Real Good Foods is introducing a first-of-its-kind lasagna bowl with a low-carb, high-protein recipe thanks to the use of thinly sliced chicken lasagna noodles. The noodles are said to taste just like real lasagna, plus it shares the benefit of 32 grams of protein and just 11 grams of net carbs.
The grain-free bowl integrates other classic elements of lasagna like homestyle red marinara sauce, creamy ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Preparing the meal is as easy as it could be, as it can be warmed in the microwave.
This frozen meal from the brand sets itself apart from other lasagna entrees with over 50 grams of carbs per serving, plus added sugar and little nutritional value.
