Points: 4 (listed on box)
Thoughts: I freely admit, this is a meal I return to time and time again. Why? Tastes great and low in points. It's a very pretty meal, with the red and green and white blended so well together. I especially love the asparagus and tomatoes, two items that I don't feel are found in microwaveable meals enough (aside from tomato sauces, of course). I'm not sure that I knew that the sauce was a "garlic sauce" until typing up the box description - so don't worry about excessive garlic taste or smell. I think I thought it was some sort of creamy, cheesy sauce. Either way, it's pretty delicious. And of course, as with most pasta-based meals, this one is satisfying and filling. And, as it's only 4 points, you have a number of options of what to pair with this meal to keep you going throughout the afternoon.
Rating: 4.5 stars. Add more veggies, and it would be the perfect meal.

Food Review - Lean Cuisine Sesame Stir Fry with Chicken
Box description: Edamame & broccoli with white meat chicken & whole wheat vermicelli in a sesame sauce
Nutritional Info: 300 calories, 6 grams fat, 5 grams fiber, 20 grams protein
Points: 6 (listed on box)
Thoughts: This is one of my all time favorite Lean Cuisine meals, so I'm biased. To start, this meal contains a good amount of vegetables, probably enough to constitute a full serving, perhaps more. The chicken is properly cooked and cut into small enough pieces to make you feel like you're really getting a lot. The sauce is slightly sweet, but not too sweet, and balances out the flavor of the vegetables. The meal is colorful and very filling, and because of the noodles and all the different vegetables, feels like it takes a while to eat, which for me, makes it that much more satisfying.
Rating: 5 stars. Highly recommended.
