Morning Star Farms and Gardein make "chicken"-flavored strips, patties, and nuggets as well as "beef" and "pork" flavored shreds and patties. Some I use, some I do not because they have too much sodium and/or protein and I usually prepare less than the standard serving. Right now I don't have to limit protein but as an almost vegan (the only animal product I use is egg white) several combinations of vegetables=a complete protein indistinguishable from meat protein even on a molecular level.
Also, Daiya and Go Veggie "cheese" flavored products are a good choice for me, approved by my nephrologist as long as I am in stage 3.
I'll post more recipes later.
