When there are no leftovers in the fridge and no time to make a sandwich, the new Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers from ConAgra Foods offer a tasty lunch in under five minutes, for under $3.Unlike other frozen entrees, these meals come with two plastic trays called duotray steamcookers that allow the food to cook separately from the sauce "to lock in nutrients and fresh flavours and to deliver crispy vegetables and meats that are always tender."
We tested the Beef Merlot and were impressed by the generous amount of red-skinned potatoes, carrots and green beans. The chunks of beef were melt-in-your-mouth tender and came with a rich, dark gravy Best part: The 284-gram portion contains only 210 calories and seven grams of fat and boasts six grams of fibre and 17 grams of protein. Downside: The tasty stew contains 700 mg of sodium (29 per cent of your daily intake) and 21 grams of carbohydrates. And though clever, the two-in-one plastic bowls aren't exactly planet friendly.
