My afternoon snack today was a Stonyfield Organic Fat Free Yogurt with almond slivers mixed in. It was just something small since dinner was going to be early. I had somewhere to go tonight so I had to eat dinner before I left at 5 or I wouldn't get a chance to eat until 9! I threw together a pretty easy, but healthy meal before I had to go, and it actually kept me satisfied for the rest of the night. I had a veggie burger on a whole wheat sandwich thin along with some steamed broccoli and roasted butternut squash. I made the squash by cutting it into cubes, coating it with a little olive oil, sprinkling it with sea salt
and then baking it in a covered baking pan until it softened. The burger was
Morning Star's Garden Veggie Patty. It's a "yummy, hearty blend of mushrooms, water chestnuts, onion, carrots, green and red bell peppers, black olives, brown rice, and rolled oats." It provides 11g of protein, 3g of fiber, and only 110 calories per burger. According to the box it's diet exchange is 1 lean meat and 2 vegetables. That's exactly what I look for in a veggie burger, and paired with such a great taste, it's a perfect alternative to meat.
