Meatballs are reportedly a $2 billion category, so why am I talking about meatballs? Because Real Good Foods now has eight chicken meatball flavors at Walmart, including four new ones. They're made with chicken, they pack more protein than a lot of beef or pork meatballs, there are no seed oils, and they heat up in the microwave in a few minutes. I tried four of them and ranked them.
Why This Is a Big Deal
Meatballs are reportedly around a $2 billion category, and most of what's in the freezer aisle is beef or pork. Real Good Foods is going after it with chicken, which is how they've built their whole brand: comfort food remade with more protein. Bringing eight flavors to Walmart is a serious push, and with up to 24 grams of protein per serving on the bag, these fit a high-protein diet a lot better than a typical frozen meatball.
All 8 Real Good Foods Chicken Meatball Flavors
The new flavors are Jalapeño Cheddar, Shawarma Style, Street Corn and Sun-Dried Tomato Basil, plus the classics: Homestyle, Little Chicken Meatballs, Italian Style and Pineapple Teriyaki. They're gluten and grain free, with no seed oils.
Real Good Foods Chicken Meatballs Ranked
- Italian Style, 9.5/10: It's juicy and you get the seasonings. This is my number one.
- Pineapple Teriyaki, 9.4/10: You get the pineapple teriyaki flavor, and it's juicy.
- Homestyle, 9.2/10: It reminds me of a classic meatball, and once again, it's very good.
- Little Chicken Meatballs, 8.5/10: Solid texture, and it's juicy, not dry.
