Mediterranean Protein Bowl

I’m ordering it again. Fast and delicious.

The way it comes, the spice level is very low/not spicy. I just add a little shake of red pepper powder for some heat, and it's just right for me. You may also want to add some cumin or something, just a little dash. The biggest complaint I think is it being bland, but it's really not a bad base, and takes two seconds to add a little spice to taste. These are perfect for me. No refrigeration needed, comes in it's own bowl. Hard to find good non-freezer/no-refrigerated meals. For health reasons, had to eliminate fast food. This is a good easy option for a quick meal. You could make this in bulk for like $0.40 a serving(if that) if you really want to be frugal, though for the convenience it's worth it to me. Real food, and easy.

Healthy option for a quick meal. I don't microwave in the plastic but put it in a glass/ceramic bowl, covered with a little gap on top. It heats up nicely without microplastic health issues from the plastic container. i don't use the sauce because it contains bad vegetable oil. Instead I make my own sauce of salsa with avocado. If I'm in a hurry, I'll just use half of the sauce packet. I'm hoping Tasty Bite will choose better quality oils in future. Scrambled eggs and sprinkle of cheese makes it a complete and filling meal.

They're alot smaller bowls than I thought! I received them today/13 Jan 2026 and they all expire in 18 days on the 31st of January! However, they do taste pretty decent.

Having found really great ready-to-eat rice dishes here at Amazon in the past, I was pleased to come across Tasty Bites Indian Style Chili Rice Bowl. Unlike most Rice Dishes I've had that offer 2.5 to 6 ounce servings, which have been quite ample for me, Tasty Bites boasted a 8oz serving size. Also, having "Indian Style" in the name sounded like a nice flavor to explore, so I ordered it. Upon delivery, I Immediately noticed the larger serving bowl & decided to try it out of the box. However, upon removing the plastic, I discovered that the rice inside was not firmly compressed into the bowl like EVERY other dish I've tried in this genre so far. It was as if someone took a serving spoon full of rice and emptied it here. NOT a ladle, NOT a scoop, just a casual couple of tablespoons of rice along with a plastic packet of sauce on top of it. This, allegedly, "Lentil" sauce packet was about six teaspoonfuls of cooked lentil gravy run-off along with a few "lentils" (beans?), and I DO mean just a few. LITERALLY. "Chili" had positively NOTHING to do with this dish either. There is absolutely N O added flavoring to this product at all. It's simply rice, "lentils" and water that's been cooked and packaged. That's it. Not even SALT has been added. So, EVERYTHING about this product is a lie. AND it's considerably more expensive than others like it.

Love these for quick and delicious meal on busy days

Okay but too high in sodium for heart diet restrictions

I’ve tried to order three different varieties of these meals, three different times. The only ones I actually received were the Indian protein bowl so that’s the only one I can review and unfortunately I thought it was bland (not something I’m used to saying about anything claiming to be Indian! Where’s the spice? Any spice?! Any flavor?!) and honestly, just pretty unpleasant. I will say they are convenient, quick and easy to prepare, and I think the nutrition profile was good. It doesn’t look like much, but it is “filling” …but it is also genuinely so gross I don’t want to eat it, so convenience, nutrition, and volume don’t really matter. Especially at the price they’re asking, which yeah, fluctuates pretty widely, but even on the cheaper end, it’s not worth it. I’ve tried preparing it exactly as directed and eating it on its own, then with rice (to add something), then I tried pan frying with oil, figuring that would at least have to be better than just cooked in the microwave? And honestly, somehow it still wasn’t? I ate the last one with rice and bread (again, just to have something worth eating in the meal) and ended up just throwing most of the protein bowl away because I really don’t like it, which again, ruins the whole convenience and nutrition aspects. And I’m not someone who’s comfortable wasting food! At this point I think the only thing that could save it would be just breaking out my own sauces/herbs/spices etc, and these cost waaaaay too much for me to treat them as plain bowls of grains and legumes, although it would easy enough, since the flavor all seems to be in the packet that you mix in after cooking, and the packet is good! I like it, it’s not hot, but that’s fine, it’s got some sweetness, some acidity, salt, but there isn’t nearly enough of it, or enough flavor in it, to actually do any good when you mix it in. I deeply regret that I got the 6 pack, I still have 2 and I don’t want to eat them. Based on other stuff I’ve had from this brand, it hadn’t occurred me that I could dislike this as much as I do. All that said, I still would have liked to try some of the other varieties of these bowls. I’ve liked other Tasty Bite Indian ready meals, the ones in the pouch, but they couldn’t even get the other bowls I tried to order to me, after weeks of delays, so I’m giving up and washing my hands. I’ll be sticking to the pouches.
