Weight Watchers Smart Ones Sesame Noodles with Vegetables is described as having Lo Mein pasta, snap peas, broccoli, carrots & red peppers in sesame sauce. I followed the directions, heating this up int he microwave for 3 minutes, then pulling back the film and heating again for another minute. A quick stir of things and I had something that closely resembled the picture on the packaging.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 1 pkg (255 grams)
Calories: 280
Total Fat: 2.5 grams, 4%
Saturated Fat: 0.5 grams, 3%
Sodium: 430mg, 18%
Carbohydrates: 55 grams, 18%
Fiber: 7 grams, 27%
Sugars: 14 grams
Protein: 10 grams

The overwhelming flavor of this meal is from the sweetness of the sauce. If you have a sweet tooth, trust me that this will take the edge of some of your cravings. All the components worked well together though, and I enjoyed the noodles & the mixed vegetables of which there was plenty. I don't know about you, but a frozen dinner alone is not enough to make a filling lunch, so to mine I added a side salad, an apple, a small container of yogurt and water - no sugary drinks necessary here. And that's still a little shy of 500 calories for a pretty tasty, filling meal.

Each packaged Weight Watchers Smart Ones Sesame Noodles with Vegetables meal provides 280 calories, a low 2.5 grams of total fat, 0.5 grams of which is saturated fat, 10 grams of protein, 7 grams of fiber and 14 grams of sugars. Each one also provides 7 PointsPlus Value. The ingredients list is not too bad, lengthy, but most of the ingredients are recognizable. There is "sucralose concentrate" which is an artificial sweetener, so if you're not into that, be forewarned - and this helps to explain why it's so sweet.

I purchased 1 for $2.50 - they were on sale, and I would buy this one again. It's not a "wow" meal, but it's good enough to make a tasty lunch.

5 Servings of Fruit & Vegetables Daily for February Eat Healthy Challenge

Every month I'll be doing a challenge to incorporate better healthy eating habits into my diet. I invite you to join me in whatever way you can.

February Challenge
To eat 5 servings of fruit & vegetables daily.

Why: To incorporate more nutrients naturally into the diet (i.e. not in supplement form), and to show that it's not hard (and not expensive). The website Fruits & Veggies Matter will tell you how many cups of fruit & vegetables you need based on your age, gender & activity level.

How
This is how "I" am going to do it.
A salad with lunch - 2 servings of vegetables (at least)
Salad with dinner or a side of vegetables - 1 serving (at least)
Fruit with breakfast & post-workout or afternoon snack - 2 servings (at least)

A serving for vegetables is: 1/2 cup cut up veggie, raw, cooked, frozen, or canned (looks like the bulb part of a light bulb) 1 cup leafy greens

I'll be updating i{ate}A{pie}.net regularly with my progress, and salad recipes from other bloggers, so join me! Blog about it, or just incorporate this into your month as you see fit.
