I learned that nitrites in meat hotdogs are linked to an increase occurrence of Leukemia in children. So I was excited to discover these vegetarian meatless Corn Dogs at Trader Joe’s. My kids LOVE these and they do not even know they are meatless. Each Trader Joe’s Corn Dog has 4-grams of protein (WOW). TJ’s Corn Dogs contain 65% LESS FAT (3.5 grams) and only 160 calories compared to my old nitrite meat corndog brand (10 grams of fat and 410 calories). A fun food that is good for you as well. Amazing!! There is another brand, Morningstar Farms that makes meatless corndogs. However, Trader Joe’s are just as good/better (same company making it for them???) and $2 to $3 less per box (depending on what grocery store you shop). That is a HUGE savings. I prefer to cook them in the oven versus the microwave. But many times my kids cannot wait and heat in the microwave without my help. Either way, everyone wins… Trader Joe’s Meatless Corn Dogs are sold in a 10 ounce box with four Meatless Corn Dogs – in the freezer section. Just heat and serve.
