Few foods are as universally loved by kids as chicken fingers. When we have friends over with their children, we want their kids to eat and enjoy themselves. We are not, however, willing to do that at the expense of compromising our morals by serving them chickens who are arguably the most abused animals on the planet. Sure, we could buy store-bought frozen vegan nuggets, but they can’t compete with the taste of our own vegan version of this childhood staple. These Chick’n Fingers are as delicious as you’d expect but they lack the fat, preservatives, antibiotics, ammonia, pink slime and unfathomable cruelty that are the main ingredients of chicken-derived fingers.

Because we make these with Beyond Meat’s Chicken-Free Strips*, they are lower calorie and higher protein than animal-chicken meat. The bit of extra effort in making these yourself is so worthwhile. You can even involve the kids in the preparation. Because our fingers use a plant-based meat and omega-rich, cholesterol lowering flax seeds, you need not fear the salmonella that often infects people handling raw chicken meat or eggs. Just make sure to supervise the frying if you’re helping your young children make these.

Your kids won’t be able to tell the difference between what they’ve eaten in the past and our vegan version except they’ll probably like our version better. Cruelty free, healthier food and great-tasting, what could be better? After all, if you are going to feed your kids fried food, at least make it as good as possible.

*Beyond Meat Chicken-Free Strips are available at Whole Foods nationwide.
