Gluten Free Frozen Meals

[melisadki]

I am just looking for something to have in case I am having one of my bad days. Does anyone know a brand that carries gluten-free frozen dinners?

[tarnalberry]

There are a couple of gluten free frozen dinners in the health food stores, like Amy's. I think Seeds of Change may have one, and there's a Thai or Indian line that makes one or two as well.

For really easy meals, I like Amy's lentil soup, or the boxed Imagine Soups that are gluten-free.

I like the Amy's dinners. Not all are gluten-free though...you have to look for the ones that say gluten free.

Where do you get the Amy's dinners I never heard of them?

[Becky6]

Love Amy's! Was eating them way before I went gluten-free! Whole foods has them, my reg grocery store has them in their natural section and most co-ops have them. Just watch the labels.

I buy Kinnikinick frozen pizza crusts and put my own toppings on them while they are still frozen. I then put them back in the freezer and have frozen dinners for the rest of the week!

I may have to visit my Whole foods again. It is an hour drive but that is the only place that has anything around here.

Amy's--love those too. Look around, in addition to Whole Foods, Wild Oats etc, I have them in several local grocery stores too, Marsh & Kroger. You can also 'request' that a local store carry the products. Go here for more info: Open Original Shared Link

Thanks for the link. We also have a Whole Foods and Kroger. I did notice Kroger carries alot of gluten free stuff and they list it. Interesting.

You should be able to get Amy's near you---they are great. Some Krogers carry them and some do not. My current Kroger doesn't but my 'old' one did. Luckily there are two local grocery stores that carry them----I LOVE THEM!

Amy's Frozen Mac N Cheese is addicitive!!

Love it!! Love it!! Love it!!

The Rice Lasagna is good too (I add spices to it - but its decent)

I am hoping she has some meals with meat/protein because of my insulin resistance.

I cannot wait to go to the grocery store and find these two things!!!!

I read the labels. Several of the low calorie meals list no offending ingredients.

My condition is not so severe that minute amounts of cross contamination is a problem. None of them carry a label, "Gluten Free", though you can e-mail the manufacturer to check.

Also, BJ's Wholesale Club carries many Thai and Vietnamese instant meals that are gluten free (rice noodles). They fix quickly. I enjoy them at work and so do a couple of my co-workers. A couple others think they smell bad. If you enjoy them, they are always available. I carry a couple in my car. A cup of boiling water from the diner or deli is all you need for a meal. They are very cheap too--about 70¢ per meal.

I just Googled: "frozen dinners, gluten free"

Not only were there several listings for frozen meals, there were listings for companies that will deliver gluten free meals fresh to your door.

Your right^ dont they have to list gluten wheat by law now?

[jenvan]

melisadki-

you'll have to scope out amy's. they are all vegetarian, but have things like beans and soy for protein. they usually have a fair amount of carbs...so maybe not the best match for you unfortunately...

I found Marrie Calendar's "Slow Roasted Beef" to be gluten free. Its a typical TV dinner style. With beef, gravy(corn starch), beans, and mashed potatoes.

I was thrilled when I found out there was such thing as a TV dinner I could eat again.

also, if you have a Trader Joe's nearby, many of their frozen meals are gluten-free like the Beef Shepherd's Pie, Chicken Masala and Thai Lemongrass curry. All really good! You can get the complete list on their website:

The FDA has a website and discussions on the topic of labeling for gluten free.

Thanks for the links!

You can find Amy's in just about any supermarket - A&P, Pathmark, Stop & Shop, etc.

I love the bean & cheese enchiladas. Also if you have a Trade Joe's near you I buy the chicken taquitos there which come frozen. Those with some shredded cheese and canned Old El Paso vegetarian refried beans - Yum!

I know there are some other brands of chicken taquitos that are ok (i think it's Delimex) that everyone likes but I was never able to find them. Oh and also El Monterey has ones that are ok.

Tamarind Tree makes awesome indian food (boxed, you just stick the containers in boiling water or in hot water from the microwave). I found this at Publix (as well as Whole Foods/Harry's).
