New Product Afia Sweet Potato & Kale Falafel Bowls

The scoop

If you’ve been looking for a healthier alternative to traditional falafel, Costco’s got something interesting in the refrigerated section. The Afia Sweet Potato & Kale falafel bowls bring a veggie-forward twist to the classic Middle Eastern favorite.

These frozen falafel bowls are made with smoked turmeric rice, sweet potato, kale, and raisins as the supporting star ingredients with a nice lemon vinaigrette to give it some flavorful zing. They come ready to heat and pack a hearty punch. The sweet potato & raisins add a subtle sweetness.

The falafel texture is pretty good – slightly crispy on the outside, though they definitely won’t be quite as crunchy as making them yourself at home or from a restaurant. This is definitely a veggie-forward dish.

Bottom Line: These are a solid option if you want a quick, plant-based protein that’s a bit different from the usual. They’re convenient for meal prep and genuinely tasty, though traditional falafel purists might miss the classic falafel crunch.
