Who needs Chipotle with a bowl like this

Oh my god, Trader Joes new products for summer are a grand slam to me! So many greats and this green Chile chicken bowl is a HUGE win. Who needs chipotle with a bowl like this? Really true! Some of their frozen bowls have been hit or miss, as a long time lean cuisine eater I know my frozen meals very well 🙂 This is a Rockstar that tastes amazing on its own, and can easily jazz it up to be a superstar!

But first, nutrition and cooking

Love the nutrition on this bowl! Im no professional so always judge for yourself, but the low calories, low fat, low carb–but high protein and some fiber make it a huge win for me! 320 calories leaves room for addons or side snacks while keeping it in range, sodium as always is there since it is a frozen meal. I chose to use the microwave and loved it, imagine the oven is even better. Just didn’t have the 40+ minuets to cook it that wat and don’t think I will in the future–whole point of freezer food is speed to me.

So easy and so good

Picture on the left was after the first 3 minuets, right before I stirred it up. On the right is all ready to eat! Cooking was fast and simple, and from experience know I like to eat meals like this in real bowls. Its a mind trick to make it more filling and works for me 🙂 The pulled chicken is juicy, the cheese is great, rice rivals chipotle, and the sauce is amazing! Did add a little to it as shown below, but adore this bowl. Was so yummy and filling for its size! This was my second time trying, ate the first too fast 🙂

A little extra pop

For round two did this! Added a littttttle more cheese and some Chile lime seasoning to really kick it up–and it did! Some sautéed veggies would be perfect as well if you want to add more oomph to your meal while keeping calories low. This is a 10/10, in love and my go to for fast meals. Might have it once a week! Have you tried the new summer items yet and if so–what’s your favorite? This might be the top season of the year for me at Trader Joes! If you haven’t grabbed this bowl so get it, it wont disappoint!
