KFC Twister Sandwich

KFC Twisters are one of the few fast food items I miss.  This sandwich (although now discontinued) is close to 600 calories, which is something that definitely doesn't fit into my daily caloric allowance.  With a little shopping and experimenting I was able to make a version that is amazingly close to the real thing at only about half the calories.

Ingredients
1 low calorie tortilla (like Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla)
1/4 cup diced tomato
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1 tablespoon pepper mayo
2-3 breaded chicken tenders (aprox. 100g)

Directions
Place tortilla on counter. Spread 1 tablespoon pepper mayo down the center of the tortilla.  Top with lettuce, tomato, and chicken tenders.  Fold and eat.

Buddy Fruits

This (as it says on the package) pure blended fruit to go is quite different. It tastes kind of like a fruit roll up, but the consistency is more like jam. I ran into Walmart intending to grab a piece of fruit for breakfast. This was sitting in one of those little display boxes in the produce area with a big sign saying 88cents. It intrigued me. Upon a closer look I saw that it was 100% real fruit, all natural, and no added sugar. I picked up the Apple & Strawberry flavor and flipped it over and saw the only ingredients in this little pouch are apple, strawberry, black current juice, apple juice concentrate. I was shocked no chemicals in this crazy little pouch. The nutrition wasn't really much different than a piece of fruit. I decided I would give this little pouch a shot. Over all I wouldn't buy these regularly. They were good but I get more satisfaction from eating an actual piece of fruit. I will probably buy these and keep them on hand regardless. The expiration date is a good 9 months out so they will be handy to keep in the cabinet. They will be the perfect snack to throw in my backpack when I go for a hike for a hike, or to carry in my purse on a day I think I might need a snack. I may even keep one in my gym bag.Serving Size: 1 Pouch

Creme Filled Angel Cake

Yum, is all I have to say. I was wondering around Kroger after work and I knew I wanted something sweet but I didn't want to blow my day with a high calorie snack for the 5 minutes of enjoyment I would get from eating junk. I knew if I looked hard enough I would find something I could eat that was still low in calories but satisfying. I found these yummy little creme filled angel cakes by Specialty Bakers. They were just what I needed and only 120 calories each.
