Frozen Entrees and Meals
Here's my first review of frozen entrees I have tried, I'll post more as I try them.
HEALTHY CHOICE COMPLETE SELECTIONS FOUR CHEESE MANICOTTI
This is one of my favorite meals! I love the cheese and the sauce in the manicotti; it is stuffed with ricotta, mozzerella, parmesan, and romano cheeses, and topped with a marinara sauce. I think it could use about a tablespoon or two more of the sauce though.
The brocolli florets in it are ok for a frozen meal; I make them tastier by using a few spritzes of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray and seasoning it with some Onion and Herb flavor Mrs.Dash.
The caramel apple crisp dessert in it is not at all crispy, but still tastes very delicious.
The entire meal is 380 calories, 6 grams of fat, 63 grams carbs, 8 grams fiber, and 16 grams protien.

Re: Frozen Entrees and Meals
HEALTHY CHOICE COMPLETE SELECTIONS GRILLED TURKEY BREAST
This dinner consist of grilled turkey breast (turkey had a "spongy" texture) with a cranberry sauce, (too much sauce for the small amount of meat), green beans and carrots sticks, (they were ok with a few spritzes of spray butter and some seasoning), and a peach dessert, which I didn't even taste since I don't like peaches.
The only part of the dinner I really liked were teh roasted sweet potatoes, there could have been more of them in my opinion.
Even though the sweet potatoes were good, because of the poor quality of the turkey in it I won't be buying this one again.

Re: Frozen Entrees and Meals
SMART ONES CHICKEN PARMESAN
Chicken breast and spaghetti with marinara sauce topped with cheese.
This was ok, nothing outstanding about it. I would probably buy it again if it were on sale and the varieties that I like better were out of stock.
I made a lettuce salad to go with this for a more complete meal.

Re: Frozen Entrees and Meals
HEALTHY CHOICE COMPLETE SELECTIONS MEATLOAF WITH BROWN GRAVY
I love meatloaf with mashed potatoes, and these are good! The dinner also includes green beans, which were very good for the frozen kind; as usual I added a little spray butter and seasoning to them. The apple cranberry dessert was also very good.

Re: Frozen Entrees and Meals
LEAN CUISINE CHICKEN A'L' ORANGE
This meal consists of chicken tenderloins with an orange glaze and rice with vegetables. It's very good! Not quite enough food for a complete meal, so I usually have a salad with it.

Re: Frozen Entrees and Meals
LEAN CUISINE SESAME STIRFRY WITH CHICKEN
This is one of my favorite Lean Cuisines; it consists of white meat chicken, edamame (not sure what it is, but I like it!), whole wheat vermilcelli in sesame sauce; it's part of their line that has "twice the veggies" in it. Great flavor and makes a filling meal for me.
300 calories, 6 grams fat, 41 grams carbs, 5 grams fiber, 20 grams protien
LEAN CUISINE LEMON CHICKEN
Another very good entree from Lean Cuisine. Lightly breaded chicken breast with rib meat in a lemon glaze, great lemony flavor, also brown rice risotto.
300 calories, 9 grams fat, 40 grams carbs, 15 grams protein
SMART ONES SLOW ROASTED TURKEY BREAST
A very good meal with turkey breast, gravy, and garlic herbed mashed potatoes. I usually heat some frozen mixed veggies to make this a more filling meal.
210 calories, 7 grams fat, 18 grams carbs, 18 grams protien

Re: Frozen Entrees and Meals
SMART ONES MACARONI AND CHEESE
This is very good! The best frozen mac and cheese I've tried. You get a generous sized portion also.
270 calories, 2 grams fat, 52 grams carbs, 2 grams fiber, 11 grams protien
LEAN CUISINE BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI
This is ravioli filled with butternut squash, in a creamy sauce with walnuts. It is one of their "twice the veggies" entrees with snap peas and carrots. I love this one! It is so good, I love the ravioli and my only complaint is that there isn't more of it, but I guess that would up the calorie count and it wouldn't be "lean" anymore, lol!
350 calories, 9 grams fat, 56 grams carbs, 6 grams fiber, 13 grams protien
LEAN CUISINE BAKED CHICKEN-COMFORT CLASSICS
Chicken tenderloins with cornbread stuffing and whipped potatoes, very good. I usually add a side of veggies and a small tossed salad to round out the meal.
240 calories, 4.5 grams fat, 34 grams carbs, 15 grams protien
SMART ONES LASAGNA FLORENTINE
5 layer lasagna with ricotta cheese, zuchchine and spinach. A very good entree. I usually have this with a peice of lite garlic toast and a tossed salad.
290 calories, 9 grams fat, 35 grams carbs, 15 grams protien
KASHI LEMONGRASS COCONUT CHICKEN
I tried this one because I had a coupon to use for a free Kashi product.
It is chicken breast with broccoli florets, carrots and sugar snap peas on pilaf with a lemongrass coconut sauce topped with coconut flakes. I was disapointed with this one, I couldn't taste any lemon or coconut flavor in it, just a garlic-ky flavor that I thought was too strong. It was ok, but nothing I'd buy again, though I would be willing to give the other Kashi entrees a try.
300 calories, 8 grams fat, 38 grams carbs, 18 grams protien

Re: Frozen Entrees and Meals
Meijer Lean Entrees: Swedish Meatballs
his is pretty good for a store brand frozen entree.
The noodles have a nice texture, and the meatballs are nicely seasoned. The portion size is good too.
Nutrition info: 340 calories, 7 grams fat, 24 grams protein.
It does have 800 mg of sodium, so probably not a good choice if you have to watch your salt intake.
