Tim Hortons Habanero Veggie Loaded Bowl with Cheese – Expert Review

If you’re craving something hearty yet spicy, the Tim Hortons Habanero Veggie Loaded Bowl with Cheese is worth a try. As a foodie who’s sampled many quick-service bowls, I can say this one strikes a balance between comfort food and a healthier option.

The base is a mix of brown rice, quinoa, and black beans, which gives the bowl a satisfying bite and some added protein. Fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and crispy onions add crunch and freshness, while the habanero sauce brings real heat without overpowering the other ingredients. The melted cheese ties it all together, softening the spice with a creamy touch.

For Can$ 8.99, the portion feels fair. It’s filling enough to stand as a full meal, whether for lunch on the go or a light dinner. Compared to some of the heavier fast-food bowls, this one doesn’t feel greasy — which is a win for anyone looking for a more balanced option.

Nutrition Breakdown

As someone who pays attention to what goes into my meals, I appreciate that Tim Hortons shares detailed nutrition information. Here’s the breakdown for this bowl:

  • Calories: 550 kcal
  • Total Fat: 26 g
  • Saturated Fat: 5 g
  • Trans Fat: 0.4 g
  • Cholesterol: 25 mg
  • Sodium: 1,400 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 72 g
  • Fiber: 7 g
  • Sugar: 5 g
  • Protein: 12 g

At 550 calories, it’s not the lightest bowl on the menu, but it’s definitely manageable as a main meal. The fiber and protein keep you full, though the sodium is on the higher side — something to note if you’re watching your salt intake.

Customization Tips

One thing I like about Tim Hortons is how easy it is to customize your order. If you want to cut calories, you can skip the cheese or ask for less sauce. On the flip side, if you want extra indulgence, you can double up on cheese or add more crispy onions. Ordering in-store or through the app gives you the freedom to tweak it exactly to your liking.

Allergen Notes

This bowl does contain milk, wheat & gluten, soy, and egg, so it’s not suitable for everyone. If you have food allergies, it’s best to double-check with staff before ordering.

Final Verdict

As a foodie reviewer, I’d call the Habanero Veggie Loaded Bowl with Cheese one of the more interesting picks on the Tim Hortons menu. It’s flavorful, filling, and packs a punch of spice that stands out compared to the chain’s usual comfort-food offerings. While it’s not the cleanest “health food,” it delivers a nice balance of taste, texture, and heat for the price.

If you’re someone who enjoys a little spice in your meals, this bowl won’t disappoint.
