One of my goals in 2011 is to work towards a healthier lifestyle. Exercising, eating healthier foods, and drinking less soda and more water are all part of my plan. I recently headed to Walmart to look at some frozen dinner options since I normally eat meals alone.
I bought a variety of Lean Cuisine entrees and snacks and a Skinny Cow dessert. I wanted to share my thoughts on them in case any of you are looking for quick, delicious tasting foods for yourself.
I normally don’t buy the single serving boxed pizzas because I find that they are normally soggy. This flavor sounded so good so I bought it anyways. I loved that the pizza had plenty of cheese, chicken, and sauce. I made mine in the microwave and found the crust to be cooked just right. The flavor was wonderful also. I would definitely try these pizzas again (maybe the Spinach and Mushroom Pizza- Deep Dish?)
“Asiago cheese and caramelized onion stuffed tortelloni with tomatoes,yellow and green zucchini and yellow carrots in a tomato vodka sauce.” Doesn’t that make your mouth water? This was one of the meals that steams fresh in a microwave and then you take it out, shake the bag, and your meal is ready to eat. I loved the flavor of this entree. I also loved that the vegetables were crunchy.
There are three kinds of Spring Rolls but I tried the Fajita-Style Chicken ones and the Garlic Chicken ones. They can be cooked in the microwave or oven. Honestly, I like them baked in the oven best but they taste just as good cooked in the microwave (though just not as crunchy). My favorite of the two was the Fajita-Style Chicken ones. They were so good I had to go back to the store and get more! They are filling and are great for a snack or as a side (I paired mine with a salad). You can also dip them in something or eat them plain. I tried the Fajita ones with both sour cream and ranch dressing.
These Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches were great! I had only tried the Vanilla ones before so I was excited to try the Cookies ‘N Cream flavor. They were delicious! The best part was that they are only 150 calories each!
This is only a small sampling of the meals, snacks, and desserts that Lean Cuisine and Skinny Cow offer. View my Whrrl story to find out more about my shopping trip and my opinions on the products I tried.

I’m wondering, which is your favorite Lean Cuisine product? Let me know which one you think I should try next!

Love the soggy pizza saga. I haven’t tried the spring rolls yet. I did buy some, but didn’t see that the Fajita style ones said spicy …something. Are they very spicy? I’m a wimp. lol
Sandy, I don’t like spicy things either but I LOVED these spring rolls. I did discover that dipping them in ranch dressing takes some of the kick out, too so maybe you could try them and then dip them in some sort of sauce if you thought they were too spicy?
I like their basil chicken
I’m glad I read this because I didn’t know about the Spring Rolls. I’m definitely going to try them with my daughter. And also the Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches. I wanted to find out how they wee and no one I knew ever tasted them so after reading your review here I’m going for it. :)

I really like the skinny cow ice cream sandwiches! The cookies and cream is my favorite flavor! They help cure a sweet tooth without the extra calories in the regular ice cream!
I love the chicken spring rolls too!
