Hungry Girl Today: 11.02.09
We interrupt our regularly scheduled News to bring you TEN of our favorite
things spotted on shelves in 2009...
Mousse Temptations by Jell-O
Pudding cups got a kick in the pants when this stuff arrived. (Bet you didn't
even know they wore pants!) These INCREDIBLE individual containers of
mousse come in three flavors -- Chocolate Indulgence, Dark Chocolate
Decadence, and Caramel Creme -- and have 60 calories, 2.5 - 3g fat, 9 -
10g carbs, 0 - 1g fiber, and 1 - 2g protein (POINTS® value 1*) per snack
cup. If you didn't try 'em the first time we told you to, do it now!
Starbucks VIA Ready Brew
This really IS the best instant coffee ever. (And yes, it's totally worth the
price.) The Colombia brew is rich and delicious with a hint of nuttiness, and
the Italian Roast is bold and a little sweet with a yummy roasted taste. Look
for the brand-spankin'-new, just-released-this-month Decaf Italian Roast to
start popping up everywhere. Get some at your local 'Bucks or order and
have it delivered straight to your doorstep. (FYI, no stats are listed for VIA
because a serving of it is pretty much calorie-free.) Woohoo!
Reformulated Yoplait Fiber One Yogurt (50 Calories and HG-Endorsed)
Our pals at F1 have put out some great products in the last few years, but
once we tasted this revamped, super-low-cal yogurt, we wanted to put our
seal of approval ALL over it. (So we did.) It's the perfect size for a snack,
sandwich sidekick, or light dessert. With flavors like Key Lime Pie,
Strawberry, Vanilla, and Peach, you're BOUND to like one (or all) of them.
Each 4-oz. yogurt cup has 50 calories, 0g fat, 13g carbs, 5g fiber, and 3g
protein (POINTS® value 0*). And yes, we like it even more because Hungry
Girl is ALL over the packaging. Is that wrong???
Contessa Green Cuisine Stir-Fry Meals
There are two HUGE reasons why these meals are way better than any other
freezer-aisle bagged skillet options out there: 1) NO starchy noodles or rice
driving up calorie counts. 2) The sauce comes in a pouch, on the side.
BRILLIANT! In Shrimp, Chicken, and Beef, a serving of each without sauce (1
1/2 - 2 cups) has 120 - 150 calories, 1.5 - 3g fat, 11 - 14g carbs, 3 - 4g fiber,
and 13 - 17g protein (POINTS® value 2*). Use ALL the sauce, and it'll add
around 60 - 80 fat-free calories to each serving (for a total POINTS® value
of 3 - 4*). BINGO!
Glaceau Vitaminwater10
We fell hard for this super-delicious, naturally sweetened, vitamin-packed
beverage line in '09. If you missed it, there's still room on the bandwagon!
There are eight flavors: Mega-C Grape Raspberry, Recoup Peach-Mandarin,
Revitalize Green Tea, Go-Go Mixed Berry, Energy Tropical Citrus, Essential
Orange-Orange, Multi-V Lemonade, and XXX Acai-Blueberry-Pomegranate.
Our favorite is the Peach-Mandarin, but really, they're all good. An 8-oz.
serving of each has just 10 calories -- that's 25 calories per bottle. It's
officially a staple.
Pillsbury Crescent Recipe Creations Seamless Dough Sheet
This pre-made dough found a permanent home in the HG fridge this year.
(Sure, technically it debuted in late '08. But we don't care much for
technicalities.) It's an endless source of inspiration -- from breakfast
pinwheels to Danishes to dough-ball desserts. Pretty much EVERYTHING
tastes good paired with this flaky pastry dough. One-sixth of the package has
120 calories, 6g fat, 16g carbs, <1g fiber, and 2g protein (POINTS® value
3*) -- but you can EASILY get more servings out of a package. The Pillsbury
Doughboy has really outdone himself this time. Wish we could tickle him
ourselves...
Kashi Mayan Harvest Bake
About halfway through the year, we discovered THE BEST frozen dinner of all
time. A 10-oz. entree full of sweet potatoes, plantains, black beans, polenta,
and more, smothered in a fantastic sweet 'n smoky sauce. This has 340
calories, 9g fat, 58g carbs, 8g fiber, and 9g protein (POINTS® value 7*). It
ROCKS beyond belief. It's totally unique, phenomenal in terms of flavor, and
super-filling. Find it and take it home with you.
The Skinny Cow Truffle Bars
Just because winter is coming, that's no excuse to abandon frozen treats.
(That's what indoor heating is for, right?) In Chocolate (great) and French
Vanilla (REALLY great), these deliciously drizzled ice cream bars are our
freezy find of the year! Each bar has just 100 calories, 2g fat, 12 - 19g carbs,
3g fiber, and 3g protein (POINTS® value 2*). Gotta love that cow!
Arnold/Brownberry/Oroweat Sandwich Thins
Alright, to be fair, we first wrote about these at the end of last year. But 2009
has DEFINITELY been the year of flat sandwich buns. This brand started the
craze, and then Pepperidge Farm joined the party with its Deli Flats. After
that, even MORE started coming out of the woodwork. But we'd like to take
this moment to respect the bread items that got it all started. Arnold
/Brownberry/Oroweat even upped the ante this year by unrolling new flavors like
Honey Wheat and Seedless Rye. With 100 calories, 1g fat, 21 - 23g carbs, 5g
fiber, and 4 - 5g protein (POINTS® value 1*) per Sandwich Thins roll, we
applaud A/B/O for a job well done!
Kraft Bagel-fuls, Fruit & Cream Cheese Varieties
Give it up for the most fun grab 'n go breakfast treat of the year. While
impressed with the original Bagel-fuls of '08, we REALLY got excited when
these fruity filling + cream cheese versions launched this year. In Cherry,
Strawberry, and Apple Cinnamon (featuring a cinnamon & brown sugar
bagel!), each one has 190 calories, 3g fat, 34g carbs, 2g fiber, and 6g
protein (POINTS® value 4*). They come frozen but are quick to thaw or heat
up. What more could you want? (A food item is never gonna drive you to the
airport, so don't even think about it.)
