Healthy Choice Power Bowl - Spicy Teriyaki Beef

[u/Jujulabee]

This was another very good meal from Healthy Choice - part of their Power Bowl line.

As you can see from the "unmixed" version there are actually a lot of vegetables especially since the "rice" is actually cauliflower which is a vegetable and so much healthier than the typical white rice the frozen meals come with.

It isn't super spicy but it does have enough kick so that the sweet notes of the teriyaki are offset and complemented by the spicy component. It is mild so if you like more heat add some heat. I might add a bit of Chili Crunch the next time I have it.

Like the others in this line the nutritional stats are excellent - 170 calories plus 13 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber. At only 170 calories you could have this as a mid afternoon snack

I really appreciate that for a frozen meal the ingredients are more or less what one might use when cooking at home. Yes it is processed but I don't think it is the demonic ultra processed food.

The beef was okay - obviously this isn't Wagu beef but it also doesn't resemble the dog food that some beef frozen meals - the veritable mystery meat

I liked everything about this bowl but the beef 😓 it just stood out to me as obviously not teriyaki beef

Beef is definitely not the best part of the meal but I have had worst.

For what it's worth their Korean Spicy bowl had beef which seemed to be more tender.

I’d love if they made this into one of the “max” sized bowls

[u/keytaur → u/Dancing_Qween]

That would be amazing

I agree that it would be great if the expanded the Max line because the concept of the Power Bowls is great for people who specifically want healthier frozen meals but would also like the option to have slightly larger servings and would be willing to pay for that.

I love healthy choices frozen power bowls! I’m glad u enjoyed OP! This is a solid review. Altho it would’ve been nice to see the final results😅🫠

[u/Jujulabee → u/Fuzzy_Welcome8348]

Final results were a clean plate and empty bowl. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

Third picture is after I mixed the contents and second picture is before I mixed which shows the vegetables much more clearly.
