Quick & Easy Health Foods


You might have noticed that I haven't been baking muffins for breakfast anymore.  Well, that's because I found a relatively inexpensive and healthy, microwaveable breakfast sandwich at the grocery store: Jimmy Dean D-Lights.

They have several different options, but my personal favorite is the turkey sausage English muffin.  With only 260 calories, eight grams of fat, and 18 grams of protein, it's the perfect breakfast after my morning workouts.  I will say I was not a huge fan of the turkey sausage bowl, but I haven't tried any of the other ones.

Along with eating a more balanced breakfast, I've also started keeping prunes (they're not just for old ladies), low-fat string cheese, and granola bars (as long as they have fewer than six grams of sugar) to snack on at work.


Sunsweet prunes are my favorite, but any brand will have the same nutritional content, more or less.  As far as granola bars and string cheese, I generally go for whatever is on sale - just make sure to read the label!  Some "healthy" granola bars will have upwards of 10 grams of sugar.

I'll try and share new products as I come across them.  What are some of your favorite quick and easy healthy snacks?
