Yes! Sprouts has several frozen meals that would be generally considered to be Paleo.
We’ll cover these meals in this article.
Whether you’re a seasoned Paleo practitioner, or you’re just getting started on your Paleo journey, there are always going to be food-related questions that need answering. There has been a lot of interest from readers about what is available at their local store.

We cover the following....
Paleo Frozen Meals at Sprouts
So we’ve already said that there are Paleo frozen meals available at Sprouts, but just how extensive is their line? These are the meals we could uncover that Sprouts stocks that would generally be considered to be Paleo (at least by many).
Here are 3 of their Paleo frozen entrees, which are on offer at most of their stores.
Cedarlane Adobo Chicken Paleo Bowls – This Paleo bowl has riced cauliflower as a base, with white chicken and a coconut amino-balsamic vinegar marinade.
Cedarlane Lemon Thyme Chicken Paleo Bowls – Cedarlane’s Lemon Thyme bowl has a base of roasted root vegetables topped with white chicken and a lemon-thyme marinade.
Birch Benders Paleo Toaster Waffles – These can be found in the frozen section at Sprouts, and contains tiger nut flour and cassava starch with the goal of making compliant waffles. Although most would consider technically Paleo, we don’t recommend using these as a dinner replacement every night – probably better as an occasional breakfast or after dinner treat!
Bear in mind that Sprouts is consistently adding things to their stores, so if there’s something that you want them to add to their line, make sure you get in contact and tell them. This is the only way to let them know that there’s a demand for more Paleo frozen meals.
Unfortunately, this is all Sprouts has on offer in terms of Paleo frozen meals. As you can see, there’s not a huge line of frozen meals that fit the Paleo parameters, but there are quite a few ‘quasi-Paleo’ frozen meals, which we’ll cover next.
Quasi-Paleo Frozen Meals at Sprouts
Quasi-Paleo frozen meals are meals that we consider mostly Paleo. All of the frozen meals we found at Sprouts to be ‘quasi-Paleo’ are completely gluten-free, so you don’t need to worry about accidentally eating gluten in any of the meals we’ve listed.
However, some of these meals will contain some non-Paleo ingredients, such as dairy, soy, added sugar, industrial seed oils, rice and legumes. It’s up to you whether you can tolerate small amounts of these ingredients in your diet, so we’ve listed which non-Paleo ingredients are in the meals listed below.
If you’re keeping primal and or are not intolerant to these ingredients, these quasi-Paleo frozen meals available at Sprouts can be a useful alternative if you’re struggling to find strict Paleo meals.
Gluten-free and dairy-free meals:
Red’s All-Natural Riced Cauliflower White Meat Chicken Teriyaki Bowl – This cauliflower bowl topped with chicken is gluten-free and dairy-free. The non-Paleo ingredients in this dish includes soybean and added sugars.
Blake’s Chicken Pot Pie – Blake’s Chicken Pot Pie is also gluten-free and dairy-free. However it contains soybean and rice which are not considered Paleo.
Red’s All-Natural Chicken & Riced Cauliflower Burrito Bowl – Another variation of Red’s cauliflower bowls is gluten-free and dairy-free. Where it uses cauliflower as a base, it takes out rice which is usually used as a filler in most frozen entrees. Its non-Paleo ingredients include sugar, canola oil and corn.
Amy’s Thai Pad Thai – Amy’s take on a gluten-free pad thai is also dairy-free. However, it does contain non-compliant ingredients such as tofu, sugar, rice, soybeans, cashews and industrial seed oils.
Gluten-free meals containing dairy:
Cedarlane Chicken Souvlaki – These bowls are part of Cedarlane’s other options, which also happen to be gluten-free. However, they aren’t marketed as Paleo because they contain dairy and rice. If you’re not concerned about the occasional meal with dairy or non-gluten grains, these are a good option.
Cedarlane Chicken Fajita – Similarly, the Cedarlane Chicken Fajita entree is also gluten-free. However, it does include whey, rice, beans and seed oils in the ingredients list.
Cedarlane Chicken Enchilada The Cedarlane Chicken Enchilada is gluten-free, and lists corn, beans, dairy, seed oils and soybean as part of the ingredients list.

Getting Paleo Frozen Meals Delivered to Your Home
For some, limiting yourself to what’s available at your local Sprouts may feel might still feel like your needs aren’t being met.
For example, the best of the options at Sprouts likely would not meet the needs of those who are keeping strictly to the diet and only eating meals that are exclusively grass-fed/wild-caught proteins and organic vegetables with no gray area ingredients. Mass-produced meals in any grocery store rarely fully qualify, even those marketed as Paleo.
If this is the case, don’t worry, because we’ve got you covered. The companies covered below deliver to your home, no matter where you live as long as you live in the US. These companies take the Paleo principles very seriously, often using ingredients that are more in line with Paleo principles than what you might be able to find to make meals at home.
It’s all well and good that there are a couple of Paleo frozen meal options at Sprouts, but 2 entrees and 1 waffle choice may not be suitable for your lifestyle.
For others, it’s fantastic that there are so many Paleo pantry and other options at Sprouts, but you might find that you simply don’t have time to assemble meals, hence the need for frozen entrees in the first place.
