Chickenless Mix Vegetables - OU parve


This seems to be a new product. Single serving size vegetarian meals that really are like their Chinese restaurant meat counterparts.

We tried Chickenless Mix Vegetables. It looked terrible frozen but heated up to almost what they show on the picture on the box. It tastes good and my son the vegetarian liked it. The downside is it's not cheap, especially compared to some of he imported veggie frozen stuff that has been on sale in the supermarkets.

A short list of ingredients. All things I recognize, but not organic. A lot of sodium, but that's expected. Plenty of fibre too. Another big plus is that it comes in a microwavable and conventional oven proof plastic dish. Good for traveling.

On our scale, 4 out of 5. Another half point will be awarded if it goes on sale.
