Top Frozen Meals Rated by Consumer Reports

January 12, 2010 | Reviewer: Abi Jones

The February edition of Consumer Reports (which I haven’t yet received – we’re still on the January one – cell phones – yawn) includes ratings of 24 microwavable diet meals. The items that got some of the top scores for tasting good and containing 600 milligrams or less of sodium include:

Kashi Chicken Florentine – we rate it 4 stars
Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers Roasted Beef Merlot (review of non-steamer Healthy Choice Beef Merlot) – we rate is 3 stars
Lean Cuisine Cafe Classics Steak Tips Portabello
Lean Cuisine One Dish Favorites Santa Fe-Style Rice and Beans – Jay rated it 3 stars, personally I think this is a 4 star item.
Kashi Black Bean Mango – we rate it 3-4 stars depending on your health preferences
Kashi Garden Vegetable Pasta
Healthy Choice All Natural Entrees Portabello Spinach Parmesan (the product and packaging have changed since the test) – WHOA, this gets just 1 star from us.
Lean Cuisine Cafe Classics Shrimp Alfredo – we haven’t reviewed this, but Lean Cuisine’s Shrimp and Angel Hair Pasta gets a whopping zero stars. Heat Eat Review does not have a good track record with most fish-containing frozen meals.

One year ago: Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers General Tso’s Spicy Chicken
Two years ago: Lean Cuisine Chicken Tuscan Panini
Three years ago: Lean Cuisine Dinnertime Selects Salisbury Steak

I actually really like the LC Shrimp Alfredo. It’s just like the chicken alfredo except with shrimp that I think microwave surprisingly well.
