Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers Review

I am always watching my weight and trying new meals to help achieve this. I am a busy professional and don't have time to cook most nights. I count on frozen entrees more than I wish I had to.

As someone who has been eating frozen dinners for many years, I'd come to use only three brands: Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice or Weight Watchers Smart Ones. Lean Cuisine generally came out ahead; although the most expensive, they had the best food and most variety on the market.

While at the grocery store last week, I spied a new item from Healthy Choice called Cafe Steamers. Adventurous and always looking for the next best thing, I purchased the Beef Merlot and the Chicken Marsala.

I first tried the Beef Merlot. It was easy enough to cook... you take the entree out of it's carton and place it in the microwave as is. No need to poke holes or peel back the plastic cover. In less than 5 minutes it was done. After sitting for 1-2 minutes, you pull back the plastic, take out the top portion, which contained large, meaty cuts of beef, large whole green beans & wedges of potatoes, and dump it in to the lower bowl, which held the merlot sauce. It was absoutely delicious! The beef was tender, the veggies crisp & potatoes perfectly cooked. At only 240 calories, throw in a side salad and it is a feast for those watching their calories!

I then tried the Chicken Marsala, which was equally good. Four (that's 4!) large strips of chicken, al dente pasta & mushrooms made this as wonderful and equally tasty a dish as the previous one. I can't say how satisfying it is to have what tastes like a home cooked meal for so little effort and cost (at $3.09 per meal).

I have 10 more varieties to try, and I can't wait to taste each and every one of them. I will recommend this product to everyone!
