Looking for ways to cut calories while not making noticeable changes to the way I eat has been my strategy recently for dropping an extra couple of pounds. I don't really mind healthy alternatives, and often even prefer them. I am one of those rare people who actually loves healthy food and will choose the healthier option anyday over a calorie-laden, full fat alternative, even if it doesn't taste quite as good. So when I recently picked up some
Arnold Select Sandwich Thins I was quite surprised with how flavorful they were, and found myself feeling like I was actually treating, rather than depriving myself.
While on a recent trip to Pawley's Island we had a cookout one evening. Even though I planned to indulge in a homemade burger (1/2 ground sirloin, 1/2 ground pork) I thought it would be a great time to save a few calories on the bun (hey, every little bit counts). Let's just say that I wasn' disappointed. A few days later when I made salmon cakes (like crabcakes but with salmon) I decided to have a salmon cake sandwich. With a little low-fat basil mayo, a few mixed greens and a toasted
Arnold Select Sandwich Thin I had the perfect lunch!
What's good about them? These babies are made with whole grains and contain a full 5 grams of fiber in each one! Plus there's no high-fructose corn syrup. Lots of good ingredients add up to a flavorful taste. Each sandwich thin contains just 100 calories and is pre-sliced, making them easy to open without making a big mess. They're nice and soft yet hold their shape, and toast up well. Great with burgers, salmon cakes, luncheon meats, cheeses, veggies, etc.
Who would eat them? Well, so far they've gotten the thumbs up from everyone who's tried them in my house. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't like them. If you or your family don't like multi-grain bread, try the Whole Grain white version for a smooth texture and none of the grainy stuff.
Find these at your local grocery in the bread section. They're about $2.99 for a pack of 8.
