Healthy Choice Has a New Entree

Pumpkin Squash Ravioli is a New Twist and a Great Taste

Healthy Choice has a new entree on the shelf.

Pumpkin Squash Ravioli is an all natural entree that contains real food and no preservatives.

I stumbled upon the tasty dinner courtesy of a coupon.

I love pumpkin pie and a heated can of Chef Boyardee Ravioli is an okay dish now and then so I thought maybe the two tastes would go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

Well it may not be as tasty as Reese's Peanut Butter cups but the two flavors do mix well.

Its like eating ravioli with a hint of pumpkin pie inside.

Other ingredients that make up the entree include asparagus, sweet butternut squash, and apples.

All are mixed together with extra virgin olive oil.

The meal cooks in a matter of about four minutes in the microwave or 30 minutes in a heated conventional oven.

According to the packaging, the 9.2 oz meal contains 30 percent of the daily recommended grains and 20 percent of the daily recommended amount of vegetables.

Other important nutrition facts include: 300 calories with 60 of those coming from fat; 13 percent saturated fat; three percent cholesterol; 60 percent vitamin A, and only four grams of sugar.

The entree is considered to be equal to six Weight Watchers Points.

Needless to say the item is found in the freezer section.

I found my coupon in my daily newspaper, but a check of the Healthy Choice Web site reveals that a $1 off coupon on the purchase of two of these meals is available.

Just log on to http://www.healthychoice.com/news-special-offers/

for your coupon, then head to your grocer's freezer for a new, healthy, exciting taste.

If you think the two taste together does not sound inviting, try adding a hint of Cool Whip and pretend your eating a new modern day slice of pumpkin pie. Warning I have not done that.

    Good product review... and a good reminder that pumpkins aren't just something to let rot after Halloween but are in fact a vegetable.

    It sounds healthy, but a little spooky. I freak out when my stuff touches on the plate, this might be too much for me. (Some foods can touch but never dessert with meat or vegetables.)

    Fair tasting with what I have found to be inadequate portions.... maybe that's why losing weight does not come easily to me!
