We do our best to lead a healthy lifestyle. Our preference is eating a plant-based diet. (Although, on occasion, I like to refer to David as a ‘cheating vegan.’) We stay physically active, usually with brisk morning walks. We keep our minds and spirits active with volunteer service work, reading, and enjoying the company of family and friends. Living this way makes for a fulfilling life for us. And most often a busy life! While most all our meals are made from scratch with fresh ingredients, we’re always on the lookout for healthy frozen plant-based meal choices for those extra special busy days.
A few of our favorite well-known brands have just made our busy day schedules a whole lot easier.
Let’s start with Birds Eye, that’s been around since the 1920s. Fact is David and I grew up with Birds Eye and we’re happy to see that they’ve been quick to cater to those of us who want plant-based healthy food choices without artificial preservatives and flavors.
Birds Eye’s new OvenRoasters Sheet Pan Vegetables are a delicious addition to any busy day meal. OvenRoasters are currently available in three varieties:
– Broccoli and Cauliflower
– Brussels Sprouts and Carrots
– Red Potatoes and Onions
We served up the Broccoli and Cauliflower and could not have been happier. Seriously! Preheat the oven, place the frozen veggies on a sheet pan, roast them in the oven and enjoy. That’s it!
The vegetables are already perfectly pre-seasoned with sea salt, black pepper and herbs. The directions call for the pan to be lightly greased, however we choose not to do so, and all was well. They didn’t stick one bit to our baking stone, which is all the better.
Another of our favorite brands is Gardein.
Gardein has come through for us on so many occasions when it comes to plant-based meatless options. Even our meat eating grandchildren love Gardein!
Gardein’s new Nashville Hot Chick’n Tenders are juicy plant-based faux chicken pieces breaded with a kick of spice!
And we’re here to tell you they really do have a spicy kick!
Gardein’s new Pea + Wheat protein brought a whole new selection of entrees to market, including:
– Nashville Hot Chick’in Tenders
– Gochujang style chick’n wings
– Chipotle Georgia Style Chick’n wings
– Crispy golden chick’n nuggets.
As always with Gardein all are certified vegan, non-GMO, dairy-free, and kosher.
I have to say… I’m more than a little excited about a bit of pea protein in these new and delicious entrees!
And now for the new Healthy Choice vegan and veggie bowls!
Nothing beats a healthy veggie bowl after a busy day with little time to prepare a healthy meal. David and I are big on quick and easy meals after a long (but rewarding) day of volunteer work. We enjoyed the convenience of the Healthy Choice Falafel & Tahini Power Bowl. Everything about it is delicious!
The Mediterranean crispy falafel with red onions and tomatoes combine perfectly with a creamy sesame tahini sauce over nutrient-rich red quinoa, black barley, and kale.
And I didn’t have to do a thing except put it in the microwave!
Healthy Choice actually has a huge variety of Power Bowls. Twenty total, with two vegan and six vegetarian options. Something for everyone. I for one can’t wait to give the Cauliflower Curry a go!
So, there you have it. Our favorite go-to healthy frozen plant-based meal choices. We love great food options that make our lives easier while staying with our plant-based lifestyle.
