South Beach Diet - Which of the Kraft SB diet products do you like?

I've noticed there are lots of SB diet foods by Kraft in the stores, and am curious to try some of them.

So far I have had some of the phase I frozen meals. The chicken and broccoli caprese is great. There is an Asian style pork dish that was okay, but not as good as I hoped. I like how they have decent size portions compared to most diet meals.


If you've tried any good products, please share. I know we're not limited to these official SB products, but they can be nice and convenient when you don't have much time. :)

never have any of them although I do use the Triscuit Thin Crisps that have the SBD logo on them.

Not available in Canada, I'm afraid, but they sure would be convenient.

I love, love, love the chicken salad with the cranberries. LOVE IT! I eat it almost every day for lunch anymore. It's not frozen, it is in with the lunchmeat and lunchables. I also like the wraps that are in that section.

i too love the south beach frozen meal and their wraps. they are yummy. i started eating them even before i started south beach. costco has the variety packs and i do think they are very convient when you don't feel like having a salad. i just bought the bars today, i heard they were good.

I really like that chicken salad w/cranberries, too! I mix it up and eat it on a bed of romaine or cabbage or broccoli slaw. I appreciate the convenience of being able to grab something OP when I'm in a hurry or on the run. Another product I really like are the SB pizzas.

I'm going to have to look for that chicken salad with cranberries the next time I'm at the store!

I've tried a couple of the granola/cereal bars. My favorite so far is the 100 calorie triple berry - a nice treat when you need a snack on the go and something different from the usual.

Oooh! I love chicken salad with cranberries. I haven't tried the Kraft version, but I have a recipe around here somewhere. Wonder if it would be SB friendly. I'm off to find it now!

I've tried several of the frozen dinners, but I really haven't cared for any of them. :( I think my tastes must not be "mainstream". I've also tried some of the 100 calorie bars...at least the girls like 'em.

I'll have to look out for the chicken salad too. right now I'm a student full time, but when I work this summer I could bring a lunch like this. :) when I go to phase II I could start eating the wraps. sometimes it's time consuming to make eggs in the morning, and I've even been too busy to make the frozen quiches ahead of time.

Well, I just may have to take my passport and $USA and take a day trip to Watertown, NY to do a South Beach shop. The chicken and cranberry salad has me drooling!

The only thing I've tried have been the peanut butter cookies and the "baby triscuits" and both were good. I cook a big meal every afternoon, so I don't need to bring my lunch (I get off of school at 12:30). But my husband was telling me I should go pick up some of the meals since they are on sale right now to keep on hand.

Love It!
*Cranberry Chicken Salad, but it is really expensive for what you get. They give a pack of chicken, pack of mayonaise, walnuts, and like 10 dried cranberries. You could make this very easily. The pita chips that are in the pack are pretty bland too. I make my own.
*High Protein Cereal Bars, especially pb and cinnamon raisin
*SB Pizza

Hate, Hate Hate!
-Breakfast wraps, they seriously made me throw up.
-Cookies-weird greasy residue

I do buy a lot of stuff with the logo, like triscuits thin crisps..those things are da' bomb!

If I needed to grab a quick lunch, I might use one of the frozen meals. However, I dont really care for the taste of them....and, they don't include enough of a veggie serving for my lunch. I typically eat 2 cups of veggies at lunch. I do use the Turkey Polska Kielbasa with the Southbeach "seal of approval" and the turkey bacon.

I really like the wraps! I've tried the turkey and bacon and the southwest chicken. I, too, find that it's hard for me to get my veggies in when I have one, but it's great to have something on hand for emergencies! When I buy several at a time it seems expensive, but when I consider that I used to eat out at almost every meal (which is a minimum of $5 a pop), $3 doesn't seem that bad. And they (the wraps at least) have coupons inside for your next purchase. I wish they would sell the whole wheat tortillas by themselves in a package. They are the best tasting ww tortillas I've tried. I need to keep an eye out for the products that have the South Beach "seal of approval"!

ksk571 - Keep an eye out for the tortillas. They sell them at my Tom Thumb grocery store in Texas so I imagine they will make it to most large stores eventually. They are good.

You should be able to get whole 100% wheat tortillas that are the same as South Beach anywhere. If I can get them here in the boonies, they must be around in the USA! We also have 100% ww pitas which are great for making pizzas!

I really like the oatmeal-raisin cookies and the peanut butter high-protein cereal bars.

:)

Thanks on the info about the SB WW Tortillas. I have some of a different brand that I use now, but they aren't as good at the ones in the kit. I will keep an eye out for them.

I like the chocolate breakfast bars. But I'm not allowed to eat them for two more weeks. Eek!

Hi, Beachies!

What a great discussion! You have me dying to try this salad! ;) BTW, is it made with actual craisins or did those 'krafty' Kraft folks find a secret stash of unsweetened cranberries??? I made my own dried cranberries from the fresh ones, but they're crunchy so not very good for fresh salads--though they work in baked goods or cooked meals. :chin:

Some of us have concerns about the fact that the Kraft products don't align very well with the plan as Dr. A outlined it. Some have hydrogenated or high amounts of saturated fat, others have sugar or enriched flour. For more information on the products and the previous discussions we've had about them, check out the thread (http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84995)in the FAQ that has links to them.

I didn't try most of the products until recently, when I seem to be better able to tolerate malitol. I love the oatmeal choc chip cookies and the PB are pretty good. I think my favorite is the 100 cal PB chip bar, and I tried the 100 cal 'chocolate indulgence' one and that's really good too. :T I really like the cranberry and almond protein bar--I miss cranberries! I had the pizza once and it was okay, but not fantastic. I'm a much bigger fan of Amy's organic pesto pizza. It has a wheat crust with pesto sauce and cheese. The cheese is full fat, but otherwise it does a great job of being on plan--and we can throw whatever veggies we want on top. :chef:

I love the reduced fat feta cheese that has the SBD logo, but I hated the SBD dressing. :barf:

i love the cheese pizza....it satisfies my craving for pizza and best of all it is safe to eat!
