So a while back I won a giveaway from Elise for the Earthbound Farms cookbook and some coupons for their products. As soon as the coupons arrived, I went on a hunt for the PowerMeals. Sadly in our area, I was having a tough time locating them. After some emailing with their rep and some calls to local stores, I was only able to find the boxed salad. EarthBound Farms was kind enough to send me some samples for the Husband and I to try.
I was so excited at the thought of having a box with everything I need for lunch already put together in a grab and go set up. They have three flavors; Blueberry Quinoa Protein Balance, Tomatillo Black Bean Protein Energy, and Cranberry Wheat Protein Boost, there was plenty to choose from. While I have enjoyed trying the flavors I am still playing with adding some extra veggies like cucumbers and tomatoes. I love the items included but I am still trying to get the right balance.
I really like the idea of these salads and I think that they will be a great base as we get some other great flavors from the Farmer’s Market to add. Definitely full of nutrition and keeps me full all afternoon!
Have you tried the PowerMeals before?
UPDATE: Just tried the Tomatillo Black Bean and it blew my socks off! All this salad needs is a side of Avocado! Thank you Earth Bound!
