We got the opportunity to try some of the ConAgra Foods. While I was familiar with the Banquet (mmm...fried chicken and kid-favorite chicken nuggets) and Marie Callender's (mmmm...pot pie) offerings, I have to say that I was very pleased to have discovered (re-discovered?) the Healthy Choice line. I had noticed them at the grocery before, and we may have even bought a dinner or two sporadically, but when I really studied them, there was so much to try out!
Healthy Choice has a large selection including Alll-Natural entrees, Complete Meals, Select Entrees, Cafe Steamers, Fresh Mixers and Soups.
The Healthy Choice Line emphasizes fiber, protein, whole grains as well as vitamins and anti-oxidants.
The All-Natural Entrees are high in fiber and protein and they even list Weight Watchers POINTS. My favorite of those was the Pumpkin Squash Ravioli. It's a little on the sweet side, but I loved it, and the kids did, too after a little trepidation at trying something with pumpkin and squash. The serving size was reasonable, sometimes I get annoyed with "healthy" entrees since it seems like it's never enough food, but I was satisfied with this one.
Of the Cafe Steamers line, I am totally stuck on Roasted Beef Merlot. These meals are really good, there's actual vegetables that taste and look like vegetables! These are a little different than the standard microwave meal, there's a ventilated top plastic dish, containing the main course, and the bottom dish is underneath and contains the sauce. After they cook, you mix them together.
Check them all out, I think you'll like them!
I always try to keep some decent frozen meals on hand since we are out of the house a lot in the evenings, especially during the fall sports seasons. These are great, the kids like them and my middle child, a growing 13 year old boy, has even been known to cook up one for a snack.
I was given a Wal-mart gift card to try out Marie Callender’s, Banquet and Healthy Choice meals. Blogging about the meals, the Take a Moment & Make it Delicious Facebook contest was optional. No other compensation was received, I just thought you might like to enter the contest and we really liked the Healthy Choice meals, in particular. That's all, really.
