ALL YOU magazine asked us if we would be willing to review the new All Natural Michelina’s Lean Gourmet frozen meals. I will first mention that I was a bit hesitant. We love Lo Mein and didn’t know how the frozen bowl would stack up. We’ve had our fair share of frozen meals that just didn’t taste right nor were they really healthy. Well, Cassie and I both decided to try the Sesame Lo Mein and we both were decently pleased after we took our first bite. We think we overcooked it just a bit as the noodles weren’t quite as firm as we would expect (just watch the time you cook it). But the sesame flavor was perfectly balanced – it wasn’t overpowering or too subtle. Plus the veggie combination seemed to have just the right combination as well.
But what we truly loved as well is that the meals are All Natural. How often can you get a frozen meal knowing you’re not consuming preservatives or any of those chemicals you can’t pronounce on the ingredients list? The whole wheat noodles combined with the vegetables and the sweet & spicy sesame sauce were just the right combination – and all with a lower sodium level than you would expect in a frozen meal. For a quick and convenient meal on the go, the All Natural bowls do seem to meet the bill.
But you know we love to do everything for less! So if you want to check out the all natural bowls yourself, you can try it using the following deal scenario at Walmart (prices may vary per store):
