Fine by me
Just tried the tikka and it tastes fine, much better than your average microwave meal and way healthier. I only use ready meals if I'm rushed and dont have time for healthy food prep but I will be getting more of these.

I don't really understand the negative reviews, i have just recently tried some of the gym kitchen range and found them to be really tasty and full of flavour, my only suggestion would be to use wholemeal pasta in the pasta dishes.
Regularly get these meals in the tesco meal deal and I have to say I'm very impressed, nice to have a high protein option with low calories that still taste good. Gets a thumbs up from me.

Som dishes are better than others, but they are all good or very good, salt and pepper chicken is my favourite followed by chicken tikka massala. All have a good amount of protein and veg and are the perfect size
I’m trying to loose a few pounds through counting calories. I came across these meals. The didn’t look that appealing before being cooked, but once cooked the two meals I’ve had up to now (Paella & chicken tikka massala) have been very filing and full of flavour (and also reasonably priced- paella
I have tried many brands of Protein and Diet meals and alternatives, and nothing comes close to what these guys are doing. I have sampled quite a few of their ready meals, and they're quick, easy, and taste great whilst being filling! I just had a noodle pot from a hectic day, and the chicken and mushroom have great flavour and texture. I hope this company continues to grow and brings out more products! Want to give more stars!
I had Thai Green Chicken Curry (purchased from Tesco). Wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was. Really tasty and lots of chicken. Often these ready meals don't have much of the meat/veg. Very enjoyable. Would defo buy again.
Just tried the tikka, didn't find it bland at all, especially as it's a microwave meal. Ticked all boxes for me: Convenient Tasty High protein Healthy ingredients Low in fat
All of the bad reviews are missing the point. These are healthy ready meals without any emulsifiers and additives. It’s the closest thing to real food and a lot cheaper than a lot of food box subscriptions. We need more of this on our shelves! I hope they expand and scale out to all of the supermarkets! I’m really impressed and I actually feel good after eating them.
Fantastic frozen meal. I tried the frozen range and found the chicken tikka and some others very rich, tasty and satisfying. The food is low in calories (a big plus) and handy with my busy family lifestyle. These meals are enjoyable and value for money.
I really like the chilled meals! I haven't tried the frozen ones as they're not available in ASDA yet. I also haven't tried the noodles. But the chilled meals are great! I understand the ingredients - they use real food - it has lots of veggies, protein and some carbs - balanced!! Far outweighs every other (affordable) ready meal that I have seen so far. Great for me! The sleeve is cardboard and recyclable, too... I put the film in the supermarket plastic recycling and the tray in home plastic recycling. Thanks Gym Kitchen!
