Who:Annabel Karmel

What:Annabel Karmel's Frozen Meals for Toddlers & Kids

Why:

Annabel Karmel’s Frozen meals were cooked and tested over the course of the Junior Design Award Judging days and the response was unanimous. Our testers all agreed that these were super tasty meals that kids would really look forward to eating. All the meals in the range are carefully balanced, containing plenty of vegetables and low on salt. The Chicken Tikka in particular, went down extremely well!

 

NB: When there is only one shortlisted entry in a category, the brand will be scored according to a strict point system, taking into consideration quality, innovation and attention to detail. 

 

Annabel Karmel is synonymous with kids’ nutrition and her brilliant frozen meals ensure that parents can serve up yummy, carefully balanced meals when they just don’t have time to cook from scratch.

Junior has cooked and tasted all of these meals and they are so good! Low on salt but still so flavourful and portions are generous. Great value and so easy when you’re in a rush.

Eleonore Crompton, Deputy Editor, Junior

I struggle with the endless drudgery of meal prep and the pressure of finding not only healthy but also diverse dishes, so anything that solves this so beautifully is very welcome.
