National Frozen Food Month: Lean Pockets

by Sarah J. Gim, Posted Mar 31st 2008 @ 10:10AM

A burrito might be a good snack, but for a real meal, let's talk turkey, a Turkey, Broccoli & Cheese Lean Pocket.

I have to admit, I had forgotten that Hot Pockets had made this entry into health with Lean Pockets, and even more so with "Whole Grain." I bought the box because let's face it, that picture on the front of the box is pretty sexy. I was even slightly turned on by the geeky technology included in the box -- the "crisper" mechanism that does double duty, first as the "crisper" element in the microwave, secondly as a handy "carrying" case so as not to burn your hands when eating.

Unfortunately, the Lean Pocket was very salty, even for me, someone who wouldn't be shy about shaking salt into a bowl of sodium-laden canned soup.

Take a peek at the gallery for how deep those pockets are:
