WonderSlim Protein Meal, Sloppy Joe Mix, 12g Protein, Gluten Free (7ct)

Love this meal pack! Great taste, easy prep & good portion for me. I recently started a weight loss injection program so am eating way less but need to keep my protein intake up. This dehydrated veggie chili packs a bit 12g of protein for a small 100cal. Prepared it makes a good size meal - about 5oz of food which I pair with protein enhanced Kibo chickpea or lentil cracker/chips for a 20g protein/200cal meal which is plenty in volume to satisfy my reduced appetite. I really like the flavor and consistency of the chili - I like it thick so just use 6oz of hot water from my work water dispenser - you can use more for a more soup like consistency. It smells deliciously tomato-y and has a great spice flavor w/out being spicy hot. I got a couple cans of kidney beans (a great source of fiber & protein) and add 1/4 cup to the mix 1/2way thru cooking. I am currently only eating lunch & dinner w/ no snacks & just water or black tea to drink. The sodium level is not horrible in the mix and since I am not intaking any other sodium during the day it is well within healthy limits for me - actually benefits me, keeps me at sufficient levels. **Tip for cooking: use HOT water and microwave at 2 or 2.5min intervals - stirring in between. This will give you a even rehydration and good consistency. I wish this brand had more flavors with this setup/consistency - curry or stew flavors would be fun.

I was a bit skeptical when ordering - chili in a dried pouch? When it arrived it took me a bit to decide to make a pouch for lunch.Opening the packet the aroma made my mouth start to water, it smelled that delicious. However I didn't exactly follow the directions on the package for the better.Package says to add 6 oz of water. I used my Keurig to add 8 oz to start. I almost always add a bit more water than asked for. After I stirred it, back to the normal directions of 3 min in the microwave, stir, and then 3 more min in the microwave.At this point, it was very thick, looked yummy, but also very small portion. The picture on the box must be in a very small bowl. It was thicker than I make my own Chili so back under the keurig it went and I added about 2 or 3 more oz of hot water. Perfect.The texture was great. The smell was great. The taste was unbelievable for a dried veggie based chili. I could have eaten more but I wanted to keep it to the 100 cal. So I had a little garden salad to go with it.Also, being a diabetic I watch my blood sugars. This was barely a blip on my readings. Just wish it was a little less expensive. $10 a box would be easier to swallow. At $10 it would be an everyday lunch for me. At current price, its a once or twice a week lunch.All in all, I will be getting this again. Very happy with my purchase.

The product's name might be more accurate if it was "protein snack." The package just does not contain a meal. As a snack, the lowish price would be more understandable.Regardless of whether one uses a microwave or stove top, the preparation requires much 'baby-sitting', with frequent stirring. This makes the microwave process somewhat tedious. All that said, this does end up as either a tasty snack or part of a whole meal.

I bought this to have a quick, just add water lunch for work. At around $2 per serving, it seems to fit the bill, but you will only net around 7oz of total product. That's with 6oz water. That is, if you are able to keep all the water in your bowl.When I prepared my first serving, I followed the instructions explicitly. I added 6 oz of HOT water, then placed in the microwave for 5 minutes on HIGH. Well, I trusted the instructions and looked away for a few moments. Next thing I knew, the whole bowl of chili puked all over my microwave after just about one minute into the nuking. And I mean it PUKED. ALL over the microwave. ALL over my microwave safe bowl. All over the counter when I opened the door. UGH. And it dries SO fast that I had to scrub to get much of it completely cleaned up.Today, I tried pack #2. I added only about 4 oz of hot water. Set the paper towel-lined microwave to 75% for 5 minutes. I had to stop it a few times as I kept my eagle eyes on it. So far so good. Topped off the liquid in what looked to actually be a nice, clean, thick bowl of chili. Sigh. 30 seconds into the final 2-minute final cook, it puked again. Sigh. Another 10 minute clean up.Finally, the finished 6oz product seemed too watery. I think around 4oz for 5 minutes at 75% or lower is sufficient. But it just won't fill you up. It tasted good, though, which is why I generously blessed the product with three stars.

The chicken Noodle is yummy!

lots of these products have a musty flavor. I really dont thing theyre moldy but it definately makes you wonder.

As a multi-year Optivia user, I was skeptical, but I wanted to lose a few pounds and Optivia requires a subscription and that is very expensive. I was spending $400+ per month. I did some research and found that WonderSlim products are easier to purchase, and (if you read labels) just as low calorie as Optivia. You can purchase a few boxes at a time - not a month's worth! I have also found that the WonderSlim portion sizes are bigger and they taste better. I'm a new-found fan! I really don't need a coach to tell me how to lose weight - I need products that satisfy and taste good. I've already lost 7 pounds. I am now a WonderSlim fan!

The serving size is a bit small. However, it packs a great punch with flavour.
