Summertime for any family means a jam-packed schedule. It seems everyday we are running from one event and one trip to another. And, when the summer temperature peaks, the last thing I want to be doing
is preparing supper and cooking in a warm house. This motivated me to learn how to BBQ for the first time, yes – really. But, there are those days when there simply isn’t enough time to cook a healthy meal, and I frantically search for alternatives other than settling on fast food and takeout. I was recently introduced to Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers, and these meals certainly suits those with busy lifestyles who like to make healthy choices.
Whether it be lunch or supper, Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers has saved me quite a few times these past couple of months. The meals are steamed in the microwave, and do have a 
much better taste than other microwavable meals that I have tried. The steaming and the delicious sauces provide that great taste. Though I do have my favorites {Sweet Sesame Chicken is one of many}, I haven’t come across one that I disliked. My husband chooses these often for lunch at work too. Plus, with the cook time being less than 5 minutes, it’s so easy and convenient. Sometimes we parents need to decide on a quick meal here and there, and this is a great healthy choice!
Healthy Choice Gourmet Steamers offers over a dozen meals with such a wide selection of flavours, including a 100% vegetarian option and several whole grain options. And, at about $3 CAD each, it’s not a fast meal that will break the bank either. See, healthier than fast food and cheaper too!
Here are some other tips to help ensure a healthy lunch break:
- Balance it out: make sure you eat a balanced lunch with protein, fibre and carbohydrates.
- Sit down when you eat: ensure you are taking the time to think about your meal.
- Don’t eat while you work: you can’t pay attention to your stomach and the computer all at once.
- Go for a walk: rejuvenate and re-energize yourself for the afternoon.

I love the marinara one!
I love these things. I stock right up when they go on sale. Well portioned, healthy, and easy. Can’t go wrong!
I just ate a healthy choice steamers “lemon garlic chicken & shrimp”. The gourmet was good, but I don’t know why you say on the front of the box that it is chicken & shrimp, because their was only 1 shrimp inside the box. I was very disappointed and will not buy another one.
I really like your products.
One small comment, I find the pasta’s a little bit too cook.
I like my pasta still on the raw side.
After cooking in the microwave, i find the pasta as over-cook.
Meaning too soft.
I’m appalled at the amount of plastic that’s used in this product, not to mention the cardboard wrapper. This has to be one of the least environmentally-friendly products in a grocery store. I would never buy one.
