Taste Test Tuesday: Lean Cuisine Brick Oven Style Pizza
Individual frozen pizzas with 7 grams of fat and less than 300 calories. That got my attention. Well, that and the "brick oven style" advertising slogan plastered at the top of the box. It's new from Lean Cuisine and I bought the two flavors my store had: Gourmet Mushroom Pizza (with a creamy mushroom sauce) and Roasted Garlic Chicken Pizza (with a garlic sauce).
Tried them both and found myself exclaiming, "Hello...it's pizza! Where's the tomato sauce?" Both of these pizzas come with a flavored white sauce instead. But once I let go of the fact that they didn't have red sauce, I definitely liked the mushroom pizza better than the garlic chicken pizza. It had a pretty good flavor and the box that converts to a microwave pedestal for your pizza, did a pretty good job of crisping up the pizza crust too.
1 Lean Cuisine Brick Oven Style Gourmet Mushroom Pizza contains:
280 calories
7 g fat (22.5% calories from fat)
3 g saturated fat
0 g trans fat
5 mg cholesterol
15 g protein
40 g carbohydrate
2 g fiber
660 mg sodium
Bottom Line: The mushroom pizza was a pretty good option for work, or something you could keep in the freezer for meal emergencies. It would work even better nutritionally for lunch or dinner if you enjoyed it with some vegetables and fruit.
