I've tried several of Amy's brand products in the past; nearly all of the vegan products are pretty bland. I do like broccoli and cheese on pasta, however, and while I can't have a lot of dairy a little portion of cheese sauce won't hurt me, so I thought this might be good.
The cheese sauce is actually very strong, and the whole dish was quite heavy; although a reasonably-sized portion I almost couldn't finish it. I don't understand why cheese-sauced pasta has to be topped with breadcrumbs. Is that a Midwestern thing? Anyway, not bad, just very filling.
I grew up eating a lot of Cuban and islander foods so this vegan burrito bowl appealed to me right away.
The actual dish is a little unsightly -- okay, a lot -- but tasted very good. The level of spiciness, which I would put at 7 on a 1 to 10 scale, was surprising in that it didn't overwhelm the flavors of the veggies and rice. I finished it with no problem and I'll probably buy this one again, although I may add some of my own white rice to it next time. On its own it is pretty spicy.
Asian food is my favorite, so I had to indulge in these veggie egg rolls. The pack came with eight; I made four and used my own gochujang-soy sauce blend for dipping, as I'm not a fan of sweet and sour sauces.
These were my favorite of the three lunches; they were delicious, crispy and light. Four was just enough for one portion for me so I can make two lunches out of one box. I'll probably get these once or twice a month.
