Grainful Entree Review

Grainful was kind enough to send me 2 of their meals to try & review.
Who is Grainful ? They are based in Itaca NY. It started when they were not satisfied with all the processed products on the grocery shelves full of artificial ingredients. So they set out to create delicious, convenient , nourishing food options with REAL food.

They were drawn to steel cut oats because its full of fiber, complete proteins, & loads of other nutrients. They started out making breakfast , which is what you think of when you have oats.
One night when getting ready for dinner, she realized there was not pasta, rice , or potatoes. There was lots of steel cut oats though. Steel cut oats has a light nutty flavor, & rich risotto like texture. It looks like rice, and cooks like rice so she decided to use it for dinner. She made jambalaya and that’s when she realized steel cut oats were destined for much more than just breakfast.

Thats when they crafted their convenient frozen dinner entrees by pairing whole grain steel cut oats with a colorful palette of bold spices and fresh, natural ingredients.

You can see why else they chose steel cut oat on their site here

 

Here are their options:
– Porcini Mushroom Chicken
– Unstuffed Pepper
– Vegetarian Chili
– Andouille Sausage and Oats

  

Porcini Mushroom Chicken: It’s a creamy risotto style with creamy whole grain steel cut oats simmered with mushrooms and chicken strips. Topped with Pecorino Romano cheese. It’s full of flavor , 100% natural, has 9 grams of fiber, & 13 grams of protein.

I had it for lunch and it was full of flavor, delicious, & filling. No skimping on the meat..there are big chunks of white chicken.

Look at the ingredients! Short, easy to read, and you know what they are…real food!

Unstuffed Pepper: With zesty flavors of the southwest , its a twist on the stuffed pepper. It has a nice little kick and is full of flavor. It has seasoned ground turkey, tomatoes, red & green bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, garlic, & herbs. Topped with Pecorino romano cheese. It reminds me of something I would make for myself. It has 18 grams of protein & 5 grams of fiber.

I LOVED these meals. I’m all about healthy eating & sometimes when you’re tired after a long day sometimes convenient means going towards unhealthy options. I like that they use real ingredients that are not only good for you but will keep you full & satisfied. Grainful entrees are made with 100% all-natural steel cut oats which are high in both fiber & protein. They are under 300 calories & minimally processed. Most frozen entrees can be bland, not Grainful. They are full of flavor. I can’t believe its made with oats! Who would have thought? I like having oats for breakfast, in smoothies, baking, or even as an add in ( like my black bean burgers) but never as a main component for dinner. It definitely gave me some inspiration to experiment with steel cut oats.

Two thumbs up for Grainful Entrees!!
