VANALife's Foods Plant based Ready Meal - Green Chickpea Superfood Bowl Heat and Eat Microwaved Cooked Bowl | Product of the USA (Chipotle & Black Bean, 6-Pack)

I love this stuff. It’s an indulgence, as they’re pricey, but still a nice, yummy, quick dish from the microwave. Serve over some rice for a great meal.

Such a wonderful plant based meal. Add rice or eat out the pouch. It has a little heat that satisfies your appetite. I highly recommend.

These bowls taste great and are very convenient. I’ll say that I didn’t realize that I was getting the coconut lime bowl until it arrived, and I was very hesitant to try it. That’s not a flavor profile I’m normally drawn to. Needless to say, the chipotle is my favorite out of the two. I think both taste great and I’m glad there’s no aftertaste! As an adult who’s allergic to dairy, it’s very important that the products have zero dairy ingredients. So many products claim to be dairy free, but still use milk protein! So, It’s a challenge find great tasting dairy free vegan or plant based products. However, these bowls are good and I will most definitely add them to my list of dairy free foods!

I'm going to buy more. It is easy to eat, a great addition to a meal or just a snack. The taste is fine - it has a lot of peas. And it's just the right amount in the package, which is microwavable.

Convenient

I've been trying to eat more plant based food & this one is so good! It has a little kick to it but I love that! I ordered this in Feb for $31.99 & now in June it's $49.99. Won't be ordering again!

This is a tasty combo and a healthy meal. I noticed that the illustration shows a serving size of a half-cup, but the packets I received indicate that the entire 10-ounce package is a single serving. I’ve been adding rice to bulk it up a little more, but that’s just a personal option and not something it really needs to be tasty. The ingredients are all “real,” including tomatoes, corn, beans, bell peppers and olive oil in addition to the chickpeas, and the spice level is fairly mild, even though it’s called chipotle. It has no cholesterol, 390 mg of sodium, 34 carbs, 9 g of fiber, and no added sugar. It heats up easily in the pouch in a microwave and would make a super-easy lunch to carry to work—just add spoon!

I'm quite pleased with this chickpea bowl (Southern Chipotle & Black Bean Curry). The flavors are well balanced, providing a tasty dish as-is right out of the pouch, or as a meal component. There's enough sauce to make this a good topper for items such as couscous, quinoa, rice, or similar bases, but I would not describe it as runny -- it's a substantial mix.The heat level is just right for me. It's enough to be noticeable but not so much to be overwhelming. Even those in the household who are not fans of spice heat found it good, although they much preferred it as a topping so that the heat level was cut, rather than have it as-is.Prep is about as easy as it can be: pull open the pouch and microwave it for a minute or so. The pouch stands up just fine on its own and, while you can hear some popping when heating it, nothing splashed out of the pouch. Still, it's probably best to open up just half of the top rather than the entire top to prevent any potential microwave mess.The flavor and range of textures in the mix make for a very enjoyable dish, and it has a solid nutritional profile. Very pleased - 5 stars.
