The soup itself is was watery and weak. I believe it is supposed to be their spin on tom yum soup and while it does have flavors of cilantro and lemongrass as well as the chicken and mushrooms, it is too watered down and does not have the bold flavors of tom yum soup. The chicken is also a weird texture, likely due to the freezing and reheating process.
The coconut mango rice, which was put in one of those non-microwaveable plastic containers so I just slapped it on the tray and reheated it that way, manages to stay very moist almost overly so as the rice is a bit mushy but it is too sweet for my taste. In addition to the rice, it has mango (obviously) and peas.
The snack mix is pretty tasty although some of the soy nuts had an almost burnt taste. I liked the almonds the best followed by the freeze-dried papaya and pineapple. I'm not a big fan of cranberries and didn't love the soy nuts, which unfortunately overwhelmed the mix. I love coconut and did enjoy that the nuts were coconut crusted.
Overall the meal was ok. I was definitely hesitant that a small soup with tiny sides of rice and snack mix would not fill me up and it definitely didn't. It took me awhile after lunch to write this blog post and as I'm writing it now (about 3 1/2 hours after I finished eating), I'm currently starving and eager for dinner--which likely won't be that filling either!
