What is mole?
Mole (pronounced moh-lay) is a sauce that is highly important to Mexican cuisine. Mole is made in countless variations, and for our Mexican Quinoa Bowl, we use a version known as mole poblano. This variety is the most well known to the American palette, and uses cacao as a main ingredient. We make our own mole poblano in-house using organic raw cacao, which provides a wonderfully warm and earthy flavor to this meal.
Is this meal spicy?
Not so much hot, as it is flavorful. We include many warming spices such as coriander, cumin and cinnamon. If spicy-hot just isn't your thing, have no fear! This is a mild dish.

Clean ingredients are a must for me, and I had a hard time finding meals for camping that weren’t loaded with preservatives and tasted great, these meals were awesome and filling!
We absolutely love our good to go meals, and the fact that there are vegan options! In our household, we are trying to do everything we can to reduce harm and suffering of animals and help the environment, so the vegan options are key for us! The fact that they are so yummy is just an added bonus!
The Mexican Quinoa Bowl is a little too much dark chili from perfect for me. Texture and ingredients are otherwise excellent. Caloric content is great.
My friends and I took Good To Go Meals to share on our 4-day backpacking trip through the Smokies. As a dietitian, I really value the fact that these meals are a much healthier alternative to a lot of backpacking meals out there. And they are SO yummy and filling! We enjoyed this one with tortillas (chef’s kiss).
The food was good, just not my favorite taste on this one
