"CHEF'S CHOICE" Lo-Carb Bowls
 
I came across these at Walmart the other day. They are like you're regular lunch "bowels" like Uncle Ben's or Weight Watchers. But instead of rice & pasta, they are just full of meat & veggies with a special sause. They are only around 10 carbs (each vary) with some dietary fiber, so substract that, and they are only about 6. And they are yummy!!

Today I had Chicken Catchetorri (sp?). Yesterday I had Chicken Primavera, day before Shrimp something. They give ya lots of meat!! And they are relatively cheap. 2 for $5 at Walmart.

:yay:

Found this quite quickly via www.google.ca -- detailed info available there:

I've been expecting this kind of packaged product, just not QUITE so soon! Cool.

They have bigger meals also - chicken or fish with a couple of veggies. However, they aren't cheap - I paid approx $6 for the chicken one. It was ok, and just a few carbs. It's nice to see them on the market.

Oh, thanks for sharing. These look interesting. I will definitely try some!

Does anyone know of anywhere other than Walmart superstores that sell these bowls?

These rock! I've now tried every flavor. Skip the beef stew--it tastes like really poor quality beef. All of the chicken dishes are great. The pork was unbeleiveable. I'm still looking for the shrimp--but don't much faith...

They're $2.98 at my local Wal-Mart.

sounds very interesting.

Do these products come in the freezer/fridge section, or are they on shelves?

thanks!! :agree:

Heya, Steph!

I tracked through the webpage and found the connection to this:
http://www.aurorafoods.com/home.asp
where it's clear that they are frozen.

Wouldn't it be neat to be in the forefront of producing such products here in Canada?

Thanks Jude :dazzle:

I wonder why our Canadian Walmarts are not carrying such products? Can we collectively as them to carry these and other products?

We can individually ask them! I've been in our own Walmart and asked for the Diabeti-sweet (and wrote to the makers of Diabeti-sweet as well)...first case: a shrug of the shoulders and "head office orders"; second case: a very negative response about registering (like they have to, NOT) in Canada and then no response at all.

Sigh.

If we keep asking, maybe they will. It's all about infrastructure. Maybe e/write Aurora Foods and find out if they have an arm in Canada?

Judi - While I haven't seen it in Canada, I did see Diabetisweet at the new Fred Meyers in Bellingham (West Bakerview Road). It's in the Pharmacy section, along with Guylian SF chocolate bars. Hope this helps!

I went to our Super Wal*Mart yesterday right after work and bought six of these meals. They are running $3.98; but thought that was not too bad for a bowl of meat.

I had the chicken primivar, probably spelled that wrong. It was very tasty and had a salad to go with it. I will not eat them every day but am glad to have another option for the days I need to get something and get myself off to work.

Wish I could find these in Kansas!

I'm getting tired of fast food burgers without buns for lunch, and I'm not a "wrap" sort of person.
