Healthy Choice Went Gourmet

Thanks to Mom Central I heard about 11 new entries from Healthy Choice. We have always known that Healthy Choice was one of the better options if you are going to eat a microwavable dinner but now we have more and better choices.

Last month, Healthy Choice introduced 11 new entrées to its Café Steamers, All Natural Entrées, and Select Entrées product lines. Nutrient-rich and preservative-free, the new entrées provide even more options for those busy days when you don't have time to prepare a meal from scratch but still want something that's delicious AND good for you.

I was excited to join this campaign because sometimes cooking for 1 is just plain annoying. The kids only eat 2-3 different things and my husband is always on his own kick so sometimes popping something in the microwave is the only way I eat.

The campaign I was included on was the All Natural Entrees'
All Natural Entrees

All-natural ingredients such as pumpkin, asparagus, nine-grain pastas, and 100% extra virgin olive oil are highlighted in our line of new All Natural Entrées, which includes four vegetarian options. Each contemporary recipe was crafted to deliver delectable food packed full of nutrition.
  • High in fiber for digestive health
  • Antioxidents such as lycopene and vitamins A and C
  • Low in fat and saturated fat
Expecting a coupon I was surprised when a cooler with 2 entries was delivered. Awesome, I could get started right away and btw..I was hungry.

The first one I tried was Roast Red Pepper Marinara - Fire-roasted red peppers, roasted garlic, and tangy marinara sauce complement whole-grain cavatelli pasta. With notes of Chardonnay wine and sea salt, this all-natural meal will tantalize your taste buds.

In a Nutshell: Here is what it looked like..

The proof is in the pasta!

It looks like homemade!
It taste like homemade!
And with well under 300 calories a meal a great alternative to any meal. 

As someone who was raised on pasta my whole life and makes a pretty decent sauce, I am extremely picky about sauce.

I loved it!

The second entree' I received was Creamy Basil Pesto
Garden-fresh flavor of broccoli and tomatoes with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, Chardonnay wine, and creamy basil pesto. Mixed with whole-grain cavatappi and topped with mozzarella cheese, this vegetarian dish is both wholesome and delectable.

I didn't manage to get a photo of the dish because I ate it on the fly. This is also one of the best parts of these entree's you can bring them with you. Just pop it in a handy dandy microwave wherever you are. Perfect for eating at work!

Why not have a healthy, yummy lunch at work? Perfect!

  1. Their new stuff is actually pretty good. I especially enjoy the Portabella Marsala Pasta. I was also impressed with the Slow Roasted Turkey Medallions. Yummy!

  2. Since marrying Italian, I can't eat any sore bought pasta or sauce. I make all my own. It's a lot of work, but you really notice the difference in taste. Good post, but I couldn't fathom eating it.

  3. I love Healthy Choice meals, especially the Pumpkin Squash ravioli. I've got some of their lobster ravioli to try in the freezer. Yum!
