Lean Cuisines, Healthy Choice and Smart Ones-What are your favorites?


Quote  |  Reply

I've been eating Lean Cuisines, Healthy Choice and Smart Ones dinners for quite a while now, and while I have my preferences, I'm curious what every one else likes/doesn't like the most? What do you like about the ones you do eat, or what don't you like about a particular dinner?

I, myself, really love the Lean Cuisine Cafe Classics Shrimp Al Fredo, but then I add about an ounce of extra shrimp, some shredded Romano or Parmesan Cheese and an ounce of thin spaghetti-really "pimp" it out, so to speak. So I'm adding about 174 more calories, but it tasted delicious!

So what're you all eating? What's your fav? What's your least fav?

Now that I'm a stay at home mom,  I dont' buy these as much as when I was working.  But when I was buying them, the Lean Cuisine Honey Djon Chicken w/ Greenbeans and almonds was my favorite.  I would eat the chicken, and then mix my beans into the Honey-Djon sauce.  Tongue out  So yummy!  I would usually eat it with a big glass of milk, and that seemed to keep me full til I got home for dinner. 

I used to eat these 5 out of 7 nights a week.  I started cooking for myself and don't think I have had one in 3 months.  In fact, there's still 3 in the freezer taking up space from my home cooked foods.  They are fine in a pinch, but I know how to cook, I like to cook, and honestly, I couldn't tell one from the other after a while.

I do a lot of Smart Ones..just becuase it's hard to find the vegetarian ones.

I like the broccoli alfredo & ravioli ones the best, although there is one Pasta Medly by Healthy Choice that I love.

I like smart ones Santa Fe Chicken ...yum. I also love the Kashi Ranchero beans with pilaf.

I ate these after I had my first son inorder to lose some baby weight. I think I mostly ate the Safeway brand Eating Right. I would usually have one for dinner and then add a bag of steamed vegetables just to make it more filling. I stopped eating them when I started cutting out packaged foods that had weird ingredients. Sometimes I buy Amy's Organic Indian dishes which I think are tastey. 

Safeway's EatingRight brand is awesome. I buy that band because the 10 dinners I've tried taste good and they're always $2 and between 210-370 calorie count. If I'm in the mood to "splurge" I'll go for LeanCuisine's Chicken Alfredo, now that's some good eatin.

My favorite Lean Cuisine is the butternut squash ravioli..........yum!  It is loaded with veggies and leaves me satisfied!   The sauce is close to an alfredo flavor

Looooooooove the lean cuisine paninis! The lemon chicken + brown rice risotto is good too!

I don't like the healthy choice meals, and only tried the enchilada smart ones- pretty good, but prefer lean cuisines.

I like Amy's the best though for frozen entrees!

Lean Cuisine BBQ Chicken Pizza, ftw.

The Smart One's Three Cheese Ziti. So yummy! I eat them about 2 times a week.

;)
