Lean Cuisine

Best frozen meals

I have been eating Lean Cuisine for lunch ever since graduate school, when I only had 5-10 minutes for lunch daily. I love all the different types of food they have. THey are so good and easy to cook and eat. view more

Lean Cuisine, yum!

I love Lean Cuisine meals! I'm always keeping a few on hand. If I have a craving for pasta, I just buy Lean Cuisine Mac & Cheese or something similar. I never feel guilty eating pastas when it's Lean Cuisine. They taste great too! view more

Lean Cuisine Swedish Meatballs

I love bringing a Lean Cuisine meal to work with me for my lunch. While I try to prepare my own meals but sometimes just run short on time. It's great to throw a Lean Cuisine in my lunch box and hit the road. The Swedish Meatballs are my favorite. I feel like I am getting a good portion and not scrounging for more food after I eat it. view more

Satisfying and Delicious!

This is my only choice for frozen meals. There is a great variety of meals to choose from and they are all delicious. As a college student, I don't always want to cook so this is what I choose instead. view more

LOVE this line!

My entire family loves this line. We each have our favorites and with such an expansive menu, there are plenty of options to find your own favorite. We love that the food tastes natural, not overly processed and is easy to make. The only negative is that the larger pieces of chicken (say, an entree with a chicken breast instead of chicken bits) tends to taste the least authentic, like chicken nugget texture. We typically stay away from these options. Other than that, we love nearly the entire line! view more

Spa Cuisine

Lean Cuisine Spa Cuisine is a must have for me. I used to be on the Nutrasystem diet and it worked. I lost 35 pounds but the food is too expensive for me. so i wanted not only create healthy meals on my own, i needed a meal that when I was too tired to cook or a lunch meal. I read online that the Spa Cuisine was close to the Nutrasystem meals and had more veggies the the other Lean Cuisine. it taste great. I don't feel like i cheated. My favorite the Butternut Squash Ravioli. view more

I could live off of these!

I love Lean Cuisine!! They have so many choices, something for whatever kind of mood you're in. They taste great, are healthy and easy to prepare, and priced reasonably. I love that they are constantly coming out with new varieties. Lean Cuisine is something that will be part of my diet for a long time to come!! view more

Ravioli

I just had a Lean Cuisine Ravioli. It tastes good! It took 3 minutes + stir + 1 minutes in the microwave and then 2 minutes standing. My only concern is that it cooled off quite quickly, probably a consequence of the microwave action. view more

Delicious and Healthy

I have been eating a lean cuisine every day for lunch for about the past month. There are so many to choose from that I don't get board and they are good to my diet. My favorite is the chicken enchilada and rice. YUM view more

Lean Cuisine Cheese Ravioli

I usually have Smart Ones' Cheese Ravioli and really enjoy it. Lean Cuisines were on sale, so I decided to give their Cheese Ravioli a shot, especially since it was 1 Weight Watcher point less (4 versus 5) than the Smart Ones version! (This was before the conversion to PointsPlus.) Overall, they are quite similar. Both have about 6 raviolis per package; both brands' raviolis are square with "ridged edges" and are filled with a tasty cheese mixture (Ricotta, Mozzarella, Parmesan and Romano, according to LC; creamy ricotta according to SO). The cheese might have been a bit more flavorful in LC's and I felt that each ravioli was a bit puffier (i.e. fatter) than SO's. Sauce-wise, it's pretty similar in taste (LC: chunky tomato sauce accented with basil, onion and garlic; SO: earty spinach marinara sauce), but in consistency, SO wins. SO's sauce is thicker, there's a lot more of it and it has spinach, which ups the satisfaction quotient. Would I buy LC's again? Probably, if it was cheaper than SO's or I had a coupon... I like that it's less points/calories, but the watery sauce, while fine taste-wise, was a bit of a letdown. Plus, there are some other LCs I like more... view more

Lean Cuisine Cheese Ravioli

I usually have Smart Ones' Cheese Ravioli and really enjoy it. Lean Cuisines were on sale this past weekend, so I decided to give their Cheese Ravioli a shot, especially since it was 1 Weight Watcher point less (4 versus 5) than the Smart Ones version! Overall, they are quite similar. Both have about 6 raviolis per package; both brands raviolis are square with "ridged edges" and are filled with a tasty cheese mixture (Ricotta, Mozzarella, Parmesan and Romano, according to LC; creamy ricotta according to SO).

Lean Cuisine Asian-Style Pot Stickers

First off, these are more gyoza (Japanese) than dumpling/pot sticker (Chinese). The difference, in my opinion, is that gyozas have a thinner dough and are longer/thinner. That's pretty much what these are. Taste-wise, the gyozas are great. The dough was soft, but crispy at the top (which I like) and the filling (vegetable) was flavorful and a nice consistency. The rice (with peas and carrots) was fine, but lacked flavor. I tried to mix the "asian-style dipping sauce" into the rice as much as possible, but they are on opposite ends of the tray, so some sauce gets left behind. I would have liked it a lot better if the sauce was evenly distributed over the dumplings & rice, giving more pizazz to the rice. Satisfaction-wise, there are a good amount of gyozas (I forgot to count, but at least 5 I think) and the meal is filling. If they could "up" the flavor factor of the rice, I'd definitely buy this again. For now, I'll stick to the other meals I know I consistency love. view more

Lean Cuisine's Spinach, Artichoke and Ch...

The ingredients/flavors of this panini sounded intriguing (Seasoned white meat chicken with spinach, artichokes, tomatoes, garlic, cheese & Parmesan sauce on Italian bread) and I typically like the paninis - although they do tend to cut and/or burn the roof of my mouth a bit (this one was no exception!). They finally got rid of the annoying "pull-to-open" bag and this one is just a regular plastic bag that can be ripped open. To cook, you place the panini halves (on the "Revolutionary Grilling tray) in the microwave for 2:45 minutes. Usually, I need to cook them for 30 seconds or more after, but this one was all set. The smell was a bit interesting (nice, mixed with a somewhat not-great scent - maybe the spinach??) so I was a bit wary. The bread had some "grill marks" on it, but was a bit soft in places. As I ate, parts of it did get crispier though, so perhaps the Grilling tray works?? I put the two halves together, to form a sandwich, but you could eat them open-faced if you want. It's probably not as messy, as when I bite, the insides ooze out! But it's still tasty! This panini has some great flavors - I could definitely taste the artichoke (there were some decent-sized pieces) and Parmesan. The garlic wasn't overwhelmingly obvious, but I like a LOT of garlic. I would definitely buy this one again! view more

Lean Cuisine Paninis

I really enjoy the Lean Cuisine paninis. The bread actually gets hard enough that it sometimes cuts the roof of my mouth (ok, that sucks, but the taste is worth it!). They have a great selection - some with meat, some with chicken, although they don't have any vegetarian ones yet. Some are better than others, but I don't think I've found any I dislike. view more

Lean Cuisine Chicken with Lasagna Rollat...

This is a low-fat version of Olive Garden's Taste of Italy: chicken parm & lasagna! Can't beat that combination, unless it's low fat. Tada!! In comes Lean Cuisine's version. The chicken is moist and tasty, the lasagna is cheese-a-licious! They go great together and is a rather filling meal. view more

Perfect lunches

I am not sure what I would do without Lean Cuise. I can't remember the last time I made a lunch. There are so many different kinds, you can have something different every day. I would try that but I love the BBQ chicken pizza. I could have it every day. view more

Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Chicken Flatbread...

First off, I did not expect the cheesy surprise on the flatbread! It made it a bit messier (but then again, these always are - with the cheese melting out and the chicken and veggies falling out), but kicked it up a notch. I love the cheesy, goeyness of these melts. This flatbread melt was good, but not as flavorful as some of the other LC flatbread melts I've tried. I didn't really taste the sun-dried tomatoes or basil, but it was still a good sandwich. Some of Lean Cuisine's flatbread melts are 6 Weight Watcher points, some are 7. This one is 7 points. So, while I would definitely buy this one again, I'd lean toward a 6-point one first. view more

Lean Cuisine pizzas

I used to hate lean cuisines. They tasted awful, there was never enough to fill me up and they weren't worth the price. Recently I tried the lean cuisine pizzas (not frenchbread) and I really enjoyed it! It was the pepperoni, which did have a slightly frozen/fake texture, but the overall taste of the pizza and the nice crunch of the crust really surprised me. I also tried the regular cheese pizza which didn't disappoint me either. These were also surprisingly filling. I suggest stocking up when they go on sale! view more

Great go to meals

I always try and make sure that I have a few lean cuisines meals in my freezer. If I am running late in the morning it is nice to know that I have something I can quickly grab that is healthy. I am doing Weight Watchers and I love that the points are listed right on the box. view more

Spaghetti and Meatballs

Spaghetti and Meatballs are by far my favorite. Most of the pasta is great. Did you know 1981 ? Brand launched with 10 items and launch communication focuses on "Good tasting entrees at less than 300 calories." view more

Go To Frozen dinner

When I am looking for a low calorie, good tasting meal, I typically have a stack on Lean Cuisines stocked in my freezer to choose from. Yes, they have sodium like all the frozen meals do, but they're not bad in the calories and fat and overall they taste pretty good. view more

Lean Cuisine Macaroni and Cheese

Eating healthy is either expensive or tasteless. With Lean Cuisine, I can take a healthy, tasty lunch to work for right around $2.00. It's cheaper than fast food, healthier, and tastes great! When they go on sale, I definitely stock up! view more

Excellent healthy eating!

As a Weight Watchers fan, I use Lean Cuisine all the time as a WW friendly tool. I am not generally a big fan of frozen foods but Lean Cuisine is so great! Very healthy and most importantly DELICIOUS. I stock pile their meals and have different ethnic foods on hand - pizza, enchiladas, pot stickers, thai, chinese, mexican, italian - so no matter what my family is in the mood for, if it is a high calorie dish, I will have my own Lean Cuisine version and will be able to stick to my diet! view more

Lean Cuisine Great Taste

For years, I loved Lean Cuisine frozen diet meals. They are delicious. They contain anywheres between 280-450 calories. They have a wonderful variety. Although they say they are healthy, if you have high blood pressure (the salt intake is quite high). All manufacturers of frozen meals use salt to preserve these dinners. I no longer can have them because of this. view more
