Boca Meatless Chili

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Apr 6, 2005

Boca Meatless Chili is made with ground soy instead of beef, but don't let that turn you off, because then you will miss out on this very tasty product. I liked the combination of green bell peppers, black beans, and red kidney beans along with the ground meat soy which combined to make a very filling dish. The 'tomato baste' flavor was also not too strong and overwhelming. My only critique was that without additional seasoning, it seemed a little bland. Maybe something else in addition to the 'red pepper puree' was needed to get in a little more spicy or to rev up the flavor a bit. I would say add more salt, but if the whopping 650 mg (27% of the daily value) didn't do the trick, I don't think a dash or two more would.

One container (1 serving) of Boca Meatless Chili provides only 150 calories, 1 gram of fat, no cholesterol, 20 grams of protein, 6 grams of sugar and 12 grams of fiber.

This is perfect except for the high sodium, and the portion size is perfect for a hearty, filling dinner (9.5 ounces). It comes in a microwaveable bowl, so the directions couldn't be simpler, just cut a slit in the top, microwave for a few minutes, stir it all together, then maybe microwave a little bit more (I had to) and viola!

I am a big fan of this product and at $2.37 I think this is a good deal. It costs more to get fast food or takeout, so I think I'll definitely be eating more of this in the future.
