I am trying to sample all of the various Lean Cuisine frozen meals. I have a bunch of the Spa Cuisine Classics.
For today’s late lunch I had the Lean Cuisine Pork Stir Fry (roasted pork, edamame & water chestnuts in an asian style garlic sauce over whole wheat pasta). The total calories are 280 with 45 calories coming from the 5 grams of fat. That works out to 16%. Not bad. It counts as 5 Weight Watchers Points. I microwaved it for about 4 minutes 30 seconds. I didn’t even need to cut the film (I am so used to doing that automatically). The pork was okay. The pasta and vegetables were pretty good. I am not a huge fan of stir-fry, so it didn’t come as a surprise that this didn’t bowl me over. I may try it again though. The fat percentage wasn’t bad.
I am still digging through my freezer trying all the different flavors of Lean Cuisine and Healthy Choice frozen meals. I have a few Lean Cuisines that I have tried that I just haven’t had time to write about yet.
This morning for breakfast I ate the Lean Cuisine Sweet & Sour Chicken (chicken tenderloins in a tangy sweet and sour sauce with long grain white rice). It has 300 calories and only 3 grams of fat. The 25 calories from the fat make up about 8% of the total calories. That is pretty low fat! It counts as 6 Weight Watchers Points.
The sweet and sour sauce was a little too sweet for my tastes. And it overwhelmed the taste of anything else. The rices was…well…rice. It was bland. I mixed it with the remaining sweet and sour sauce and that helped. But there wasn’t a lot of sauce left to flavor all the rice. Overall it the Lean Cuisine Sweet & Sour Chicken was okay. I love how low fat it was. But other than that I wasn’t big on it.
