Lean Cuisine - Grilled Chicken Caesar (6.5/10)

Price: $2.50
Overall:  6.5/10. Very average tasting, mostly healthy light lunch or late dinner.  The liquidy oil and vinegar flavored sauce is a surprise if you're expecting a creamy caesar dressing.  Portion will make you not hungry but not full.
Healthfulness:  7/10. Ideal mix of protein (17g), carbs (30g), and fat (6g, no trans fat).  Even some fiber (3g).  Not as pure ingredients as Central Market or Amy's meals, for example.
Portion size/Filling:  6/10. Small portion (240 calories) but surprisingly filling because of good protein and fat content.
Flavor: 5/10. (Spiciness 0/10). Not bland, but strange combination of garlic, parmesan and an oil and vinegar dressing.
Texture: 8/10. Firm pasta, crunchy broccoli and white meat chicken. Only detraction was unappetizing skin on some of the chicken pieces.

Beer pairing:  Corona, Shiner Bock

Details

Healthfulness:  The ratio of calories from carbs, protein and fat is almost ideal.  The ingredients list does contain more unrecognizable chemicals and flavorings compared to a Central Market or Amy's meal, though.  (7/10, good ratios but not so pure ingredients)

Portion size/Filling:  It is a small portion, no doubt.  However, it does keep you not hungry for at least 2-3 hours, which is unexpected from such a small portion.  The high protein and fat content helps in that regard.  Probably about the right portion if you have an afternoon of sitting at your desk in front of you. (6/10, pretty small, yet deceptively filling)

Flavor:  The flavor is very average.  Not necessarily bad, just unexpected.  For a dish with Caesar in the name, I was expecting a creamy, garlicky Caesar dressing.  Instead, I got a watery oil and vinegar dressing with lumps of powdered parmesan and a hint of garlic.  Maybe if I knew what I was in for, I wouldn't have rated it so low.  (5/10, 0/10 for spiciness)

Texture:  The texture may be the best part of this dish.  The pasta was firm.  The broccoli was not mushy.  The chicken was white.  The one surprise was a few slimy morsels that I initially thought were mushrooms or tofu, until I realized that they were pieces of chicken skin.  (8/10, unusually firm vegetables and pasta)
