I love food. Some food, I cannot live without. Though, I always feel slightly guilty about indulging in must haves, i.e. sweets, snacks, cereals and breads (got to love those carbs)… I think it’s ok to treat yourself to goodies. For some people it’s shopping, for others it’s the, I know my nutritionist will hate me, snack attacks.

Women’s Heath Magazine has an amazing article about 125 packaged food women can easily pick out. Nutritionists Karen Ansel, R. D., Maureen Callahan, R. D., Lisa Drayer, R. D., and Kerry Neville, R. D. compiled a very cool list of foods no woman can feel guilty for eating.

3. Cookies (Country Choice Organic Soft Baked Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies)

Cereals/Breads:     

1. Hot Cereal (Quaker Simple Harvest All Natural Multigrain Instant)

2. Banana Nut Granola (Bear Naked Banana Nut Granola)

3. English Muffins (Thomas’ Better Smart)

4. Flat Bread (Flat Whole Grain Tandoori Naan)

Frozen Meals:       

1. Shrimp (Contessa Honey Roasted Shrimp)

2. Ravioli (Healthy Choice Pumpkin Squash Ravioli)
