Long gone are the days when a frozen dinner meant Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes, turkey and gravy with mashed potatoes, or fried chicken with mashed potatoes. But even the newer favorites - like chichen parmesan, pasta primavera, and beef teriyaki- can get old after a while. That makes a brand new line of frozen entrees like Healthy Choice Flavor Adventures a sight for tired tast buds. From the Roasted Chicken Chardonnay to the Grilled Chicken Caesar,Beef Merlot and nine other varieties, HC's chefs know their stuff. Check out the yellow carrots in the Creamy Herb Roasted Chicken and the green and yellow zucchini in the Chicken Tuscany. More veggies would be better, but at least these dishes have moved beyond green beans. The company has to keep a lid on sodium (as well as saturated fat) or it can not use the word "healthy" in its name. The government's 600 mg limit for "healthy" meals is! a far cry from low. But you could easily find far more than that in the frozen-food aisle, not to mention your local takeout restaurant. The sodium and sat fat limits keep Healthy Choice's food developers on their toes, always looking for new adventures. Too bad most other companies do not bother to do the same. Remember: food is your friend - enjoy!
