Smart ones: great for Moms on the go!

 

Don't you hate when you are running around all day and realize you haven't eaten anything? It happens to me almost daily. I make sure the girls are fed and I barely have time to eat something myself! Even better, when I do actually make something the twins sit and stare like dogs at my plate. Somehow the food on my plate, although the same, is always better. Go figure!

While I don't usually eat too many frozen meals, I really love the Smart Ones brand. They actually have tasty dishes that are healthy too! If you have a sweet tooth, make sure you try their desserts. The cookie dough sundae is perfect!

When I got the opportunity to try the new Smart Ones Satisfying Selections, I jumped at the chance. I sometimes feel like one meal is never enough to fill me up. These meals are a larger portion, served in a steam bag. I was shocked when I looked at the nutrition facts, they are still really low in fat. Also, they were on sale and cheaper than the regular Smart Ones. After I paid, a coupon for $1.00/2 came out. Bonus!

Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo.  Mmm!

The first meal I tried was the Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo. I was surprised that there was only 4 grams of fat in the whole bag. It was very tasty and I had to try my best to keep little fingers from grabbing the "curly noodles" off of my plate. It was a little peppery, but the sauce was very creamy (as you can see in the photo) and there were large chunks of white meat chicken. 

A few days later, I tried the Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry for dinner and I was a bit disappointed. I really wanted to try the Sesame Chicken anyway, but it was out so I grabbed this option. After pouring the bag into my bowl, I realized there were barely any veggies in it. I love broccoli and mushrooms in my stir fry, but this only had about 4 little pieces of peppers and a ton of rice. The only redeeming factors were that the sauce was good, there were big chunks of chicken and I love edamame. It would have been perfect if they added a vegetable variety to it! 

I will definately be a repeat customer of these meals, although I will stay away from the stir fry. I feel it is a great value for the price...you get a lot of food! 

Have you tried these meals yet? Here is a link for a Smart Ones coupon. I know there are some better ones in coupon inserts too!
