    Thanks to ChickAdvisor for letting me try Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations. It was so hard to pick just one, there were so many varieties such as chicken teriyaki, chili lime beef to name a couple. I finally decided on Roast Garlic Chicken and am so glad I picked it. It was super delicious. It was so handy to have in the freezer for when I did not want to cook. It would also be great to take in to lunch at work. It was easy to prepare in the microwave, it was done within ten minutes, and there was lots of sauce to pour on the entree. The vegetables stayed quite fresh and crisp. The flavours were also great, not bland at all.
    I really liked this product and would definitely recommend it to others.

    I was able to do a product testing for LeanCuisine I was extremly surprised by how much I actually loved this product. The chicken was good and not full of fillers was one of the best frozen entrees meat wise, and the veggies were also very tasty!. I was shocked on the that I was able to pour as much sauce or none at all! most of the products out there there is too much of the sauce which for me always seems to salty.
    I have purchased more of this product which I do not usually purchase many but these are very tasty and are worth the money

    As part of the product review club, I got to try this product for free.

    Overall, I really like this dinner. I tried the Thai Chicken. I like that the vegetables were really fresh, and did not get mushy the way most frozen dinners do. The flavour is excellent as well, one of the better tasting frozen dinners on the market.

    Although I don't usually buy frozen dinners, I do like to have a couple in the freezer just in case I don't feel like prepping anything. These will definitely be in my freezer from now on!

    I received a FPC for this product and I chose Chilli Lime Beef as it sounded interesting to try. I made it and the flavour was exquisite and addictive...I really enjoyed it! The product was tasty, fresh and flavourful. I would recommend trying this product for yourself as it won't disappoint!

    I received this product as part of the Product Review Club.

    I got the chicken teriyaki flavor, over all it was good. I keep frozen dinners around for the occasion that I don't have time to make lunch for work. I found the Lean Cuisine to be an average frozen product. Something to keep for back up but not something I would regularly eat. I did enjoy the fact that the sauce is served separate so it is easy to adjust how much goes on the actual meal. As a frozen meal it did not have that freshness that I typically like but it does do a good job of providing an good makeshift meal. I didn't feel like I was only eating carbs and sodium so I appreciated that.

    Overall I would purchase this item again, probably if I found it on sale. I think some of my friends that regularly eat frozen dinner would prefer this over their other choice and I will tell them about it.

    As part of ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club, I had the opportunity to try Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations for free. I selected the Roast Garlic Chicken to test. I loved the packaging for this product, it just screams "fresh and innovative" from the blue to the dimensional simmer & steam label on the top of the box, to the QR Code. The QR code opened the page to other Fresh Inspirations varieties, nutritional info, and a cool commercial. The text on the packaging was very easy to read and cooking instructions were pretty much clear and to the point. Just 4 simple steps and your meal is ready: (1) microwave for 3 minutes (without piercing the film), (2) stir, (3) microwave for a 1/2 minute, and (4) wait 2 minutes and then enjoy. During step one, one end of the film popped open and a bit of broccoli made its way to the inner walls of my microwave. I thought the food would not cook thoroughly since it was rather cold after the initial 3 minute cooking time, but I was so wrong. Unlike other frozen entrees I've had in the past (which also required more cooking time), this frozen entree was well-cooked and the steam was flowing upon opening the film.

    The chicken, red potatoes, broccoli, and zucchini were perfectly cooked. My only issue was that the chicken was flavorless. It did not soak in the flavor of the deliciously creamy garlic sauce as the vegetables did. So, I was a bit disappointed with that because the sauce is so good and is not heavy on the garlic. Regardless of the bland chicken, the texture was good in comparison to other frozen foods. The food looked fresh and the vegetables were colorful and full of life unlike other frozen entrees which after microwaving seemed like you had them in the freezer for way too long.

    I would try Lean Cuisine Fresh Inspirations again, but not this variety. Perhaps, I'll go for the Chili Lime Beef next time ;) I would recommend this product to my friends. It's convenient packaging, easy prep time, and fresh look has inspired me to shake up my lunch routine and eat well.

    I had the teriyaki chicken and it was okay. I do love lean cuisine frozen dinners but this was a let down for me. It did taste good, but I wasn't amazed and I know lean cuisine has some amazing flavour in their frozen dinners.
    It did taste like fresh ingredients, so can't argue with that.

    I received a free product coupon to product test this item. I got the chicken teriyaki one. Portion size was
    adequate and amount of meat and sauce was adequate. I really enjoyed this product and would purchase it
    regularly to eat for a quick lunch or dinner. The sauce was very flavourful and the product was overall very delicious and nutritious.
