I know that I can often be hyperbolic, but seriously. I cannot praise Amy’s enough. For those of you who don’t peruse the vegetarian section of your grocer’s freezer, allow me to enlighten you. Amy’s is a section of natural and/or organic vegetarian meals that are drop-dead delicious. From spinach and feta pockets, to pot pies, to mattar paneer, there is more variety in Amy’s than any other frozen food line that I’ve seen. Plus, as an extra bonus, they’re generally low in fat and calories. There’s even an Amy’s Diet for those who are so inclined.
I have a weird day job in which I generally don’t get a traditional lunch break — that’s what’s driven me to these more than ever before. I used to buy them every now and again, but only stuck to a few dishes. Now, since I’m eating them several days a week, it’s forced me to broaden my horizons — and I have yet to find a meal I haven’t liked.
Before, when it came to packing a lunch for work, the only options were the fat and calorie-laden frozen meals, of which there were few vegetarian options, or the Lean Cuisine-type diet meals, which generally tasted like paste. Now, I have a giant line of food to choose from, which is a huge deal for someone who was raised a vegetarian. I’m used to only having a couple of options, so as a result, I often eat the same thing over and over again. Being able to choose from an entire line of readily-available food is a whole new world for me.
I know that I sound like a shill for Amy’s, but it’s really just a matter of finding a product that I really enjoy. Trust me: even if you aren’t a vegetarian, these can’t be beat when it comes to frozen food.
