Healthy Take-Along Products

We’re lucky that we live in a day and age where health is taken seriously by the food industry. For on-the-go people grabbing a quick snack or meal doesn’t need to consist of potato chips and granola bars (which are not as healthy as they sound). Try these other grab-and-go options to eat at school, in the office, during your commute, or at home when you’re too lazy to prepare something more complicated. They’ll help you work on portion control and will ultimately help you lose weight. These low-fat, low-calorie meals are particularly good if you are using a weight loss supplement like generic Xenical which requires you to eat less.

1. Fresh Express Salad Packs – These 2.5 cup salads contain all you need for a healthy meal-veggies, protein, and tons of flavor. Each 110-240 calorie salad comes in a container with all you need for a quick meal, including forksticks, a combination fork and chopsticks. Flavors include Caribbean Chicken Salad, Orchard Harvest Salad, Tuscan Pesto Chicken Salad, and others. Yum!
2. Tuna Pouches – Pretty much every tuna company now packs their tuna in these vacuum sealed packs in addition to the traditional cans. The benefit of the pouches is the lack of mess-no tuna juice (yuck!) to drain and no can opener necessary. And they don’t only come in the chunk tuna, but now also come in fillets with different flavors, like lemon and cracked pepper. And some companies sell packs of salmon or shrimp as well. Some “tuna kits” even come with crackers, relish, a fork, and a napkin. Cute and extremely healthy!
3. 100 Calorie Packs – From Oreos to Doritos, to Hershey’s Dark Chocolate bars, to Nutter Butter Granola Bars to Pringles to Ritz Snack Mix to Wheat Thins…should I keep going? Because I can. These revolutionary 100 calorie snack packs have swept the snack market, helping diet conscious Americans cut back on their portion sizes. Of course if you end up eating six bags of Keebler Right Bites Fudge Shoppe Mini Fudge Stripes cookies, you’re sort of defeating the purpose, but if you’re able to use a bit of self control in sticking to one bag per snack time, then you’ll get a wonderful indulgence in just the right amount.

Happy snacking!
