Quorn : Meatless Burrito
Chipotle Lime Chik'n & Refried Beans
This product is a HIT!
This is one of the best burritos I've ever tasted. This totally vegetarian burrito has a nice flavor of chipotle and lime. Quorn is a meat substitute - it's made from mycoprotein - a meat-free form of high quality protein and is also a good source of dietary fiber - and egg white. I found the tortilla itself to be a little thicker than I like. The entire burrito is 380 calories, 11 grams of fat and 14 grams of protein. Take one bite and you'll actually see the kernels of corn and the tomatoes. Cooks in just 3 minutes in the microwave.

R.W. Knudsen : Sparkling Juice
Cranberry
This product is a HIT!
This year at Thanksgiving many families were trying to offset the high turkey prices. Some may have even replaced wine or champagne with this sparkling beverage. The taste is very pleasant, but not outstanding, and once again I must say that I find it misleading when companies tout in big letters 'Cranberry', showing a picture of just cranberries, when there's more apple and white grape juices than cranberry juice. That doesn't really seem fair, does it now?

Tandoor Chef: Samosa
Tandoori Chicken
This product is a HIT!
Food trucks have put samosas in the spotlight. A medium spicy blend of chicken, yogurt, tomato paste and spices wrapped up in a wheat flour triangular pocket, these can be eaten as a snack or as a meal. Each pocket is 80 calories, 4 1/2 grams of fat, with 2 1/2 grams of protein. Back to what's inside - the filling is similar to the consistency of a pate, versus chunks of chicken and is very flavorful. I know some people will eat them plain, but my recommendation is to add a spicy yogurt based sauce.

Jamba: Greek Yogurt Smoothies
Acai Super-Antioxidant Superfruit
This product is a HIT!
If you can't make it to your local smoothie bar now you can just make it at home. This Greek yogurt based fruit smoothie is absolutely delicious and easy to make by just combining one package with 8 oz of apple juice in a blender. 240 calories for the full 16 oz contains 100% vitamin C. While it does have 20 grams of sugars, most of that is naturally occurring from the fruit itself. It also contains 6 grams of protein and while it is more convenient to make yourself it'll actually cost about the same as if you went to a store.

Amy's Light & Lean: Pizza
Italian Vegetable
This product is a HIT!
This could well be the ultimate 280 calorie pizza. Just 6 grams of fat, with 13 grams of protein, the crust is nice and crispy. The flavor of the spinach, artichoke hearts and mushrooms are vibrant and the cheese is not overwhelming. My one comment would be that I would like a little bit more tomato puree. Even cooking it in the microwave, it came out perfectly. Amy, Rachel and Andy do it again!
