TASTE TEST TIME
Marbella Rocks testers were sent a variety of meals to taste, all 500 calories and under. They come in generous sized plastic containers so portion control is always guaranteed. Phosh chef Phil explains he only uses the finest ingredients and lowest calorie sauces and dressings to make every meal as tasty but as healthy as possible.
Breakfast meal prep is important to start the day in the right way with lots of delicious, slow release foods like Protein Pancakes, Frittatas and Bircher Muesli.
The Bircher Muesli we tested was delicious and contained raw rolled oats and other ingredients including grains, fruits, seeds, nuts, and fresh fruit mixed with natural yogurt and a scoop of whey protein. The Protein Pancake was equally good, sweet but not overly sweet with a firm texture – this could also work as a snack or dessert for those not on diets.
Next up we tried the mains – the tangy Mexican Rice and Jerk Chicken was superb. The meat was lean and in perfect thick slices and the Caribbean flavours gave it an added kick. The Smoked Salmon and Mash was also beautiful – lean, flavoursome and accompanied with perfectly al dente cooked asparagus.
The Skinny Lemon Honey Chicken with Hassle Back Potato had so much flavour and just the right amount of sauce to jazz up the meal without being overladen and therefore calorie heavy. The green beans, red peppers, rice and brocolli side accompaniments were tasty too. One thing we did notice is how bright and colourful all the dishes were – a sure sign that the food is fresh and packed with goodness.
Without a shadow ‘the pièce de résistance’ for our tasters was the Oatmeal Cookies with dried cranberries. Cooked fresh everyday by Phosh they tasted devine. We were even told that Phosh Food customers call them “crack cookies” as they get so addicted to them!
