Lunchables Snack Duos - and before we go any further, nope. This isn't a sponsored post. I just ran into these and wanted to share.
Anyhoo...they come in packs of two, but I had already ripped into one in the above picture, and at my Kroger, the two pack was $1.99 on sale. I believe the tag said $2.49 regularly priced.
What I love:
- Small portion. Perfect for a quick lunch.
- Small pieces. No dicing required, and less risk taking too big bites.
- Assembly required. My favorite thing about Lunchable-type meals. Makes a little food take a long time, so you feel like you're eating more.
- 150 calories and 8 grams of protein.
What I don't love:
- Processed, processed, processed. Ham with water and "smoke flavor" added, "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product". Blech. (But boy do all those chemicals taste good...)
- Ran out of mini Ritz crackers well before I ran out of meat or cheese. Come on, guys!
All in all, I know that there are healthier, more natural options available, but for quick, convenient, and low-cal, this will do. I also bought the turkey and mozzarella variety, but have yet to give it a try.
What have you guys found as a great quick meal/snack option? Share, please!
Being pregnant has me from eating all the lunch meat stuff, so I tend to go for the breakfast bars because they fill me up and are not a huge "meal". I also like the dehydrated fruit and granola bar combo.
ReplyDeleteThey have been here for about a year or so. I also take them to work sometimes for a quick lunch. I try not to eat them too often because of the sodium in them.
ReplyDeleteI was at Whole Foods the other day and noticed that they make something like that in their deli--they assemble it there instead of selling it prepackaged, and of course the ingredients would be more on the "natural" side. But still high in sodium. I didn't try them but noted them for future reference.
