Last night, we had the opportunity to try Del Monte’s New Harvest Selection. 90 seconds to a healthy meal! You can read my full review HERE. UPDATE: There is a $1/3 coupon HERE.
Some highlights from my review:
- Healthy: 2 full servings of veggies in every bowl!
- Quick: 90 seconds to heat up.
- Easy & Convenient: Does not require a fridge or freezer to store. So you can keep a few in your desk drawer or in your office for a quick, healthy lunch!
- Inexpensive: At $2.24, it is at least half the cost of a unhealthy, fast food lunch. If you get them on sale or use a coupon, an even better deal!
There is something for everyone! Check out the other varieties:
- Beef & Vegetable Stew
- Chicken Cacciatore
- Italian Style Pasta Bake
- Homestyle Chili w/Beans
- Cheese & Spinach Ravioli
- Santa Fe Style Rice & Beans
Obviously, eating fresh is best but when you are in a hurry and need a quick, healthy lunch, then this is a meal for you!
Del Monte also has a new newsletter called Delmonte Dish, which I told you about a couple of days ago HERE. You will want to sign up to get coupons, easy recipes, and other nutritional tips! When I signed up, I was able to print out a coupon for $1 off of a Delmonte Fruit Cup Snack! These are on sale at Meijer this week, which makes the deal even sweeter!
Now for the best part for YOU! TWO WINNERS! I’m giving away TWO Power up Packs from Del Monte. Which will include:

I’d like to try the Chicken Cacciatore
I want to try this after reading your review. I like that they have 2 vegetable servings and that it would be easy to bring to work as part of my lunch since it doesn’t need to be refrigerated. I’m going to try the Cheese & Spinach ravioli first!
I’m subscribed in my Google Reader, thanks!
the Cheese & Spinach Ravioli sounds awesome!
Great review, we are anxious to try them!!!!
I love the fact that this has 2 servings of veggies! The Cheese & Spinach Ravioli sounds sooo good. Thanks you for offering this awesome giveaway! :)
Hubby would love the Santa Fe meal, and it would be great for him to take to work for lunch since he doesn’t have to worry about it thawing out. Plus, it provides him with 2 veggie servings as well…

I like that they only take 90 seconds to make. Unfortunately the kids don’t have microwave access at school but my husband could use these at work.
I like that no fridge or freezer is needed. Simple to take on the go to work! I’d like to try the beef stew. Thanks.

I loved the review of the products especially the 40% of your daily recommended vegetables in one little bowl. Excellent products I would love to try Santa Fe Rice and Beans.

I’d especially like the Cheese and Spinach Ravioli. I like the way you can keep these in your desk at work for a “just in case it’s needed” emergency lunch!

I would love to try the raviolis! Yum! c117(@)ymail.com
I love that these don’t have to be refridgerated AND that they have 2 servings of vegetables! Thanks for the great giveaway!
My favorite part was when you wrote, “These meals do NOT have to stored in the fridge or freezer. They can sit on the shelf next to your canned good items.” Sweet. Healthy, taste goods and I don’t have to try to cram in it my freezer. SOLD!

I like that these dont have to be refrigerated. I can buy some and have them at work for days I forget my lunch or get to busy to go out to lunch.
They all look so yummy, I think I would like to try the chicken cacciatore first
I subscribe to your email too.
I want to try the sante fe style rice and beans like you did. I love that it has 2 veggie servings in it and since I eat alone almost every night while hubby works, these meals just make sense to me. I’d love to check them out.
I like the fact that it doesn’t take up any room in my refrigerator or freezer :) I’m looking forward to trying the Beef & Vegetable Stew!
I definitely love how they contain 2 servings of veggies! The Cheese & Spinach Ravioli sounds yummy!!
I like how you get two servings of vegetables. I have tried the Italian Style Pasta Bake and really liked it.
I Stumbled! (betskev)
I like the fact that it is40% of your daily recommended vegetables.
I’d love the Italian Style Pasta Bake, because I just love pasta. These look delicious and I can’t cook very well so I could use them!

I would like to try Homestyle Chili w/Beans.

These look great for busy afternoons when I can’t seem to find time to feed myself in between taking care of my two girls. The Cheese and Spinach one sounds good to me. Thanks!
I’m a vegetarian so there aren’t that many pre-made meals that I can eat, but the Cheese and Spinach Ravioli sounds good, I’d love to try it. Thanks!
I would really like to try these. Thanks
The Italian Style Pasta Bake sounds good!

Love the 2 servings of veggies
I like that it has 2 full servings of vegetables in it. I don’t eat enough vegetables and this would be an easy way to do that. I think I would like the chili.
how nice that it doesn’t need refrigeration….

I love that they aren’t frozen. Would be great for our lunches. Thanks for the review and giveaway!
I really think I’d like the Cheese and Spinach Ravioli! Thanks for sharing!
The cool fall weather makes me want to try chili….yum!
I love that they are shelf stable. How great to throw in a bag and use whenever you need it!
We don’t have a lot of extra room in our fridge/freezer right now so these are convenient for us and the varities sound great- we all love ravioli at my house!
Thanks.
We tried these and I am not a fan of frozen veggies at all, but times are tough and fresh is way to expensive, I was expecting little but surprisingly they had a fresh enough taste, were nto soggy or freezer burn tasting, we will definitely buy them again, I just wish the packages were bigger with more product at the price (w/o coupons ofcourse!!)!
I’d want to try the Spinach ravioli.

I can’t believe they aren’t frozen and I could take them anywhere with me. AWSOME!
Thanks,

I love the convenience of having a fast side when I don’t have the time to make a side.
I’d love to try the chesse and spinach ravioli! I love that these don’t have to be rerigerated – that makes keeping “emergency” meals at the office much easier!
I’d like to try the chicken cacciatore ! I love Del Monte products!

got your button up
got you blogged today too

That it can (and does) gets used in lunchboxes..also great to just grab when u get home! i like the homemade chili…yummy! try it if you have not,,now i am hungry..lol..
thanks for the contest and have a great weekend ahead..
The chicken cacciatore sounds great, and I think I could get my kids to eat the ravioli or pasta. The healthiness is a HUGE plus as is the convenience. Generally those two items do not go hand in hand, it is nice to see someone at Delmonte realizing that just because we are
“on the go” does not mean we want to skimp on nutrition.
40% daily vegetable serving in ONE meal? I hope my daughter likes these! I think the Italian one looks yummy too!

There are a lot of great things about it! My favorite would be it wont take up MORE space in my fridge or freezer! AND its pretty cheap! Thanks for the chance!
The calories are great for me and I also have a pickey eater who would like to try them!
Great giveaway! I’m pretty jazzed about the 2 servings of vegetables, since getting enough veggies is one of my weaknesses!
chicken cacciatore sounds yummy!
love the fact there is no chilling it, it can stay in the car or throw into the suitcase to heat on a trip or when working..the flavors sound yummy

I have tried the cheese and spinach ravioli and the italian style pasta bake. both are very good and great to take to work for lunch!
I’m subscribed to your RSS feed – that’s how I found this giveaway :)
Thanks!
I will definitely try this product. I love veggies & rice too! Thank you.
I love that these are not frozen – too many things that are “convenient” can’t be taken with you to work!
Subscribed to your RSS feed. Love your Blog!
Wow! These sound great! I like the fact that you can get 2 veggie servings. I don’t eat my veggies like I should and this would help. I truly like that you don’t have to refrigerate these. AWESOME! I can send this to work with my husband, so he doesn’t have to eat junk for lunch. The one thing I can’t get over is the price – $2.24. Amazing! This is less than half of what it would cost for lunch.
