and hard to get thru, the texture was good and the taste was good. The only thing I found was the salt was a bit much for my taste
Verified member
Much to expensive for the quality and taste
Small quantity of food, much too expensive, taste was not very good in my opinion

MorningStar meatless sausage bakes are good
I tried the MorningStar meatless sausage breakfast bowl and was pleasantly surprised. Usually I do not like meat substitution foods but this tasted good and was filling to tide me over until lunch. Who knew something good for you can taste good.

Not great, but not horrible
The flavors of the Italian Sausage Bake Veggie Bowl were good, but confusing and strange. The consistency of the bowl was runny and the other ingredients were like lumps in a soup. The product wasn't bad, but for the price I expected a lot more. Not the greatest product from Morningstar Farms.

There was something chewy that didnt belong
I enjoyed the spinach and the chickpeas. I did not like what was to be the sausage. It was something kind of gummy in the mix of my veggies. I did not like that. I think it would have been ok without the gummy fake sausage. Good mix of veggies.

Better Than Expected
I honestly didn't think I'd like the sausage veggie bowl; normally I don't eat sausage, both because it's not very healthy and I often find sausage too spicy. To my surprise, I really liked this! It was easy and quick to prepare since it only took a few minutes in the microwave and I like the nutritionals relatively well because this is veggie sausage and doesn't have as much fat as "regular" sausage. It also wasn't too spicy and paired well with the cheese, sauce, and veggies which were also in the bowl. Although I was skeptical prior to consuming, I would definitely purchase this again.

Middle of the road...
I love MSF foods, I keep the veggie burger patties fully stocked in my freezer. Entrees seem to be all the rage presently, GFMS, EVOL, Sweet Earth, etc. For me, this was acceptable, taste was amazing, but price + size/offfering + nutritional information. If it were $0.50 lower in cost, 15% larger in portion and a step down in Sat Fats (25% for a small dish) this would be ideal. As it is, this is definitely geared more towards those with very busy schedules, for others, unless on a reduced calorie diet this will definitely leave the "others" grouchy, grazing and with very little room in that diet for an equivalently sized dinner or lunch. I'd give MSF entrees another go, just not this specific one,

Good quality ingredients, Weak in Flavor
The Morning Star Italian Sausage Veggie Bowl Bake was made of good quality ingredients. The Veggie Bowl was not seasoned as it should have been and tasted flat.

Satisfying "Sausage" Bowl
Morningstar Farms Italian Sausage Bake Veggie Bowl is a perfect bowl to start your morning or have for lunch at work. Easy to microwave, delicious and filling.

Very good
It was beyond my expectation. I like veggie food, that looks and tastes like meat, but not from actually animal meat. This one was really good. I really enjoyed it. I would buy again.

So delicious!
Oh my goodness, this was so delicious! I would never have thought that was meatless if I didn't already know. It had such great flavor and a good nutrition profile. Love it!

Satisfying vegetarian meal
I found this meal very good tasting. It satisfied my hunger. The taste was great. I liked the fact it had a lot of protein.

Good taste but pretty empty
The taste was pretty good. Because of the sauce I would say it's more along the lines of brunch or lunch. The chickpeas were very dry almost like they weren't cooked enough. There was also very little in the container. I was all hungry.

Convenient, low calorie, high protein:)
This Morningstar Farms Italian Sausage Bake Veggie Bowl was pretty good; it's low in calories--240; high in protein-14 grams and has 6 grams of fiber per serving; only bad thing is it is high in sodium coming in at 700 mg per serving; I added an egg to the last 20 minutes of baking and also added red pepper flakes, black pepper and some avocado; made a yummy breakfast; this is something I would keep on hand to have occasionally as a treat and when I didn't feel like cooking from scratch which I normally do.

Very tasty for a meatless meal!
This product is a great addition to my meatless lunch meal rotation. It was easy to prepare, tasted really good and the calorie content was right in line with what I would like to consume at lunch. This was definitely a winner and a keeper in my household!
