Lean Pockets Supreme Pizza

By: Tanya Patrice | Oct 4, 2005

One slice of pizza can sometimes have more calories and fat than an entire 'healthy' dinner. But for some reason, people just love the taste of pizza, myself included of course! So pair the word pizza with the word lean, and it's definitely worth a try. Before even going to what this tastes like though, lets check out if this Lean Pocket Pizza is really ... lean. The front of the box proudly proclaims that there are only 6 grams of fat and 200 calories in each pizza pocket (the box comes with 2). So far, so good. Turning over the box to get a look at the rest of the nutrition shows that this is not the evil add-fat-to-thighs pizza that I thought it might be. Only 2 grams of saturated fat, 25 mg cholesterol, 540 mg sodium (23% of the daily value), 7 grams of fiber and 24 grams protein. It's just a wee bit on the high side for sodium, but let's face it, this is probably the best we'll ever get for anything with the word pizza in the name.

Lean Pockets Meatball and Mozzarella Sub

By: Tanya Patrice | Oct 1, 2005

Lean Pockets Subs is something I have not seen before, but then again I don't usually eat Lean Pockets for breakfast either. I'm more of a traditional breakfast eater - cereal or oatmeal, or I'll scramble some eggs occasionally. But when I saw these, I thought that a meatball sub was an "interesting idea" for breakfast.

The sub was actually quite tasty. There was plenty of meatballs, so you got a meaty chunk in every bite. The sub bread /roll actually came out to be a nice combination between soft and just a little bit crispy. If you have ever put bread in the microwave, you know that it's usually a soggy mess when it comes out. But the nifty 'crisping sleeve' that you put the sub in does a good job of getting the roll to come out tasting like slightly toasted bread. The combination of cheese, meatballs and sauce was actually quite good. I could definitely see myself eating this for lunch, but I didn't think it was filling enough for dinner, which is actually when I ate it and I kept expecting a bite of lettuce and tomatoes like you get in traditional subs. Otherwise though, it really was quite good - not great, but good.
