This all natural burger is super tasty...but you gotta know what you are getting yourself into. Don't expect it to taste like a burger - it's filled with corn, black beans and cilantro, so expect it to be like a Baja Fresh type burger (but much more healthful, of course). You need to go with the sour cream (or greek yogurt) and salsa sides vs. ketchup and cheddar cheese. A great way to mix up your veggie grillin', though, with some low cal sass! Although this is high in fiber, iron and Vitamin C...watch out - it's getting up there on sodium and is not a good source of protein.

I didn't like Amy's California burger so much, but as they say, cheddar makes everything better...and it sure is true in this case. This had a nice smokey cheddar taste that made it really rich and delish. As with all Amy's burgers, this is super healthful: organic, low in fat, high in fiber, protein, calcium and iron. Definitely my top pick for Amy's burgers, although I have not tried them all yet (I'm having some trouble finding them for some reason). The others I've tried have had a very wheaty, oaty taste, so be prepared for that.

Alexia definitely knows how to make things taste pretty awesome. Although not the lowest calorie sweet potato fries around (currently that prize goes to Ian's sweet potato fries), they definitely taste the best. These all natural fries are loaded with potassium and Vitamin A (one of the benefits of switching to sweet potato vs. regular potato fries) and are low in saturated fats. I also love McCain's sweet potato fries, but those are not all natural (and higher in sugar & sodium). You can get these just about anywhere...so give them a try...I bet you won't want to "leggo"!

7.02.2009: Just Veggin'...Italian Style

When compared to real Italian sausages, these veggie guys are definitely drier. The benefit is it doesn't have any of the greasy fat, but the downside, of course, is that it's a little more crumbly. That being said, these sausages are really good - they are very deliciously spiced and a good size. Nutrition-wise, there is no comparison: a regular Italian sausage can have 10g of saturated fat, while this one has almost none. You also save 150+ calories...all in all, I'd say definitely worth just veggin' on this one - Italian style. *Note: these contain corn syrup solids.

I've been on the lookout for a lime tortilla chip for literally YEARS since I gave up Tostitos' hint of lime chips, which I had a shameful love affair with at one time. Finally...I have found a delicious, all natural alternative with 30 fewer calories and a TON less fat (not to mention no partially hydrogenated oils or questionable artificial colors). These really live up to their name - gourmet flavoring with lowfat guiltless snacking. No doubt a super fab addition to your festivities - no one will know you made this SO FINE lime swap!

I am not sure if it's because of my very painful and emotionally scarring experience trying different veggie dogs - i.e., Tofurkey dogs and Smart Deli dogs - but these 50 calorie Morningstar Farms dogs totally blew me away! SO amazingly good...they tasted like real hot dogs! I have to hand it to Morningstar Farms, they know how to make veggie foods taste like meat. These dogs have basically no fat and MORE protein than a beef or turkey dog, which surprised me. Also, they have no cholesterol (unlike beef and turkey dogs). These contain corn syrup solids, so if you are cutting those out, watch out.
