Sugar Snap Pea Snacks

I love to snack on sugar snap peas, so I was excited to find these great packs by Mann's. Each on-the-go bag has only 40 calories. Team it with a light cheese stick or wedge for a great snack. Available at your local supermarket.

1 bag = 40 Calories, 0g Fat, 7g Carbs, 3g Sugar, and 2g Fiber

Delicious Organic Cream of Tomato Soup

The weather is cooler, and many of us crave traditional cream of tomato soup with a sandwich. For a sophisticated twist, try this Cream of Organic Tomato with Basil soup from Christian Langloys. Available at Kings Supermarkets.

1 Cup = 90 Calories, 3.5g Fat, 13g Carbs, 6g Sugar, and 4g Fiber

Easy Way to De-seed Pomegranates

For those of you who enjoy eating pomegranate seeds but find it too cumbersome to prepare, you must try using the 60 Second Pomegranate Deseeder. Just follow the simple directions on the side and voila, you are done! Available at Kings or online at www.SeedOut.com.

Healthy Chia Seed Beverage

I am not a big juice fan due to its high sugar content and lack of fiber – but if you are looking for a sweet and nutritious treat, try this new beverage from Mamma Chia. I love the cranberry lemonade flavor. Each 10 fluid ounce bottle is loaded with chia seeds and provides 2,000mg of Omega -3’s and 10g Fiber. Available at Whole Foods and Wegmans Supermarkets.

1 Bottle = 110 Calories, 3g Fat, 19g Carbs, 9g Sugar, and 10g Fiber

Greek Yogurt... Frozen!

What a refreshing treat: Oikos Organic Nonfat Greek Frozen Yogurt. Enjoy it alone, or try adding fresh fruit and/or low fat granola. Available at your local supermarket.

1/2 Cup = 110 Calories, 0g Fat, 22g Carbs, 20g Sugar, and 6g Protein

Great Recipe App: Martha’s Everyday Food: Fresh & Easy Recipes

I enjoy Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food Magazine and also have the app for my iPhone and iPad. I find the recipes to be easy and many include the nutrition information.

Available in iTunes or the App Store
