2 HEALTHY CHOICE CAJUN STYLE CHICKEN AND SHRIMP
3 LEAN CUISINE SUNDRIED TOMATOE PESTO CHICKEN
4 HEALTHY CHOICE PUMPKIN SQUASH RAVOILI
5 KASHI BLACK BEAN MANGO
6 LEAN CUSISINE BEEF CHOW FUN (I have never heard or seen this one)
7 SMART ONE THAI STYLE CHICKEN RICE NOODLES
8 HEALTHY CHOICE SWEET ASIAN POTSTICKERS
9 LEAN CUISINE GLAZED CHICKEN
10 KASHI RANCHERO BEANS
11 SMART ONE CRANBERRY TURKEY MEDALIONS
12 HEALTHY CHOICE CAFE STEAMER 5 SPICE BEEF AND VEGETABLES
So there you have it.. It stated that the guidelines you should use for chosing a healty frozen dinner is to keep in mind that some healthy means will meet some bu but not all of these recommendations.
- 300 - 500 calories
- 10-18 grams of total fat or less than 30%of total calories
- less than 4 grams of saturated fat
- less than 600 milligrams of soduim
- 3-5 grams of fiber
- 10% of the recommended daily value of vitamin or minerals
- 10-20 grams of protein
Also it is imporant to pay attion to the serving sizes too.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Kashi's frozen entrees. My favorite is their Tuscan Veggie Bake. I usually alternate my lunch's at work between Kashi entrees and the All Natural Healthy Choice entrees.
I also love Kashi entrees -- they're really filling, too! And they taste spectacular compared to random cold sandwiches you can buy at the same price. The black bean mango is vegetarian (even vegan, I think) and fabulous.
Healthy frozen dinners...
