Happy middle of the week ladies!
I’ve mentioned before that Corey and I re-devoted ourselves to fitness and healthy eating about a year and a half ago, when we were preparing for the wedding and I’d gained ten pounds in grad school and he’d gained ten pounds living in a colder climate. 😉
We don’t eat healthy all the time and don’t guilt ourselves about having the occasional burger or a couple slices of Hoboken’s amazing pizza but we do try to make healthy choices as much as possible. I stumbled across some products recently that are just too good (and good for you) not to share.
Special K’s flatbread breakfast sandwiches. I have been loving this ham, egg, and pepper jack cheese sandwich. Its only 200 calories and I pop it into the microwave for a minute and half and then am out the door on my way to work.
Sitting almost right beside the breakfast flatbreads, were Kashi’s blueberry waffles. We both love waffles and I had a personal trainer years ago when I competed in pageants who swore by anything Kashi so I picked up a package of these. I was a little skeptical about whole grain waffles but these were as good, if not better, than any other brand of frozen waffle. Bonus: only 150 calories and loaded with fiber. Corey and I each ate one, with just about a tablespoon of light syrup, and a side of fresh fruit.
The real winner of our grocery shopping trip was Sensible Portions Pita Bites. They come in a variety of flavors – we chose the garlic and chive and they are only 120 calories for 9 chips. They’re a very good size so 9 chips would be a lot of chips! These are flavorful and light and so delicious. I’ve been eating 3 chips, 4 or 5 carrots, and about 2 tablespoons of hummus as a snack and it is quickly becoming a favorite. It is also a really filling, satisfying snack for only about 100 calories.
I also picked up a box of Skinny Cow ice cream bars because they really are so creamy and good for only 100 calories.
What are some of your favorite healthy (or healthier) finds?
Thank you for sharing these!! I'm on a serious health kick right now and have been looking for some new snacks to try. I haven't heard of those Special K flatbread sandwiches but I am seriously going to go pick up a pack today!
I'm going to have to pick up all of these! Those sandwiches sound SO good! And I love Kashi, and I'm a big fan of whole grain waffles. Skinny Cow anything is so good!
Thanks for sharing these! I'm always interested in new healthy things we can have at home! I got the Jimmy Dean turkey sausage, eggwhite and cheese sandwiches this week and they are good for only 250 calories!
I really like the Kashi brand. Hope you are well
I love anything Skinny Cow, and I'm glad that those Special K sandwiches are good! I just saw a commercial for them!
thanks for the tips I'm always looking for healthy finds!
