Update: Click here to read our Lean Cuisine Spring Rolls review
Spring rolls are typically an Asian dish, but the rebels at Lean Cuisine decided not to play by the culinary rules with their new line of Casual Cuisine Spring Rolls. They come in three ethnic varieties.
The Garlic Chicken Spring Rolls contain white meat chicken, garlic, spinach, onions and parmesan cheese. The Fajita-Style Chicken Spring Rolls have white meat chipotle chicken, corn, black beans, bell peppers and onion. The Thai-Style Spring Rolls contains white meat chicken, shredded cabbage, julienne yellow carrots and spicy red coconut curry.
The folks that have filled the freezer aisle with a frozen meal variety that’s as vast as a Cheesecake Factory menu, call these spring rolls a “snack.” But I, and probably a Cheesecake Factory menu, think of them as appetizers, and something to make sure I don’t get hungry 20 minutes after eating a portion-controlled Lean Cuisine meal.
All three varieties have 200 calories, 7-8 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 4 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 2 grams of monounsaturated fat, 10-15 grams of protein, 580 milligrams of sodium, 23-24 grams of carbohydrates, and 1-2 grams of fiber.
The Lean Cuisine Casual Cuisine Spring Rolls are available now and each box contains two servings of three spring rolls.
Do they still have 200 calories if you fry them and dunk them in sour cream?
The garlic chicken spring rolls are shockingly good. But you won’t be able to be near anyone for days, and the entire office will smell of garlic. I have a package of the Thai-style ones in the fridge, but I haven’t tried those yet.
Have you tried these? They sure look tastey! I’ll have to check for them next time I’m in the store. I bet they’d be good with some chicken fried rice or something. 🙂
I tried the fajita style and Thai style. I have to say that they tasted like the exact same flavor: salt. And that’s saying a lot because I am a big fan of salt. No good.
delicious!!! I love these things!
I eat them with chalula. They are a great fix when I have a fried food appetizer salty kind of craving.
I have tried the garlic chicken and the thai, both were super delicious and totally filled me up. These will be a favorite for lunch!
