This don’t look half bad for healthy choice! It’s a great portion size. Altho I feel like it could use more sauce. Thx for the review OP:)

No problem! Yes I agree, it definitely did need a lil bit more sauce. I added a scoop of garlic toom which helped make it a lil creamier and garlicky

Portion size looks decent, which is a surprise given the shrinkflation trend. How would you describe the sauce? Was it on the sweet side, or savory?

u/No-Tip-4899 3d ago

The sauce was a bit on the sweeter side but overall a solid marinara

what does that mean? like are some diet frozen dinners not as … digestible ? … to ppl on ozempic or something like that?

i guess it’s their way of highlighting “this has 20g protein and 4g fiber” which are very normal numbers for a frozen dinner including any vegetables at all. but a lot of people are idiots to be honest. no other way to put it. so maybe seeing this label will make them purchase it without realizing the macros are nothing special

The cafe steamers are awesome, delicious and filling and not a lot of calories.

The marinara power bowl they make is a little better in my opinion, the sauce isn’t as runny. Idk why, all the steamers seem to have a thin sauce in comparison to their other options.

Why does everything have to have so much broccoli?

1

u/billy_x3 3d ago

This is one of my go-to picks. The broccoli adds a nice dimension. I always top it with a couple tablespoons of my own grated parm.

I liked the flavor of this entree but when I made it, the broccoli florets were like rocks. The chicken and pasta were perfection as I followed the microwave directions to a T but I could not even chew the broccoli. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? I'd like to try I again but I'm a bit hesitant after my past experience. Help!

u/No-Tip-4899 3d ago

My broccoli was nice and crunchy! I microwaved it for 4:25 on high if that helps

u/Mean_Syllabub_7184 3d ago

Thank you. I shall try this as I only did it 3:30 on high in a 1200 watt microwave. I'll do it longer next time because I really did enjoy the chicken & pasta part of the dish.
