Helen's Meals

Upon viewing their website I realize that Helen's Kitchen has quite a few meals. Only four were available at my grocery store. Those were the chili, the Indian curry, and both Thai curries. Luckily these four are all gluten free and vegan.

I purchased and very much enjoyed the "Indian Curry with Tofu Steaks Over Rice."



Nutrition: This item has 270 calories, very appropriate for a small meal. It contains only 7 grams of fat, while both the Thai curries contain significantly more. It is low in sodium but contains 5 grams of fiber and 9 grams of protein. I prefer a bit more protein in my tofu centered meals but 9 is all right.
4.5/5

Taste: I was surprised by how yummy this frozen meal was. The quality was on par with an Amy's frozen dinner. The tofu has a slightly unusual but very nice texture, the sauce was flavorful without being too salty or sweet, the peas seemed fresh considering it was a frozen meal, and the rice maintained it's shape. I added a few carrots to make the meals more filling and dynamic. On it's own, it was still a very good Indian style meal.
5/5

Hunger Satisfaction: It was a bit more filling than I expected but I still found myself hungry an hour or two after.
3/5

Value: Sadly, as most TV dinners go, this one was expensive. It ran about $5 at Sprouts, a very awesome Grocery store if you live in Southern California. I figure it would probably run a bit higher at Whole Foods. The price is about the same as most frozen meals but a bit lower than most gluten free options.

Over all Rating: 4/5 a good buy!
