5 Diet Dinners & Desserts for Your Shopping List

DESSERTS...

Oreo Wafer Sticks Fun Stix
1 package = 90 calories, 3.5g fat, 13g carbs, 0g fiber

Okay, YUM! These crispy cookie sticks are straw-shaped and lined with an incredibly yummy frosting. And these things are LONG. They come in original chocolate Oreo (yum) and Golden Oreo (yummer!), and you can eat 2 sticks for just 90 calories. We like a good low-cal sugar fix! Keep an eye out for them at the grocery store.

Del Monte Fruit Chillers Frozen Fruit Sorbet Freeze & Eat Tubes
1 tube = 55 calories, 0g fat, 13g carbs, <1g fiber

These freeze-n-eat tubes are SO much better than the neon-colored ones we ate as kids. Made with real fruit, the chilly treats are sweet and refreshing. Look for both flavors, Strawberry Snow Storm and Grape Berry Blizzard, in the canned fruit aisle. They both ROCK. Who cares if they're "made for kids?"

DINNERS...

Contessa Green Cuisine Stir-Fry Meals
1 serving = 180 - 230 calories, 1.5 - 3g fat, 23 - 32g carbs, 3 - 4g fiber

These frozen bagged meals are GREAT. Why? They're full of veggies and protein, and NO rice or noodles are included. AND the sauce comes on the side. This is a meal after our own hearts. (Pssst! If you don't use the sauce, it'll shave 60 - 80 calories off the total). The stir-frys come with chicken, beef, or shrimp, and the sauces are really tasty. Love it!

Pillsbury Pizza Crust, Classic
1/6th of the package = 160 calories, 2g fat, 31g carbs, 1g fiber

Pre-made dough is so fun. There are a bajillion things you can do with it, and this stuff has pretty good stats. If you roll it a little thinner, you can (literally) make it stretch and get more servings out of it. Top it with some part-skim or fat-free mozzarella, tomato sauce, and your favorite guilt-free toppings (sliced tomatoes and fresh basil make a simple but elegant pizza), and you're good to chew.

Kashi Bakes, Tuscan Veggie and Mayan Harvest
One container = 260 - 340 calories, 9g fat, 42 - 58g carbs, 8g fiber

These are a couple of the yummiest frozen dinners we've ever had. The Tuscan Veggie Bake tastes like the love child of lasagna and ratatouille, and the Mayan Harvest is packed with crazy stuff like sweet potatoes, plantains, and sunflower seeds. PLUS, they've got whole-grain goodness goin' on (the Tuscan has whole-grain noodles and the Mayan rocks whole-grain polenta). Forget everything you know about frozen foods...
