If I had all the time in the world, an unlimited budget, and kids who weren’t ever picky about what they eat, I’d happily make all our meals from scratch. I enjoy cooking and like knowing what’s in our meals, as well as having the ability to change recipes to our taste and to make them healthier.
But I do have restrictions on my time and budget and my kids can sometimes be picky. Sometimes we’re racing from school to a sports practice. Other times, I’m working from home and don’t want to spend much time making a meal that’s just for me. Sometimes I’ll eat something that feels a little more like a snack instead of a meal, like carrots and crackers with hummus. Which is okay on some days, and can leave me feeling hungry on others.
I want to eat a real meal! I’ve tried stocking my freezer with frozen meals to have those easy choices, but they were often a little bland and didn’t taste at all like anything I’d make in my kitchen. But, this past week, I tried SMARTMADE ™ by SmartOnes (R) for my lunches. 
These meals were more like what I would make, if I had the time. The first one I tried was White Wine Chicken with Couscous. It’s grilled white meat chicken with roasted zucchini, eggplant, onions, and tomatoes over pearled couscous lightly tossed in a white wine sauce.
SMARTMADE™ meals are made with real ingredients that I know how to pronounce (and know what they are!), with no artificial flavors or preservatives. By grilling their protein and roasting vegetables, you get more flavor, which makes for a SMARTMADE™ and delicious option for when I don’t cook. There are also smart swaps in these meals: like couscous or brown rice instead of white rice and white bean puree instead of cream. 
Other SMARTMADE™ meals available are: Mexican-Style Chicken Bowl, Rosemary Grilled Beef & Vegetables, Roasted Vegetable Enchilada Bake, Turkey Sausage & Roasted Vegetable Lasagna Bake, Roasted Turkey & Vegetables, and many others, that you can see here.
What is your go-to lunch on a busy day?
That looks so good! I love a healthy meal that I can pop in the microwave and have ready really fast. That’s about all the time I have for cooking. LOL
These look amazing! I am going to have to look out for these. I have a newborn so cooking is not really a thing I do these days LOL!
These look delicious! I haven’t seen them in stores yet!
I’m definitely a fan of quick, delicious meals like these. I think I’ll have to try out some SmartMade meals!
I like to keep frozen meals on hand for when my husband is working and I am too busy to cook myself lunch. This looks really good.
I definitely plan to stock up on a few SmartMade meals and keep them on hand. I often get so busy with work that I forget to stop and take a lunch break.
I’ve never heard of this brand but I’m a mom on the go! Would love to try this out!
I love to cook but sometimes there’s just not enough time or I’m not in the mood. This looks like a great solution to those days!
This is so great. I’m always looking for the easy things.
I love go-to meals especially on a very busy day. This sounds like a great meal service to check out!
I always forget to eat lunch and this looks so easy to make. I’ll have to check this out next time I am grocery shopping!
That looks really good! I’d never heard of SMART LUNCH before this post. I would love to get some for the freezer as I am often going without lunch as I get too busy to make myself something good.
White Wine Chicken with Couscous would be a delicious lunch. I will have to look for these when I do my groceries this week. They will be great for busy days.
This looks great for me! As a stay at home mom eating for one cam be tricky.
I have never heard of these before but they actually look delicious. I am going to have to check them out.
These look like wonderful dishes.
I like a lot of protein with my meal.
These look wonderful! Ill have to find them in our stores.
My first to hear of the brand. I’m going to pick one or two up on our next shopping trip and give them a go!
My go to lunch is usually a quick sandwich or chinese food. These look really good though, so I have to try them.
