Best of Kosher Food: Diet Iced Tea!

The Best of Kosher Food continues! One of the best low calorie drinks I have ever had the pleasure of consuming is manufactured by Arizona. In particular I'm referring to Lite ice tea and Lemonade ALA Arnold Palmer. It features brewed black tea with lemonade and only 50 calories per serving. As it uses both sugar and sucralose you really have no diet after taste and it is quite a refreshing beverage.

Best of Kosher Food: Dietetic: Potato Chips!

Continuing on my journey to find the very best in Kosher Foodand snacks, I stumbled upon a great find. Baked potato chips by UTZ. I decided to take a look at the cheddar & Sour Cream variety. They were quite crisp and had excellent flavor. The fat content is just 3.5 grams per ounce (12 chips) at 120 calories is not bad at all. The most surprising thing was there are actually 2 grams of fiber per serving. On weight watchers that would be just 2 points per ounce. Enjoy!

Best in Kosher Food: Dietetic Part VI

Continuing with our series on the best in kosher Dietetic Food I bring you Entenmann's 100 calorie little bites. Now Entenmann's is certainly not a name that comes to mind when you are thinking of "diet" foods. They certainly manufacture some of the most heart clogging cakes and donuts. Lately however it seems they have been taking a more serious a look at the more health conscious consumer. These portion sized 100 calorie bites are just 2 point per pack on a weight watchers diet and they are pretty tasty. They have several different flavors to choose from including: blueberry or chocolate chip muffins, chocolate brownie, click here for a full list.

Best in Kosher Food: Dietetic IV

As we continue on this road of The Best in Kosher Dietetic foods, I must say there are always some surprises. It's not always that easy to find something that tastes great but is low in calorie and fats. One of the more difficult things to find is a great dessert that one can really sink their teeth into. When one is counting calories as on the weight watchers program, it's always easier to have the portions ready made as opposed to having to measure. For example: it's easier to get ice cream as a sandwich than purchasing a container of it and having to measure the scoop. With that said, I was pretty impressed with skinny cows. I'm not referring to that dream Yosef had about Egypt but of course the Ice Cream. I had sampled both the vanilla and Cookies n' cream sandwiches (I saved the chocolate for my wife). They were both quite good and had a nice flavor and consistancy. They didn't taste quite as rich as regular ice cream but all things considered it makes the grade.

Best in Kosher Food : Dietetic III

When your on a diet as my family is you look for foods low in calorie intake but that taste good and fill you up. One of the tricks to getting that full feeling is having a soup. One of my favorite low calorie soups is the soup line by Tabatchnick. The flavors I enjoy most are the chili, cream spinach and minestroni. These soups taste great and our low calorie and high in fiber. Most major supermarkets carry them in the frozen isle. Check them out.

Best in Kosher Food : Dietetic!

Welcome to my new segment on the Best in Kosher Food: Diet Foods. I hope you find this information helpful in your quest to shed a few pounds this summer. As I mentioned earlier my wife and I have started on the weight watchers diet. This diet is all about the point system and how many points you can consume depends on your body weight. The key of course is to find great foods that are filling but low in points and for parents, something that's quick and easy. I think we really hit the jackpot on Guiltless Gourmet wraps! They come in 4 flavors: Mediterranean Spinach,California Veggie, Four Bean Chili & Black Bean Chipolte. These wraps have none or little cholesterol, low fat, high fiber and are organic and are about 5 points each. To make matters even better we got 2 for $3 on sale. These wraps may be hard to find and you may want to ask your supermarket to carry them. I've tried the spinach and California and they are really good. Stay tuned for more great dietetic foods.
