Harvestland Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Meatballs

I literally just finished eating a serving of these and was so impressed that I had to write a blog post about them ASAP. I crave salty / Chinese type food on a daily basis. These are full of flavor and surprisingly filling. I just ate 4 of them as a snack and am full. If you were eating this as a meal, I would suggest stir-frying up some veggies (like in the picture) and maybe adding some white rice. Yum. Be careful about eating more than 1 serving though, because 1 serving has 600 grams of sodium.

Lean Cuisine - Garlic Chicken Spring Rolls



Holy yum. These things are addictive so be careful! I eat 1 serving, (3 rolls - each box comes with 2 servings) along with a salad and some fruit - it makes for a great lunch! They even smell good when they're cooking! I would suggest these for when you're craving some good Chinese food, but don't want to spend the calories on them.

Annie's Chocolate Chipper Granola Bars



As a kid, my mom always had granola bars in the house. At the age of 22 I am absolutely sick and tired of granola bars. I feel like they all taste the same. Well that all changed the other day when I tried Annie's brand Chocolate Chipper granola bars. They were absolutely unlike anything I've ever tried before. A little on the pricey side, but that is to be expected with any USDA certified organic product. They're a little hard to find in some grocery stores - I was able to find this product in the grocery section of my local Target. You get what you pay for. Definitely two thumbs up!

100 Calorie Filling Vita Top Chocolate Muffins!


A little on the pricey side, but so worth it! I went grocery shopping late last night and couldn't resist grabbing a pack of Vita Tops Deep Chocolate muffins. They taste amazing, and are good for you too! They're packed with vitamins - hence the name. I don't even understand how they pack it with  fiber, only add 1.5 grams of fat, and manage to make it still taste so good! I usually eat one of these for breakfast, along with some fruit, which still leaves me under 200 calories for breakfast. Hello big dinner! They also offer tons of flavors, but I've only seen a few in stores. I'm still on the hunt to find more flavors since they all sound amazing!

Archer Farms Sesame Teriyaki Lunch Bowl


So I decided to make a "suggestions" tab for foods that you don't have to make, an easy quick and go type of thing. I've been so overwhelmed with working 50 hours a week and summer classes, that's lets be honest, I don't have the time to cook as much as I did before. So I just tried this Sesame Teriyaki lunch bowl that I bought at Target (Archer Farms) and it was way better than I expected. It only has 250 calories and 2 grams of fat. Score! It only cost around $2 if I remember correctly. It was really tasty and really filling. I wouldn't recommended eating them every day since they're high in sodium (900 mg) but they're good every now and then. They had a ton of other flavors so I'm excited to try them out!
