Meat The Alternative Beef Style Meatballs

300g, £3.50, Waitrose

Per 100g: Calories, 164; saturated fat, 2.1g; protein, 22.1g; sugar, 1.3g; salt, 0.82g; fibre, 4.2g THESE have the highest protein content of all the products reviewed here — an amount equivalent to beef meatballs.

This is because they use soya protein isolate ( a concentrated version of protein) as well as straight soya protein. A half-pack serving also provides a fifth of your daily fibre, needed for a healthy gut, and contains a quarter of the saturated fat of regular meatballs. They are on the high side for salt content though.

TASTE: Meat-like texture with a nice hint of onion.
