Healthy Choice Baked Entrées

Finally a frozen meal that is both healthy and doesn't taste like chewing on a popsicle stick.  

Crowdtap isn't just about Old Navy and clothing sample shares... I know, who knew?!  I was selected to do a sample share for Healthy Choice.  I wasn't completely thrilled since we actually had to pay out of pocket for this sample share.  There was no FREE product this time, just a link to a coupon for a $1.00 off a Healthy Choice Baked Entrée. The coupon is almost 50% off the retail price but after receiving so much FREE product I think I'm a bit spoiled.  I haven't looked elsewhere but at Wal-mart Healthy Choice Baked Entrees are $2.18 so I only spent $1.18, which really I can't complain about.  

I shared the coupon link with a group of friends on Facebook and sent an email to some who didn't have FB.  So far no one is willing to spend money to try a frozen meal, especially since it's a FROZEN single serving meal that is HEALTHY.  Nothing says EWWWWW, GROSS! more to me than FROZEN & HEALTHY.   I've pleaded and badgered them to no avail but really I can’t blame them.  I, at least, get some compensation…even if it’s only in the form of Crowdtap Points.

There are 6 flavors: 
Fettuccini Alfredo  
Lasagna with Meat Sauce 
Italian Sausage Pasta  
Four Cheese Ziti Marinara 
Roasted Chicken and Potatoes 
Chicken & Rice

I'm not a big fan of Italian food and I was worried when all I was seeing were the Italian flavors but I managed to found one lone box of the Chicken & Rice Bake and a few of the Roasted Chicken & Potatoes Bake.  I chose the Chicken & Rice because it seemed the safest and I actually like Chicken & Rice.  Plus, it's wild rice… yes, please!  Yum!  I actually liked it.  Yes, you read that right…  I actually liked it.  A FROZEN and HEALTHY meal.  I was extremely surprised because I do not eat frozen meals.  They all totally taste like popsicle sticks to me.  If I wanted to chew on a popsicle stick I’d at least eat the yummy popsicle part first, you know.   

The Healthy Choice Bakes are perfect to take to work for lunch, especially if you are on a diet.  If you're not and you're super hungry one Healthy Choice Baked Entree won't be enough but for a Healthy single serving meal it's perfect.  It was a little bland but not too bad and it did have some flavor.  The wild rice was really good, the broccoli tasted exactly like frozen broccoli tastes (good but not as good as fresh broccoli), the cheese sauce was okay (and where I think most of the blandness came from), the chicken was pretty good (I'm usually not a huge fan of microwaved chicken because if it goes bad it goes very bad but this was pretty tasty).  I more than likely will buy a Healthy Choice Chicken & Broccoli Baked Entree again and I think I'll try the Roasted Chicken and Potatoes Bake at some point too.
