I launched into Healthy Choice’s Chicken Teriyaki without much thought. It was a busy day and I was trying to get a lot done while I ate through lunch. It was fine. I can’t say it really left me with a strong negative or positive impression when it came to taste. The side of vegetables – which included carrots, red peppers, shelled edamame – lacked salt, as is customary with these compartmentalized tray meals. The gingersnap peach crisp was an interesting change. Given that most of these compartmentalized trays boast an apple crisp, it was good to have a different dessert. Admittedly, though, I think I prefer the apple crisp; Healthy Choice has perfected that option a little better than this one.
Near the end of my meal, I grabbed the box to make my notes for this blog and noticed that when compared to other meals I’ve reviewed, this one claims quite a bit of nutritional content. In the details at the end of each blog entry, under “notable good nutritional content,” I generally note any vitamin/mineral when 20% of the daily value is contained in the product. For a few meal reviews, I’ve had only one or two items to list. Having *seven* might be a record for this blog. I, for one, take pride in the times when I make a truly healthy choice for a lunchtime meal, and this is one I can really feel good about.
