Not worth it
Way too much spinach and kale and barely any pasta or chicken. It says pesto but the chicken and the pasta had literally no pesto on it. Also it was such a small helping for $4.

Upset stomach
I got an upset stomach soon after eating it, I had such bad burps that were so painful that I thought something was wrong with my blood pressure. My coworker was like what’s wrong when I was checking it. I told her it was tightness in my chest and then I gave off the loudest burp. Then later on I had watery stools.

Where is the chicken?
It has way too much spinach and is surprisingly acidic. And there is barely any chicken or pasta! Disgusting.

Edible but not enjoyable
Picked this up because it does have good macros and includes protein and fiber. It’s also lower in sodium than most frozen meals that are its competitor but could also be the reason it’s very flavorless. The portion itself is fine however the flavor is missing. I was able to eat it after adding a dash of garlic pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes but again that defeats its purpose of convenience, I wouldn’t buy this item again.

I had a party in my mouth!
This was amazing!!! Just the right amount of all the ingredients and the sauce didn’t drown it out. We have a 1,000 watt microwave. I left the lid on the bowl as instructed and cooked it for exactly 5 minutes and let it sit a couple minutes while I continued to finish the sides. I think this softened the kale up perfectly. I paired this meal with a long sweet yellow pepper, one heel of sourdough bread, and 2 tablespoons of red pepper hummus to dip the pepper and a little bit on the bread. This is going in my regular rotation of frozen meals. Yum!!!

excellent
Excellent pasta, excellent vegetables and a great amount of pesto sauce makes this dish very satisfying. It's in my main weekly rotation for when I want the pasta texture to satisfy my desire for carbs

Absolutely flavorless
So watered down and absolutely no flavor at all. I tried 5 things to try and save it and I just couldn't make it good enough to eat. Tried 3 other bowls of this brand and all of them were very bland.

Pretty good
Pretty good! I came across a stem or two in the few times I’ve tried it. Overall I loved the amount of veggies and tomato. I don’t know that I’d say the pesto was present enough. For sure think that could be improved. Great with a little Parmesan cheese.

Low sodium; healthy; good flavor
This seems like a nutritional knockout compared to most frozen dinners. The sodium is about as low as I’ve seen on a product like this. I see kale stems on other reviews like that’s a bad thing. I’m used to collards and greens in the south - kale stems are good for you. I wish they made products like this re: sodium content - impressive

YEP DITTO, LEMONY WOOD
First off, it was my error in not reading the all ingredients. I saw the “Ancient grains pasta” banner and “pesto” on the front of the box along with tomatoes and what looked like spinach in the picture. Yes, there is spinach in it, but more kale and chard. I hate both, too bitter. I also thought the 1 1/2 inch long tough, woody stems might be asparagus. Nope, no asparagus in the ingredient list. The chicken pieces were very tiny, dry bits. I saw three pepitas. Additionally, the lemon is overpowering. I purchased this due to the low carbohydrate count and high protein. For $4.99 I forced myself to eat all but the stems after adding a lot of parmesan cheese. I’ll stick to the Cheese and spinach ravioli, my favorite LC meal.

Full of flavor and texture!
Love this for a fresh and nutritious lunch at work. A generous serving of kale along with pepitas, cherry tomatoes and chicken makes a bright and tasty meal that helps me stay on track to reach my health goals...can't wait to try more from the power bowl lineup!

Woody lemon anyone?
Terrible, so many stems you can’t even chew it. If you like eating stems and lemons, go for it. The cafe steamer chicken and pesto is awesome, so I was soo disappointed.

Woody Lemon... is there noodles and chicken?!
I really like the chicken and pesto cafe steamers. But this power bowl is absolutely terrible. It was mostly stems that were woody. I was looking to see if overcooked asparagus was involved but it was not. So if you like eating stems and lemons eat this. It’s the worst frozen meal I have had I think.

INEDIBLE!!
This was the worst thing Ive ever bought to eat. There were so many bits that were sharp and inedible. I don't know if it was the kale or what but it literally felt like a wood chip scraping down my throat when I swallowed. It also tasted horrible and there was next to NO meat in it. Ive liked several other power bowls in the past but this makes me never want to buy one again.
