Quick and Easy Meals from Lean Cuisine

I’m a huge fan of Lean Cuisine. I’ve used them in conjunction with a couple of weight loss programs to lose weight pretty quickly but also to teach me how to eat better. As a teacher, I’d bring one to work along with a bag of frozen veggies and heat it all up at lunch. For me, it was the simplest way to track what I ate and learn that being full didn’t mean I needed to bring a small tub of spaghetti and meatballs.
Not saying that’s not delicious though. Just my thighs loved it a bit too much.
Lean Cuisine launched a line called “Honestly Good” that I picked up at Target about a week ago. The Lean Cuisine Honestly Good meals are: Honey Citrus Chicken, Lemongrass Salmon, Pineapple Black Pepper Beef, Plum Ginger Grain-Crusted Fish, Pomegranate Chicken, and Roasted Red Pepper Chicken.
I tried 4 out of the 6 they offer. I have to admit, I usually tend to pick frozen meals that don’t include any kind of meat because a lot of the time the meat is just – boingy. I steer clear of it so I’m not having to pick it out of my meal. With the Honestly Good meals, meat is in each one. So I heated them up, added the sauce, and tried it.
Thankfully, the meat/chicken/fish isn’t anything like that. It’s just normal tasting.
I looked forward to a lunch that was simple and didn’t leave me feeling sluggish all day. I also liked how quick it was, and how you could add your own amount of sauce. I’d buy them again.

These look much better than other frozen meals. They would work well when I forget to pack a lunch. I like to leave a couple in the freezer at work just in case!

Unfortunately these meals tend to be really high in sodium, so I avoid them. They are okay in a pinch though.

Boingy. That’s a perfect description.
