Our supermarket frozen food section is full of frozen foods that are marketed as "healthy" options, but are usually filled with sodium and preservatives.
Good food Made Simple recently sent me some samples of its line of frozen foods. They claim to use all natural, simple ingredients that someone would make food at home.
But they are really healthy, as they say?
They offer three varieties of steel had cut oats and given that it is one of my usual breakfast options, I was happy to see how it compares to my homemade version.
Fruit and Berry oat
Serving size: 8 oz (227 g)
Ingredients: Filtered water, steel had cut oats, sweetened cranberries, sugar, common Blueberry, sugary cherries, Maple vermont, panela, salt sea.
2.5 minutes in the microwave and oats was hot and ready to serve. It was creamy, flavorful and I loved the combination of berry. With regard to the ingredients, it is just as you would at home less the vermont maple syrup. However, use fruits or nuts not sweetened. 15 grams of sugar is not bad, but I would suggest that if used fruits not sweetened, they could get to this number down a tad more.
Vermont maple syrup oatmeal
Serving size: 8 oz (227 g)
Ingredients: Filtered water, steel cut oatmeal, Maple vermont, panela, salt sea.
Once again, as above and great tasting. It could have still enjoyed a little less sweet. Perhaps it could eliminate the brown sugar and just use maple syrup. 10 grams of sugar is not bad though.
Plain oats
Serving size: 8 oz (227 g)
Ingredients: Filtered water, steel cut oats, sea salt.
If you want to add their own amounts sugar, stevia or berries, this variety of normal oatmeal it is perfect. It would probably pick this one because it would add frozen blueberries to my oatmeal and just a pinch of brown sugar.
Good food Made Simple has two types of burgers available frozen eggs.
All empanadas egg
Serving size: 2 oz (57 g)
Ingredients: Eggs, clara of egg, whole milk, cornstarch, salt, pepper
These took about one minute to the heat in the microwave and are similar to would be eggs at home, except for corn starch. I tried plain and some cheeses. Even plain, they had a good taste, but the texture was a tad rubber although impressive for a frozen egg product.
Egg patties
Serving size: 2 oz (57 g)
Ingredients: clear of egg, whole milk, cornstarch, salt, pepper
For those on a low cholesterol diet, these are perfect. Once again, are a little rubber, but still tasty even by themselves. I would dare to question 0 grams of fat that is used whole milk. They probably have less than 1 gram for what has not required will be displayed.
Good food Made Simple responds to their claims as soon as I am concerned only natural healthy ingredients and its products were easy to eat. You must choose someone with time to make their own eggs at home and oats this product? Well, only if you have extra cash to burn because their own cheaper way.
However, for people occupied on the fly, good food Made Simple gives some options nice healthy breakfast, frozen.
