Tomato & Pepper Risotto Pot Meal - Meal Replacement

I have been pretty impressed with the flavour and quality of most of the products in my Exante four week diet box so far so ordered five of these and the mushroom risotto to add a bit of variety. I have never tasted anything so hideous as this risotto. I couldn’t even finish it. The taste, the consistency. Yuk. The other four have gone in the bin. Being strict about what you eat will obviously result in missing out on truly delicious however no amount of weight loss would make me eat another one of these again.

This was my first order from Exante, one of two pots and a pancake mix. The summary is: this won't be my last order! I'm not sure why this is called a meal replacement as it's a meal. It's a small meal, yes, but tasty and surprisingly filling. I had hoped it would be homely, suggestive of cosy kitchen fare, reading nooks on rainy days and escaping the winter chill. It succeeded. I wasn't expecting it to do such a good job at lasting as I feared I'd hover a tiny portion down in a mouthful. My future plans are to get more of this and similar posts for lunches at work. Hot food from hot water is simply convenient. Add an apple or banana to the lunch and we're at a good meal level. Overall? Give it a try; I did and was pleased.

Made me heave. The texture was lole sludge and the taste was too peppery I couldn't eat more than 2 mouths full

Consistency is to be expected but my GOODNESS it's salty, and that's coming from someone who loves salt! I'm bloomin ravenous but I don't actually think I can even eat all of it. Still, it helped me drink lots of water! Every cloud :)

A bit stodgy. Not a very nice flavour. Struggled to finish the whole pot

I was so excited to try the risotto! But the taste is very unpleasant and very artificial. Otherwise, despite the other reviews, I thought the consistency was fine. I could only manage a couple of spoonfuls :(

As so often with reviews it comes down to individual taste and preference; I enjoy savoury foods and found this extremely tasty..herby rather than salty as another reviewer said. I used the recommended amount of water but left 10 minutes and all cooked well. Expectations should be managed, this is a meal replacement for 200 calories it will not look like an Italian restaurant risotto but it is filling, tasty and hopefully helping to shift the pounds which is the reason everyone is buying in the first place

This is the first product I've tried that wasn't a bar or shake, sorry to say it doesn't live up to normal standards , I can't describe what the taste is other than disgusting, avoid this and order one of the many delicious products Exante make

This didn’t look anything like risotto. Sloppy mush, as I tipped it on to a plate to eat with broccoli as a ‘real meal’. It tasted awful, one of only a few of the Exante products I wouldn’t order again. I had high hopes, sounded potentially tasty, and easy to take to eat at work but a huge No from me.

This has the weirdest powdery texture ever, added extra water to one, added some seasoning to a second one, but I just can't eat it! It's like salty mush unfortunately
