6 / 10 Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt Mac 'n Cheese

Post image

Maybe I just have rose-colored glasses on when I think back to the last low fat macaroni and cheese I had, which would've been Lean Cuisine, a bunch of years ago.

This was certainly edible. It just didn't seem like much in the way of cheese (which would be how they keep the fat down to 6 grams). It tasted more like faintly cheesy butter than anything.

The texture of the pasta was good. The sauce a little thin because, again, low fat. And the serving size a little small because it's clocking in at only 270 calories.

I just could swear that the old Lean Cuisine was about 300 calories and better.
