Tasty, quick and easy

FINALLY - an organic, plant based meal that I don't have to slave over! I have been dealing with hellacious IBS symptoms for years and this is the first time I have found something that I can look forward to eating with no fear! The flavor is simple but very tasty (good if you crave salty food), and I love that it takes almost no prep for me to make. On days when I'm having a bad flare I can still get this down easily without having to cook or go out, and it makes a great base for any veggies you u want to add. I love cooking mine on the stove with some cumin seeds, garlic, and cubed sweet potatoes! I've been saving a bit of money eating these for dinner everyday and to top it all off I actually lost a couple pounds!

FIRST, I can get THREE meals from this. I plop about a third of it onto pita bread, add a bit of salsa, whatever and it is easily three meals for me from ONE pkg.
PROS:

INGREDIENTS - I LIKE to eat healthy, but I DO NOT like to buy all the ingredients and cook for myself. LOVE the ingredients, the organic, non-gmo and the great mix of quinoa, rice and lentils, olive oil and sea salt.

TASTE - OLIVE OIL AND SEA SALT - THIS is the best if you want to add your OWN spices as it's pretty bland.
SPANISH BLEND - Not super hot, but does have some great spices in it and I can just plop onto pita bread or a tortilla, maybe add a bit of shredded cheese and/or salsa. YUM
VEGETABLE MEDLEY - REALLY like this one. Was going to add things to it (and it would be good with some egg in it for more protein), but was SO tasty on it's own, I ate it as is!

TEXTURE/MOUTH FEEL - I expected this to have a bit more of an oil feel, not really OILY, but while it's moist, it's kind of like cooking rice with NOTHING added. I am FINE with that, but it was a little bit of a surprise.

QUANTITY - OK as I was just going to try first packet on it's OWN, I did eat the whole packet. It made a GOOD size serving for one. It's meant as TWO servings and HAD I added ANYTHING to it, OR had something else to eat with it, YES, easily two servings.

CONVENIENCE - DING! DING! DING! WHAT I have been looking for. Healthy, clean ingredients with the convenience of just microwaving! I'm turning 70 and I just cook for myself and don't want to have to purchase and prepare all the ingredients, just want them magically there! THIS will be a staple for me.

PRICE - I DID get this for about six bucks as I had a credit. NOT SURE if I would have tried this for the first time if I had had to pay full price. Now that I have tried it and see I can get a total of 2-3 meals from one packet, I think the price is definitely worth it.

PACKAGING - MAYBE not a big thing to you, but LOVED the packaging! Came in a cardboard box that had serrated edges and looks so good, I remove the top lid part and I SAVE THEM and just keep it on my counter to hold other items, like packets of tuna, anything in packets!

BOTTOMLINE: FIVE STARS even though could use some spices (but would rather have it like that than over-spiced). PERFECT BASE to add, well, just about anything. LOVE the ingredients and nutrition.

i love to use this as a starting place for creating my own recipe and vary it - i fix it for either hot meal or cold salad - add spinach, shredded carrots, purple onion, various kinds of canned beans, chia seeds or sesame seeds, dried fruit or berries from my garden and/or meat if desired - make it your own - drizzle a little organic red wine vinegar over it - add spices - or it is delicious on it's own but the pieces are so small that i add things to get more texture and healthful fresh ingredients - highly recommend this product

This is a super easy way to have a healthy carb with lunch or to travel with and have healthy food. Flavors are pretty good, but the portions seem off. I tried to measure out a serving, but the second serving that's "in there" is probably half what it says. Probably has to do with dry weight versus cooked. Still good and will buy again
