i received a full value coupon to try the new lean cuisine fresh inspirations meal. i chose the mediterranean chicken flavor. i liked the taste of the broccoli and the chicken. i also liked that you could chose how much or how little of the sauce you wanted. i didn't care for the red peppers, because i find when peppers are frozen they tend to get a little mushy. i have tried many other types of frozen meals and find this to be one of the better ones i have tried. i really liked the pasta, it was just the right amount of tenderness. it didn't get mushy like other ones i have tried. i would most likely buy this product in the future and look forward to trying the other flavors. i will highly recommend this meal to family and friends.
I tried the Mediterranean chicken fresh inspirations. I do prefer cooking from scratch and I'm lucky enough to have time for that, but I wouldn't mind having a few Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations in the the freezer for a quick meal now and again. I thought this product was superior to other frozen microwavable meals I have tried in the past. I prepared my meal according to directions and chose to mix all of the chicken and sauce with the pasta. But it is nice to have the option of eating the meat and sauce and pasta/vegetables separately if you so desire. I think the separate steaming helps the pasta and veggies retain their nice texture. I liked that the chunks of chicken and vegetables were a good size and amount. The vegetables were flavorful and tender crisp. The chicken also tasted like real chicken and was tender, not mushy or dry . I can also say the same for the pasta. The meal was also visually appealing. I confess that when I opened the package, I thought "this is pretty small, it doesn't look like a lot of food" but it turned out to be just the right amount.
I Received this product Free To Test and thoroughly enjoyed it. the portion size was good. It tasted extremely good. I had the Shrimp Alfredo which was pleasantly surprised at the size of Shrimp and Amount that was in it.
I was one of the lucky ChickAdvisor's who received a coupon to try Lean Cuisine's Fresh Inspirations and I tried out the Chicken Thai flavour. As far as flavour, it was amazing! The chicken was tender, the rice cooked up nicely and was not clumpy or sticky, and the vegetables still retained some of their firmness so all of that was good. The Fresh Inspirations do a much better job on the rice then other microwavable dinners. I know that the Fresh Inspirations say you can customize the amount of sauce you can put in, and you can (sort of) but not really well. Basically you dump what they provide on the rice and vegetables.
I would recommend this product to a friend and will buy it again, when it is on sale.
The primary drawback I have with this product is that the serving size is small (especially for the non-sale price). Other issues are that the instructions don't provide a guideline for cooking if you are using a smaller microwave, they just tell you to cook it longer. Unfortunately, if you overcook then the rice and vegetables don't turn out well, so your really need to play it by feel. Also it would be nice to see the Inspirations included in the Stouffer/Lean Cuisine rewards program, especially since they are more expensive.
I had the Mediterranean chicken with pasta and tomato sauce. I was very shocked with the portions and the flavour. WOW !! I highly urge you to buy and try this product. I was happy with a full belly. I am most definitely going to buy some more of these din din's.
I received Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspiration free coupon to try. I chose the Shrimp Alfredo. It was okay, but then again what was I expecting from a pre-cooked frozen dish. It was not as tasty as I had hoped. I'd probably would have liked the chicken flavours better, thus I will try those before I make a final decision.
I received a coupon to try a Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations to review.
I decided to try the garlic chicken. It smelled delicious and tasted quite good. The potatoes weren't quite cooked but that was better than burnt!
The garlic was definitely strong which I liked, but I needed to chew some gum after as I was at work!
I don't think this product is worth the higher price charged compared to regular Lean Cuisines. I would buy this again if it was on sale and I had a coupon. I generally do not spend more than $1.99 on frozen dinners.
I got opportunity to review this item thanks to Lean Cusine and Chickadvisor
The flavour I chose was sweet & sour chicken since I can't eat any of the ones with pasta. It was Ok..But I found it more sweet, sugary than sour with nice flavour like I prefer. And the chicken tasted a bit strange and artificial. Other than that the rice and veggies were a nice light meal. All in all it really wasn't any better or worse then other microwaveable meals.
