***ATTENTION TEXT-ONLY HG SUBSCRIBERS (this means YOU!): Since only
<br>a tiny fraction of our audience receives our emails in text-only form, and the

<br>sending out the text-only versions of Hungry Girl newsletters. This change
<br>will happen in the very near future. Keep an eye out for the HTML versions in
<br>your inbox... coming soon!***

<br>Hungry Girl Today: 3.15.10
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Kraft 100 Calorie Packs Cheese Bites - If you can't be trusted around a big 
<br>open package of queso cubes, grab these single-serving pouches. They 
<br>come in four varieties: Cheddar, Cheddar & Monterey Jack, Three Cheese 
<br>Blend (Mozzarella, Parmesan & White Cheddar), and Mozzarella, Garlic & 
<br>Herb. Each 100-cal package has 8g fat, 290 - 320mg sodium, <1g carbs, 0g 
<br>fiber, 0g sugars, and 6g protein (POINTS&reg; value 3*). We're dreaming about 
<br>a reduced-fat version. Click now for a coupon!
<br>
<br>Quaker True Delights Multigrain Fiber Crisps - Mmmmm, this snack is like the 
<br>love child of a rice cake and fruity granola! Each crisp is packed with grains 
<br>and flavor, and the stats are pretty impressive. In Wild Blueberry (our 
<br>favorite!) and Blackberry Pomegranate, a 13-piece serving has a svelte 110 
<br>calories, 1.5g fat, 135mg sodium, 23g carbs, 3g fiber, 6g sugars, and 2g 
<br>protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*). Start munching!
<br>
<br>Buddig Fix Quix - Once in a while, a new product comes along that makes us 
<br>wonder why no one came up with it before. These li'l portion-controlled cups 
<br>of cooked & chopped lean meats DEFINITELY qualify. Try the Grilled Chicken, 
<br>Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast, or Smoked Ham. Take one on the go and add 
<br>it to your salad, soup, or any food item that needs a protein boost! Each 
<br>container (about 2 oz.) has 60 - 70 calories, 1 - 2.5g fat, 310 - 460mg 
<br>sodium, 1 - 2g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g sugars, and 10 - 11g protein (POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 1 - 2*). They're currently in limited distribution, so request 'em at your 
<br>local market!
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>The Secret's OUT and the Shipping's FREE!
<br>
<br>Secret finds? We've got 'em! And since they can be hard to find locally, the 
<br>awesome humans behind these products are offering HGers FREE SHIPPING 
<br>until this Thursday, March 18th! Just order from the product websites linked 
<br>to below, and use promo/coupon code: freeship. YAY!
<br>
<br>Something Special Deli-Foods Ltd. Gourmet Antipasto - Is it a spread? A dip? 
<br>Who cares?! This crazy-delicious line of chunky, tangy, veggie-based 
<br>condiments includes Original (the with-tuna formula), Vegetarian (sans fish), 
<br>and Picante (spicy!) antipastos. A 2-tbsp. serving has 30 calories, 1g fat, 
<br>170 - 190mg sodium, 4g carbs, 1g fiber, 3g sugars, and 0.5 - 1g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 0*). You MUST try this stuff! Really. BTW, the free shipping 
<br>applies to ANY order, not just cases!
<br>
<br>Leonardo e Roberto's Gourmet Blends Vanilla Fig Balsamic Vinegar - Another 
<br>item so incredible, it defies labels. This aged vinegar is sweet and delicious 
<br>and would be just as good on dessert as on dinner. A tbsp. has 49 calories, 
<br>0g fat, 0mg sodium, 14g carbs, 0g fiber, 9g sugars, and 0g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 1*). More calories -- and more costly -- than the average 
<br>balsamic, but VERY worth it, especially considering a little goes a long way! 
<br>P.S. The Asian Dipping Oil is also AMAZING!
<br>
<br>FiberGourmet Lite Microwave Brownie and Cake Mixes - Our pasta-'n-cracker-
<br>creating pals have entered the world of just-add-water-and-nuke, single-
<br>serving dessert bowls! In Cinnamon Crumb Cake and Frosted Brownies, 
<br>each bowl has 90 calories, 1g fat, 100mg sodium, 29 - 31g carbs, 12g fiber, 
<br>14 - 15g sugars, and 2g protein (POINTS&reg; value 1*). Impressive!
<br>
<br>Don't forget -- shipping is FREE until this Thursday (3/18) with coupon/promo 
<br>code: freeship. P.S. These are NOT paid product mentions. We truly love 
<br>these food finds, and the companies are simply nice enough to offer free 
<br>shipping. Thanks, guys!
<br>

<br>
<br>The Case of the Shrinking Sodium Counts!
<br>
<br>We're all aware it's a good idea to reduce our sodium intake, but what do 
<br>people really think when they see "reduced sodium" on a label? Apparently, 
<br>many folks assume those products won't taste as good as the originals. And 
<br>since a reduced-sodium claim requires a reduction of at least 25%, the 
<br>change in taste often is noticeable. As a result, the sodium-slashed varieties 
<br>don't sell as well. So food companies, under pressure to lower sodium 
<br>counts, have had to get sneaky. Brands like ConAgra and Campbell have 
<br>been discreetly cutting the salt content in food products little by little, so that 
<br>the changes aren't all that noticeable to consumers. We understand the hush-
<br>hush-ness of it all, but we'd like to give a thumbs-up to these guys for their 
<br>sodium-slashing ways. The most recent cuts to grab our attention? 
<br>Campbell's original V8 veggie juice has had its SECOND salt cut in the last 3 
<br>years, and the Spicy Hot variety got a reduced-salt makeover, too. 
<br>(HOORAY!) And Heinz will be reducing the sodium in its regular ketchup by 
<br>15 percent starting this summer. Just in time for all those backyard BBQs. 
<br>Thank you, food people!

<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Are those 24-oz. "Venti" iced drinks at Starbucks STILL not big enough for 
<br>you? Good news: The 'Bucks is currently testing out a 31-oz. "Trenta" cup in 
<br>Phoenix and Tampa, exclusively for iced coffees and teas. Good thing the full-
<br>fat Fraps aren't being offered in that size... Can you imagine the calorie 
<br>counts!?! ***More beverage info: Silk, maker of refrigerated soymilks, has 
<br>released a new product called Pure Almond. Yup, you guessed it; it's almond 
<br>milk. In Original and Vanilla, the stuff has 60 - 90 calories per 8-oz. serving 
<br>and can be found in the refrigerated milk section of select markets. We've 
<br>tried it, and it's pretty good. But it's higher in calories than our beloved 
<br>Unsweetened Almond Breeze and less delicious than regular Almond Breeze. 
<br>***If you don't like weighing out ground meat when making burgers, but you 
<br>don't want to accidentally create and devour an 11-oz. patty, you may be 
<br>interested in the Adjust-A-Burger Press. Get perfectly shaped and sized 
<br>patties every time... and avoid any fights over who gets the biggest burger 
<br>at the dinner table. There's even a mini version for making sliders! ***What 
<br>do you get when you combine Evite, Open Table, and Yelp with social 
<br>networking and the ability to VOTE? (This isn't a political joke; we promise.) 
<br>You get Lunchwalla! This brand-new, free-to-use web service allows you to 
<br>plan a meal out with friends in an easy and interactive way. Read reviews, 
<br>poll your pals, set up reservations, get directions, and more. It's pretty neat! 
<br>***Wanna know what's coming up this week in your HG emails? There's a 
<br>GIGANTIC frozen-foods review, a recipe for dessert ravioli, a Cheesecake 
<br>Factory makeover, and a FREE-SHIPPING VitaTop special (tomorrow!), just 
<br>to name a few things! That's all we've got. HG out!
