    Depends on the actual meal you pick. They both have high sodium in many of their meals!

    Depends on which entree...

    They are both full of sodium and preservatives- want to be careful not to always eat these.

    **I am a HUGE fan of Kashi. They use natural ingredients with less sodium than the other frozen meals. They are tastier, in my opinion.

    Taste wise, I am a lean cuisine or healthy choice fan....

    I usually just go with whichever one happens to be on sale that week. They're interchangable IMO

    I go healthy choice because they have more veggies. I only use them when I have no other resort because, koff koff, MY cooking beats them hands-down!

    My food rocks :bigsmile:

    I avoid these as much as I can due to high sodium content each one has but if I have no other alternative or want something very quick, am short on time, I pick Lean Cuisine but I check of all the entrees they carry which one has less sodium.

    I agree completely! Kashi is most likely the best option. Frozen foods are deceptive because of the very high Sodium :(

    Kashi tries to eliminate the sodium and uses much better ingredient! And they taste GREAT!! :)

    For taste, I've always thought Smart Ones. But like everyone else has said, neither are great for you b/c of the sodium
