Good taste: Lean Cuisine honestly good meals

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Lean Cuisine, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HonestlyGood #ad http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO.

Several years ago I came to the realization that I had to change the way I eat. I had reached the point where my metabolism had changed – as in slowed down. I could no longer diet for a week and then go back to normal eating because I would just be on a constant seesaw of gaining and losing those few extra pounds. I tried cutting back a little at each meal. Smaller portions for breakfast, lunch & dinner. It sounded like a good plan except that I found out I have no portion control.



I went to Plan B which was to completely switch out my lunch for a premade light entrée and introduce some healthier foods into my kitchen. Here are some of the ways I’m trying to eat healthier all of which I’ve posted about here on homework.

Apples and fresh home grown vegetables used to create new and interesting dishes help me feel more energized.

Homemade granola is tastier and healthier than the prepackaged bars and wild rice and quinoa bring new flavors and texture to the table.

Pomegranates and blueberries are full of antioxidants and nothing beats fresh vegetables from the garden.

By eating healthier and reducing one meal a day, I feel better and keep my weight under control. Buying premade lunches is the perfect solution for me. I don’t have to figure out what a portion is and meal prep is so easy. Just heat and eat! My brand of choice has always been Lean Cuisine. They have an unbelievable selection of tasty meals and now, they are introducing a new line - Lean Cuisine Honestly Good meals. I stocked up on some of these new tasty meals on a recent visit to Target.

The Lean Cuisine Honestly Good meals are 100% all natural with wholesome ingredients and Lean Cuisine and their farmers are donating a portion of the vegetables grown for Lean Cuisine Honestly Good meals to local communities. I like that!

The meal comes with a separate sauce packet that you add while cooking the meal. I love this feature because it keeps the sauce where you want it instead of lost under the veggies and pasta.

I tried the Honey Citrus Chicken and it was yummy! A chicken breast with honey citrus glaze, broccoli florets, yellow squash and whole grain pasta with spinach, slivered almonds and sun dried tomatoes. The other meals in the new collection are Lemongrass Salmon, Pineapple Black Pepper Beef, Plum Ginger Grain-Crusted Fish, Pomegranate Chicken and Roasted Red Pepper Chicken. I can’t wait to try them all. What a treat.

There was a day when I could eat whatever I wanted and just burn it off. But those days are long gone and that’s okay. Eating healthier doesn’t mean you have to give up tasty food.

Thanks for visiting.
