Aahana's Sprouted Lentils Power Bowl Gluten Free Vegan Ready Meals 4 Pack

Didn’t expect these to be this good honestly. The flavor tastes homemade instead of overly processed and they’re actually filling thanks to the fiber. Been looking for a way to up my fiber count from something other than chia seeds and this has been great to fill that gap. I keep a couple at work since it’s something quick and convenient and helps me hit my protein and fiber goals on my busier days.

My daughter loved these. She said they were easy to fix abd very flavorful. Very little ingredients. She would purchase again!

These are good. Not too spicy (I often have to add beans or rice to dilute Indian food and keep it from hurting me, but these are nice and mild, so I can eat them without adding anything). They give you a nice amount that's about right for a snack or part of a meal (about 2 cups worth). I add a bit more water to mine than they suggest and I do it in the microwave (just heat the water for a minute then let it sit the 7 minutes they suggest). It works really well. This is very lightly salted, which I like. It's much better to add salt if you need more than try to dilute it. Quinoa Lentil: yummy. Mostly tastes like mashed potatoes but you get nice bits of lentils, carrots, and such. I can't really taste the cilantro and that's a good thing. There was one thing in there that tasted really bitter, but there was only like 2 pieces (maybe the cilantro?). Millet and Lentil: This one was a bit beanie tasting, but the kitchari flavor was predominant (not sure how to describe it). I couldn't really place the flavor of the millet but I liked it. I've heard millet is bitter, but this wasn't. There was a leaf of something (cilantro?) in here that was bitter so I didn't eat that part. Masala Rice and Lentil: Tastes a bit like split pea soup (with peas and potatoes), but with an Indian twist. Mung Beans and Rice: Has that distinctive kitchari taste, plus a little subtle potato and green bean flavors. Bits of carrots too. The mung beans aren't sprouted as I expected, they really are just the bean part. I didn't notice much of a flavor, but overall it was a nice meal.

Rancid — that chemical smell that others report is specifically detected in the coconut and ginger version (I’m here to find out about others but I know the smell of rancid coconut anywhere). That awful chemical smell is coconut that’s gone off and then gone off some more and then some more and is many years past usable. Most other ingredients wouldn’t create such a smell — but this was a good indicator that they are not following any kind of quality control and the expiration date means nothing

Hard to find quick, flavorful, GF meals but these are great. I found they lack any texture which was a little weird to me but still tasty. Probably won’t reorder but a nice change in my search for a quick meal that makes my palate happy. I’d best describe as “mushy”…
