Lean Cuisine Honestly Good

I received this product to try for free through Bzz Agent. 

Before trying Lean Cuisine Honestly Good meals, I wanted to know if they were a healthy meal option for someone who is counting calories. I have tried a few different frozen meal entrees that were supposedly healthy, and although they were lower in fat grams, they had high levels of sodium, and many processed products making them undesirable. I wanted to know if this product would taste good, fill me up at a meal, and was easy to find at the store.

Firstly, I had kind of a hard time finding this product at the store. I looked in the frozen section of several stores but to no avail. I even asked several people at several different stores for assistance and they said that if it wasn't next to the other Lean Cuisine options, they likely did not carry it yet. After several stores on several different occasions, I finally gave up. It was by chance that I happened to be at Target looking for an organic item for a nutrition class at school when I happened to spot the Lean Cuisine Honestly Good meals. I think that if the product were next to the other Lean Cuisine meals and not in the healthy organic section, they might be more noticeable and easier to spot to the general consumer. Once I found them at Target, I looked in the same sections at other stores and found them there.

Next I wanted to see if the item was as nutritionally sound as they claim. Surprisingly there were healthy ingredients and the additives were to a minimum. This was promising. The ingredients were whole grains, vegetables and lean meats. The calories were in check and it did have higher levels of vital nutrients and minerals than most frozen meals. One item that was a little concerning was the level of sodium. I understand that it was quite a bit lower than most frozen entree choices but was still higher that I would have preferred. Overall, I was impressed by the quality of ingredients and the whole grain products used.

Lastly, I wanted to know it this would fill me up for a meal. I had gotten the Lemongrass Salmon. It cooked up very nicely in the microwave and the meat was soft and fresh unlike most frozen meals. The salmon was not overly fishy tasting which I like and the vegetables and brown rice were a nice consistency. The sauce was excellent. I really enjoyed the flavor of the lemongrass. It was unique and fresh. The meal did fill me up for the most part. I added a piece of fruit and a glass of milk and the combination of the meal plus those extras was perfect. It left me comfortably full and not weighed down and gassy.

Overall, I was quite impressed with this product. I will definitely be switching my current choices for frozen meals over to Lean Cuisine Honestly Good in the future and can't wait to try the other options available. I have recommended this product to many people and will continue to do so in the future. Strong work Lean Cuisine!
