So, you may have heard me shouting from the rooftops about the VeganEgg
The VeganEgg is vegan, of course, which means egg- and dairy-free, and it is also soy-free, gluten-free, and Non-GMO. One serving, equal to one egg, has 40 calories with one gram of protein, 1.5 grams of fat, and 4 grams of fiber.
The VeganEgg is made by Follow Your Heart, which also makes a variety of plant-based dressings, cheeses, dips, and, of course, the best vegan mayo, Vegenaise. They did not pay me or give me any free stuff to write this. I’m just a true fan.
Fortunately, I ordered my VeganEgg as soon as I received an email that it was available on Amazon. I’d checked a couple other sites, several of which were already sold out, and the average price for a carton (equal to a dozen eggs) was around $7.50.
It was the same on Amazon, but with Amazon Prime I saved several dollars in shipping charges. The VeganEgg was an add-on item though, which meant the order had to be purchased along with something else that totaled at least $25.
I chose to purchase four cartons, showing my confidence in Follow Your Heart, as well as in the reviews I had read up until that time. Hence the giveaway. I will be giving two people one carton each of the VeganEgg. Enter using the Rafflecopter below the recipe.
The VeganEgg arrived on Wednesday afternoon. Thursday was Thanksgiving, bringing a 3:00 am wake up, Turkey Trot, food prep, and total exhaustion by the end of the day, so I didn’t get a chance to try it until Friday. I followed directions, which are very simple, two tablespoons of VeganEgg and 1/2 cup of ice-cold water equal one egg. I doubled up.
It was somewhat amazing to me to watch it cook. Seriously, it looked just like a scrambled egg, as I stirred it while it gradually got firmer. The directions say it takes longer than a real egg, but it still seemed to cook very quickly.
A quick taste told me that it was a little bland. It didn’t really have the “eggy taste” that I was expecting. It certainly looked like the real thing, but the taste was a little lacking. To compensate, I added pepper and some Kala Namak (Himalayan Black Salt)
The VeganEgg Omelette
I was just getting started though. I was determined to make my first ever vegan omelette! I just knew I could make it delicious. And I did! The key was adding the black salt directly into the VeganEgg mix before I cooked it. It was perfect.

You may notice by my pictures that my first omelette didn’t have avocado, even though it’s in the recipe. That simply because I was out, a fact I remedied by the time I made my second omelette! Actually, you can use any vegetables that you like, use vegan cheese or not, as you prefer, or make other changes to make the omelette perfect for you.
The VeganEgg will also substitute for any eggs used in baking. I can’t wait to try it out!
What would you put into your perfect omelette?

I need to send a box of follow your heart EVERYTHING to my vegan bff.
She MISSES EGGS (I know amazon is sold out. sad face) and would ADORE these.
I really wanna try em as well.
Who knows?
I may shift to yer path some day!
<3
Whenever you’re ready I’m here to help guide you down the path 🙂
Very very interesting. I’ve been following you as you’ve posted about it. Does it smell like egg? Because that might be my deal breaker (you know me and yolks)
The black salt makes it smell eggier, so you might use less or skip it all together. Without it, it doesn’t smell eggy at all.
I did see all of your excited posts about this the last few days! I am glad you found a product to give you all the taste of am omelet. I’ve never tried any of the egg replacements-interesting! Thanks so much for linking up with us for Meatless Monday. Have a wonderful week!
All other egg replacements were designed for baking, similar to a flax egg. This is the first time you can actually scramble it! Some people have a hard time giving up cheese, for me it was eggs, so yes, I’m a bit excited 🙂
This is so interesting, I will have to check it out! Thanks so much for linking up 🙂
Thanks Annmarie! It’s pretty exciting stuff, both for vegans and for people who can’t eat eggs too!
VeganEgg sound amazing, I will check it out. I never tried adding avocado to scrambled eggs, but I will now. Looks good!
Oooh, avocado is good on just about everything 🙂
For me, eggs HAVE to have garlic. That is how my mom made them since I was a young girl, and I am hooked!
Yes, garlic would be delicious! Funny how we love things the way our moms made them. I’m still trying to duplicate my mom’s oatmeal (she’d add milk, eggs, brown sugar, and beat it until it was really smooth).
I can’t believe how real these vegan eggs look! I was searching around for them but couldn’t find them – I’ll have to keep my eye out for when they restock on Amazon.
Your omelette looks delicious!
They sold out fast! Maybe you’ll one one 🙂
I LOVE omelettes and my favorite things to add are mushrooms, bell peppers, cracked black pepper, and cashew cheese! I would share with my vegan friends too, they’re dying to try this!
Thank you for sharing! The more the merrier :-). I made my first cashew cheese a couple months ago and you’re right it would be delicious. Time to whip up some more!
Vegan omelettes, wow! This looks really good, I’d be curious to know how it tastes! Pinning!
It tastes like eggs! At least my memory of them 🙂
I missed out before they were sold out but can’t wait to try this!
My perfect omelette… spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and lots of avocado! Pink Himalayan salt, fresh ground pepper, and maybe some fresh herbs to top it off!
I think the pink salt is the same as the black salt (because the black salt is pink, if that makes sense 😛 ). I’m getting hungry now. Maybe an omelette for dinner!
as a New Mexican of a few months now…green chile!!
Now that sounds good. I love salsa or chiles in my omelettes.
Ah, you tried it! Haha! I usually make vegan omlettes and scrambles with the good old chickpea flour!
I’ve never made them with flour. I usually make a tofu scramble, but this was really quick and easy (and gluten free!).
Yum! I add sriracha to my eggs!
Ooh, I love sriracha or tabasco with eggs. And hash browns. Yum!
As a vegan, I’m so excited to try this! I miss scrambled eggs at times. I’m likely to make those as well as mock ham omelettes.
Eggs were one of the hard things for me to give up, so I’m excited about this (obviously 🙂 ).
Mushrooms and onions with salsa on top! Yum!
I almost added salsa to this omelette. It does sound good.
Oooh Yumm! Looks interesting and delicious!
It is! You really need to try it!
This is LIFE changing, I never knew this would even exist one day and when I was vegan I would have stood in line for these, thanks for sharing xo C
That’s a great way to describe. I really feel that it is life changing.
how very interesting! I would definitely try it!
I hope you get a chance to try it! It’s a great option not only for vegans but for people who have egg allergies too.
Woah!! So cool!! That omelette looks so beautiful 🙂
Oh wow, this is so cool! I love omelettes so much (the more veggies the better) and this is such a great way to veganize the whole thing.
Looks amazing! I love spinach and pesto in my omelette. 🙂
I love omelettes, I put kale, peppers, onion, and tomatoes in them usually! I would love to try this!
I love omelettes with lots of veggies, like onions and bell peppers, and salsa on top.
I usually just get an egg white omelet with a ton of veggies (especially love mushrooms, spinach, and garlic) and topped with sriracha or another flavorful hot sauce. I’d definitely like to try out the vegan egg for myself. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
This looks pretty yummy. I have never heard of the vegan egg, so that’s something I need to look for.
I have been vegetation for about 3 years now, I recently decided to take out dairy, fish and meat from my diet. My daughter and I have been having some belly issues going on. I figured going vegan might help both us, but she wants to continue to eat honey. I am not sure what to call our diet now. I was so worried there was no option for baking and eggs. Thanks for this great recipe. Definitely pinning it! I will be following you on some Social Media sites too!
Thanks,
JEM
