Product: Amy’s Kitchen Gluten-Free Non-Dairy Burrito – $3.79+
A lot of love goes into the foods that Amy’s Kitchen produces and puts out on the grocery store shelves. That’s evident. After all, the business is family-owned business that grew over the years and expanded and soon…Amy’s Kitchen became the nation’s leading natural frozen food brand. Every product that Amy’s Kitchen puts out is vegetarian…but now there are quite a lot of gluten-free options in her line as well.
Which is ideal for this busy, gluten-intolerant vegetarian.
It’s not everyday you find a company that uses natural and organic ingredients in their processed food products. But that’s what makes Amy’s Kitchen stand out from many of the competing brands out there. And it’s one reason (the other being that EVERYTHING I have ever eaten from their line-up of foods has been spectacular) I continue to purchase these products.
So…what does one eat on a busy evening when there is way too much to do, so slaving over the hot stove to create a homemade masterpiece of a meal is not an option? Well…this happened to me recently and my answer was to open of the freezer and pull out Amy’s Gluten-Free Non-Dairy Burrito. My roommate had one of the regular burritos offered in the line-up that is marked as low sodium.
Easy to heat. Just unwrap. Place on plate. Put in microwave. Nuke. Remove from microwave. Enjoy. And while it’s heating up, you can pour yourself a drink or start on a project. Within minutes…dinner is warm and served.
Now, burritos usually aren’t my thing. They are heavy and often way too filling. But the gluten-free burrito from Amy’s Kitchen was just right. Honestly. The gluten-free tortilla was very light, not heavy like most burritos flour tortilla counterparts. With this one being non-dairy (lactose intolerance here!), there was no heavy cheese. It was a light, but filling portion of beans and rice in a mild, tasty, Mexican sauce. And all the ingredients and vegetables and goodness wrapped up inside this light tortilla were organic.
This burrito was mouth-watering delicious. It doesn’t look like much coming out of the microwave, piping hot. It looks a little naked and boring, to be honest. But one bite was all it took to have me hooked. The rice, beans, and vegetables all just come together to create the amazing flavors that burst from this burrito. Trust me, with the mild Mexican sauce, you don’t even miss the cheese. Yes…food can be good without the cheese. This is proof wrapped up in a gluten-free tortilla. I let my roommate have a small taste of mine…and she said she loved it more than the one she was eating. Especially the gluten-free tortilla because it just seemed lighter than the bulkiness of the flour tortilla in her Amy’s Kitchen burrito. GLUTEN-FREE VICTORY!
When prepackaged food can taste this amazing, I don’t feel as bad on busy days just simply digging into my freezer and pulling out something that just needs a bit of a zap in the microwave, or a short sit in a preheated oven. And when food is this nutritious and relatively low in sodium (Amy’s Kitchen does have a low-sodium line, FYI) from the get-go…plus is packed with natural and organic foods, it takes the guilt away from not wanting to cook from scratch. Especially on days you just don’t have the time to do so…or just don’t feel like it. It happens. And now…Amy’s Kitchen is stepping in to help make your quick meals delicious, wholesome, healthy, and in some cases…gluten-free.
Amy’s Kitchen continues to wow me with the products that are put on the shelves. So, if you have yet to try any of them, you’re completely missing out. Don’t let the vegetarian label fool you if you are a carnivore. This just proves that great, pre-made vegetarian meals exist and are good for not just the vegetarians of the world…but the meat-eaters as well.
Go on…let Amy’s Kitchen serve you some amazing food from their delicious line-up. You won’t be disappointed.
