Let’s be real — few things in life hit the spot like a schnitty. That crunch. That comfort. That “ahh” moment after the first bite. But what if we told you all that golden goodness could come without the chicken?

Enter the Love Buds Chook-Free Schnitzel, your new weeknight hero that’s taking comfort food to the next (plant-based) level. It’s big, bold, and beautifully crispy — the kind of meal that makes you wonder, “Wait, this is vegan?”

The Schnitty Reinvented

This isn’t your average “healthy substitute.” This is schnitzel — done better.

Made from premium soy protein, seasoned with herbs and spices, and coated in a perfectly golden crumb, the Love Buds Chook-Free Schnitzel delivers the crunch and satisfaction you’d expect from the pub classic — without the compromise.

It’s hearty, juicy, and full of that nostalgic flavour that hits right in the feels. Only now, it’s kinder to the planet and 100% plant-based.

How to Make It Your Own

Think of this schnitzel as a blank (golden) canvas. Here are a few ways to let it shine:

Stack It: Pop it in a burger bun with slaw and vegan mayo — a proper Aussie classic.

What You'll Need:

 - 1 pack Love Buds Chook-Free Schnitzel
 - 125 g red cabbage
 - 50 g carrot
 - 1 head baby Romaine lettuce
 - 1/2 cucumber
 - 1/2 apple
 - 1 lemon
 - 2 long sandwich buns
 - 2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
 - 1 tsp agave syrup
 - A few sprigs of dill
 - A bit of salt
 - Some pepper

How to Build the Ultimate Chook-Free Schnitzel Burger

1. Make a Refreshing Coleslaw

Finely slice the red cabbage, carrot, and apple into thin strips. Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, a spoonful of vegan mayonnaise, and a sprinkle of finely chopped dill.

2. Prepare the Cucumber Salad Base

Gently squeeze the salad mix with your fingertips to help the flavours blend quickly. Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber into thin ribbons, then season with lemon juice, a drizzle of honey (or agave for a vegan option), and a touch of salt and pepper.

3. Toast the Buns & Cook the Schnitzels

Slice your burger buns in half and lightly toast the cut sides in a hot frying pan until golden brown. Then, cook the Love Buds Chook-Free Schnitzels according to the package instructions — fry until crisp and golden.

4. Build Your Burger

Spread vegan mayo on the bottom half of each bun and layer on a few fresh lettuce leaves. Add a generous portion of your coleslaw, then top it with the hot, crispy schnitzel.

5. Serve & Enjoy the Crunch!

Finish with a few cucumber ribbons and an extra spoonful of coleslaw on top, then crown it with the toasted bun. Serve immediately and enjoy every crunchy, juicy, plant-powered bite.
