High Protein Meal – 7 Servings (Zesty Vegetable Chili w/Beans) | 12g Plant-Based Protein, 4g Fiber, 100 Calories, 0g Cholesterol, Low-Carb, Low Sugar, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian Friendly Meal

Love this meal pack! Great taste, easy prep & good portion for me. I recently started a weight loss injection program so am eating way less but need to keep my protein intake up. This dehydrated veggie chili packs a bit 12g of protein for a small 100cal. Prepared it makes a good size meal - about 5oz of food which I pair with protein enhanced Kibo chickpea or lentil cracker/chips for a 20g protein/200cal meal which is plenty in volume to satisfy my reduced appetite. I really like the flavor and consistency of the chili - I like it thick so just use 6oz of hot water from my work water dispenser - you can use more for a more soup like consistency. It smells deliciously tomato-y and has a great spice flavor w/out being spicy hot. I got a couple cans of kidney beans (a great source of fiber & protein) and add 1/4 cup to the mix 1/2way thru cooking. I am currently only eating lunch & dinner w/ no snacks & just water or black tea to drink. The sodium level is not horrible in the mix and since I am not intaking any other sodium during the day it is well within healthy limits for me - actually benefits me, keeps me at sufficient levels. **Tip for cooking: use HOT water and microwave at 2 or 2.5min intervals - stirring in between. This will give you a even rehydration and good consistency. I wish this brand had more flavors with this setup/consistency - curry or stew flavors would be fun.

I was a bit skeptical when ordering - chili in a dried pouch? When it arrived it took me a bit to decide to make a pouch for lunch. Opening the packet the aroma made my mouth start to water, it smelled that delicious. However I didn't exactly follow the directions on the package for the better. Package says to add 6 oz of water. I used my Keurig to add 8 oz to start. I almost always add a bit more water than asked for. After I stirred it, back to the normal directions of 3 min in the microwave, stir, and then 3 more min in the microwave. At this point, it was very thick, looked yummy, but also very small portion. The picture on the box must be in a very small bowl. It was thicker than I make my own Chili so back under the keurig it went and I added about 2 or 3 more oz of hot water. Perfect. The texture was great. The smell was great. The taste was unbelievable for a dried veggie based chili. I could have eaten more but I wanted to keep it to the 100 cal. So I had a little garden salad to go with it. Also, being a diabetic I watch my blood sugars. This was barely a blip on my readings. Just wish it was a little less expensive. $10 a box would be easier to swallow. At $10 it would be an everyday lunch for me. At current price, its a once or twice a week lunch. All in all, I will be getting this again. Very happy with my purchase.

The product's name might be more accurate if it was "protein snack." The package just does not contain a meal. As a snack, the lowish price would be more understandable. Regardless of whether one uses a microwave or stove top, the preparation requires much 'baby-sitting', with frequent stirring. This makes the microwave process somewhat tedious. All that said, this does end up as either a tasty snack or part of a whole meal.

Wey small portion which accounts for 100 calories. Pretty good flavor, very spicy. Gave me a LOT of smelly gas.

I love these. Easy to make, portable, tasty, nice-sized serving pouches. Just at one cent under $18, the price per calorie / protein is 2 to 4 times what I can afford to buy. The cost is demoralizing and I feel abused by the sellers. Great protein to calorie ratio, easy to carry, well packaged, simple to reconstitute even with water from the tap when traveling. Mass air drop to starving at Gaza. Use drones to drop this good food to the needy!

I have had this before, it’s great

This stuff is actually not bad and has very low caloric and carbohydrate count. Doesn’t really taste much like chili but it’s petty good for dehydrated diet food. I do NOT recommend the creamy chicken and veggie soup. Tastes like baby formula

Terrible taste, won’t buy again
