Weight Watchers Smart Ones Dragon Shrimp Lo Mein Review

Well I'm back on Weight Watchers and for me buying the frozen meals is so easy I do it in spite of knowing how unhealthy the food is!

A Closer View

The Dragon Shrimp Lo Mein is in the Smart Ones Bistro Selection line. The meals were on sale in the supermarket for $2.50 so I stocked up but the Bistro selections were the regular price of just under $3.00 in my area. Dragon Shrimp has 5 points; 240 calories and 4 grams of fat. Its 9.25 ounces with 5 grams of sugar and a ridiculous amount of salt- 690 mg! It has 14 grams of protein and 36 grams of carbohydrates. This can be cooked in the microwave or oven. As long as I'm eating so unhealthfully I microwave these meals.

The Taste and Value

Dragon Shrimp was surprisingly spicy. You really can't go by the little blurb on the package that says "Tender shrimp in a mild soy-garlic sauce paired with Asian noodles tossed with sugar snap peas and carrots." Let's really look at this dish.

It tasted good over all if you like spicy. The shrimp were small, baby shrimp but they didn't taste fishy. There were about 8 of them. There were a few as in 3 very small slivers of carrots; a couple of tasty chestnuts and ½ of a pea pod.

There was a decent looking portion of decent tasting lo mein but when all was said and done it wasn't filling. I think for 5 points I'll choose something else. I won't buy this one again.
