For over 50 years the TV dinner has been synonymous with fast but not-so-healthy meals. But that's about to change. 3 On Your Side's Jim Donovan shows you how one popular brand is releasing a new line of sophisticated and nutritious frozen entrees which are affordable too!
TV dinners have been going through an extreme makeover. Healthy Choice has always made nutritious meals, but with selections like salisbury steak and chicken parmesan, the choices were standard fare at best. Now the company is serving up a new line of gourmet natural foods, called All Natural Entrees, and it's appealing to the sophisticated foodie.
Samantha Cassetty of the Good Housekeeping Research Institute says, "This line is more gourmet than grocery store because it has better premium ingredients, like olive oil, barley, and more interesting vegetables, like asparagus tips and portebella mushrooms." There are selections like portabella spinach parmesan, sweet asian potstickers and mediterranean pasta.
Cassetty says, "they are low in calories, about 270-380 per meal." In addition, each of the all natural entrees contain at least 5 grams of fiber, and most have at least 15 grams of protein per serving. But that doesn't mean much if they don't taste good. so, they were put to the taste test. Testers found the pasta was cooked well, the peppers tasted fresh and all the meals had a nice flavor.
The meals range in price from $2- $2.49, so it's easy and affordable to have a deluxe dinner right at home.
