My favorite healthy packaged food is Greek yogurt, especially Chobani. Lots of protein and great when mixed with cereal, fruit or oatmeal.

Kind plus protein almond/macadamia!

I love Greek yogurt and Kashi cereal!

One of my new favorite packaged foods is the annie chuns brown rice noodles! I just discovered then and the are perfect for so many different types of meals. Especially when I make my own homemade pad thai! They bring more nutrients and not as much fast to my meals and I can't wait to cook more with these noodles!

Kashi cereral is awesome. If you have to eat breakfast, Kashi is a great product. Lots of fibre and vitamin! Yummy!

Kashi "Go Lean" Toasted Berry Crumble, OMG! My favorite cereal ever!

marla.arbach 3-04-2011 @ 1:01PM

My favourite packaged food is Ezekiel sprouted grain cereal. All the flavours are good but cinnamon raisin and almond are my two favourites. I also love their bread!

Ronda 3-04-2011 @ 1:20PM

I love shirataki noodles. They are so virsatile and an easy replacement to regular types of pastas and noodles. Try them with Lucini Rustic Tomato Basil Sauce, talk about a quick & easy spaghetti dinner, yum!

I LOVE instant oatmeal--and the Country Choice Organic version with flax is super!

S. Price 3-04-2011 @ 1:28PM

I love Larabar! Especially carrot cake and banana bread. :)

Dawn Milmine 3-04-2011 @ 1:47PM

My favorite is good old fashioned plain Quaker Oatmeal. I can make it different everyday by adding any variation of fresh or frozen fruit or sometimes just cinnamon. Mmm mmm good!

Alana 3-04-2011 @ 2:16PM

Kashi Go Lean Cereal

Shari 3-04-2011 @ 2:27PM

I have the Uncle Ben's Ready Rice (brown) a couple times a week. So easy.

jordan miller 3-04-2011 @ 2:45PM

I love kool-aids mango flavor (from the unsweetened envelopes), cause I can add less sweetener to make it a sour mango drink.

Julia 3-04-2011 @ 3:20PM

My favorite packaged food is a Lean Cuisine Market Creations microwave meal (the kind that come in the bag). Almost EVERY variety is amazing, but the Chicken Poblano is something special. They are a good portion size for lunch, have lots of veggies, tasty sauces, and good chicken quality.

I absolutely love Kashi's Toasted Berry Crumble. It is very flavorful and gives me that crunch I need in the morning, and leaves me feeling very full.
