One Aldi Frozen Meal Will Save You From Your Cooking Rut
By COLIN MCCANDLESS

The Whole & Simple brand Southwestern-style chicken quinoa bowl from Aldi is a single-serving frozen meal that can be microwaved in under five minutes.

The $3 bowl contains chicken, quinoa, brown rice, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, black beans, and corn — and a total of 17 grams of plant and animal-based protein.

Nutrition-wise, dieting resource Fooducate gives the product a "B," or better than average health score, for being a source of iron, fiber, protein, and manganese.

As for the taste, one Redditor called the bowl "absolutely amazing," while another said it’s "very flavorful, with plenty of chicken and veggies and just the right amount of heat."

Whether you enjoy the Southwestern or the Mediterranean-style with bell peppers and sun-dried tomatoes, these meals are filling, tasty, and incredibly easy to prepare.
