O-M-G. Lean cuisines Thai Style Chicken Spring rolls are AMAZING!!!! I had them for the first time today for lunch. They seriously taste like something at a restaurant that is not low cal or low fat. My lunch today, a frozen meal, was better than the one that was catered at a conference yesterday. A lot of Lean Cuisines, Smart Ones, etc. are just kind of blah or just decent, but this one is out of this world!!!! For 3 it is only 200 calories, 7 g fat, and if you eat the whole box like i did, it is still only 400 calories, 14 g fat.

    I love these too, and like you, I just get all wild and crazy and eat them all. Who eats half a box of Lean Cuisine? LOL

    That's funny, I ate my first lean cuisine in a long time today (5-cheese rigatoni) and they gained a customer again. Im vegetarian so I can't try yor suggestion but the one i had today was delicious. I am going try some more vegetarian ones.

    This was my 1st one in awhile as well. Maybe they have improved their ingredients/recipes or something. I also love any of their pasta ones like the rigatoni. Usually when I eat those I am still hungry and have to eat something else but with these rolls the whole 6 of them was perfect for satisfaction. And yeah the only way I would eat half the box (3 rolls) is if I had a really big salad or lots of veggies to go with it. I'm looking forward to trying the Southwestern rolls too.

    I like the lemon chicken + brown rice risotto lean Cuisine a lot. I wa suprised because I tried the spaghetti and meatballs one and hated it/swore never to eat another Lean Cuisine again! The paninis are delicious to :) Need to look out for the spring rolls!

    I am not vegetarian but LOVE the Amy's meals! All vegetarian and although they have a "light" range, a lot are around 300 cals anyway (the paneer + rice and chilli/cornbread are so good!)

    I'm also vegetarian, and have found my favorite meal from lean cuisine to be their Three Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni.. I love the convenience of frozen meals, but hate their high sodium counts (usually 600mg+!!) The rigatoni I mentioned is only 370mg, MUCH lower than most other meals they offer - which is why its one of the few flavors I'll buy nowadays!

    i eat a lot of lean cuisine too. there is something else i eat too that is more 'natural'..oh ya healthy choice. i like the santa fe beans and rice from lean cuisine..i think the smart ones version is not vegetarian friendly..it has chicken broth in it.

    You should try their new Steamers!

    They are my favorite right now. :)

    I have some of the garlic ones in my freezer right now......just as a warning for some people though they are a little high in sodium. I didn't know that at first.......doesn't change how good they are but I carry extra weight when I have too much salt so just thought i'd add that in.

    Love lean cuisine. I'm not a big fish eater but I really like the salmon one.

    These have been my fav since they came out maybe 2 mo. ago :) Only processed frozen food I eat really! They are super popular and run out a lot so I always stock up. Garlic Chicken and the Fajita ones are amazing- don't care for the Thai style so much. Can't beat the content and how filling they are for only 200 little cals!

    The steamers are excellent but one of my favorite meals is the lean cuisine's lemon pepper fish. YUM!

    Cheese Ravioli and Lasagna w/meat sauce. I try to eat these as rarely as possible but i keep some of these 2 types on hand just in case I'm running late or I need a quick easy meal to take somewhere. The sodium is horrible, but they have come a long way.
