Hormel Compleats Meals for Kids Review & Giveaway! (U.S.) - CLOSED



I received four (4) Hormel Compleats Meals for Kids in the mail to try out from Hormel Compleats Kids Microwave Meals. These meals come in four different flavors, Beef Ravioli, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Pasta and Chicken, and Macaroni and Beef.

I really wasn't impressed at all. Each meal has no preservatives, additives, or artificial colors. They are very well sealed and it only takes 45 seconds to cook them in the microwave. I personally tried a few bites of the ravioli meal and it wasn't that great. It had hardly any flavor at all and it didn't smell nice. The sauce of the Beef Ravioli meal tasted gritty like there was cornmeal in it or something. It was really thick, and overall, not appetizing. The Beef Ravioli Mean only contains 230 calories which isn't bad. 20mg cholesterol, 450mg of sodium, 34 grams of total carbs, 6 grams of sugar, but only 10 grams of protein. I wonder what the meat in the beef ravioli actually contains for it not to have much protein in it? The Beef Ravioli Meal only contains 3 grams of fiber, that's not every much. I don't feel that there is much nutrition in these meals at all. Where's the veggies?

Chloe, my almost 21 month old, didn't like the smell of any of the meals. I tried one bite of each of the other meals and ended up throwing them away when Chloe wouldn't eat them at all. They really had no flavor. Each meal contains about 450 to 550 milligrams of salt, which for us, is a lot. We have to stick to a low sodium diet, and these meals don't fit our diets. We keep the kids on low sodium diets also because high blood pressure runs in our families.

These meals all have the word "Healthy Food For Kids" posted on the front of them. I didn't feel so healthy after having a few bites. The ingredients include dehydrated cheddar cheese and pasteurized process american cheese.

Click HERE or on the image above to go to Hormel.com to find out more information about these meals and Hormel. If your children and family like Chef Boyardee, then you might like these. I have had Chef Boyardee ravioli's and other canned pasta from them, and they have way more flavor. Chloe doesn't like these either, but she might, in time.
