Product Review: SMARTMADE Frozen Meals - A Smart Option for Fast Food

I love trying new products. I am especially happy when they are good. This is a really good one. SMARTMADE ™ by SmartOnes (R) Frozen Meals are produced by Kraft Heinz Foods Company, and are surprisingly well made and taste good - at least the Roasted Turkey and Vegetables one that I tried was very good.

This the description on the box:

"Roasted white meat turkey
medallions with

honey glazed roasted sweet potatoes
and citrus green beans."



Here's a few details about this meal:
  1. Calories: 240 (Calories from fat: 20)
  2. Fat: 2.5g
Only 1g is saturated fat
  1. Fiber: 3g
  2. Protein: 20g
  3. Takes a total of 4:30 minutes to cook in microwave from frozen
  4. Vitamin A: 365% of the daily requirement
  5. Vitamin C: 8% of the daily requirement
  6. Iron: 10% of the daily requirement
  7. Carbs: 36g
  8. Fiber: 3g
  9. Sugars: 16g
  10. Cost: $3.28 at Walmart (also available at other grocers)

As you can see for a convenience food product it is pretty good healthwise. Of course, nothing is as healthy as preparing it yourself, but this is about convenience. All frozen meals have high sodium levels, so you should limit their use to only when you need the convenience.

The portion size is about average. If you are a big eater, you may find it looks like a small portion of food, but it is actually quite filling. It also tastes good.

If you're in a hurry and need a healthy meal, this is a good choice. Sometimes I am so busy that I forget to eat and this is not good. By the time my next meal comes along, I over eat. When I grab a fast meal like this one, I don't overeat and I am not starving.

Whether you are trying to lose weight, maintain weight, or just want to eat healthy, these meals are a good choice....at least for me they are.

Do you ever run out of time to cook a healthy meal for yourself? Do you have a "go-to" solution to eating in a hurry but staying healthy at the same time? Have you ever tried a SmartMade frozen meal? What other ideas do you have to share with others on fast food alternatives?

You will laugh Sheryl but my go to food is a bowl of oatmeal. I use hot water and cook in micro. Even with full grain oats it works for me. Or I will make overnight oatmeal ahead of time and then grab one of those.

I am not laughing. Oatmeal is my breakfast 5 out of 7 days a week. I may throw a few blue or black berries on it....but it is really good. Sometimes I have oatmeal for dinner if I have had a big lunch or breakfast that day. Thanks for the comment, Donna.

Can these meals be prepared in a regular oven? I don't have a microwave.

Tamera, I apologize for the delay in responding, but I needed to research your question. This is my conclusion. The box says microwave only. It only provides information for microwaving. However, if you remove the item from the plastic container and put the frozen meal in an oven safe dish and cook it thoroughly, it might work. I am not recommending this as the manufacturer does not provide conventional oven directions. But I would personally try it.....but that's just me. Hope this helps.

I just tried the rosemary grilled beef and vegetables meal and it was fantastic. I rarely write reviews but I deliberatly wanted write something on the wonderful meal. It was one of the best entrees I have ever had for a frozen meal. Now I want to try more of your meals
