I want to encourage you to try something new, turn your salad eating experience into a positive one.

Best Choices for Frozen Entrees!
Hey Mckinley!
I would love to be able to cook healthy and delicious meals 3 times a day but it’s just not possible. Sometimes I’ll pick up something from the hot bar or salad bar at whole foods and other times I’ll choose a frozen entree. There are a lot of frozen entrees to choose from out there but many of them are far from being considered healthy. Below is a list of 20 entrees that would be a good selection depending on your dietary needs. Two things to keep in mind when looking for the right entree:
~ Choose entrees with a sodium content of 600mg or less
~ Choose entrees with at LEAST 8g of protein
