Weight Watchers Favorite Frozen Foods • Simple Nourished Living

When you are trying to lose weight and eat better a well-stocked freezer can be your best friend. When you are busy and hungry convenience is key so anything to help avoid the temptation of takeout or the drive-through is a good thing.

Used wisely, frozen meals, ingredients and treats can help provide you with easy healthy options for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner as well as tasty snacks and treats. They can help make portion control and calorie or points counting easier too.

Instead of trying to figure out how many calories you are going to get in a home-cooked meal or at a restaurant, you just flip the package over and you get everything you need to know on the nutritional label.

I polled my WW Facebook Page fans to get their suggestions. Here's what they offered up:

Tyson Blackened Chicken Breast Strips
Smartpoints value of 2 (Green) or 0 (Blue, Purple)

Tyson® Blackened Chicken Breast Strips are lightly crisp with a pinch of not-too-spicy heat. Simple, zesty, and an all-natural source of 20 grams of protein. "These are so good! They are so easy to prepare and go with everything. Low in calories and points, I've told many of my Weight Watchers friends about them."

Try to add a side salad and a serving of fruit to round out your meal, especially if you're having a lower-calorie frozen dinner. Not only will it boost the vitamin, mineral and fiber content, but the extra fruit and vegetables will help fill you up.

After all, what good is the portion-controlled serving if you still feel hungry after you eat it?

Healthy Choice Simple Steamers Chicken & Veg Stir fry
Smartpoints value of 4 (Green), or 1 (Blue, Purple)

"I discovered the Healthy Choice simply steamers a few weeks ago, and the first was so good that now I have to try them all! This one didn't disappoint. It's loaded with chicken and broccoli, the perfect flavor combination in my opinion."

Lean Cuisine Alfredo Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli
280 Calories and 8 (Green) or 7 (Blue, Purple) SmartPoints

"Another one of my go-to flavors. Nice & creamy sauce & noodles w/ a little texture change w/ the chicken & broccoli. I sometimes wish there were more broccoli in it, but I'm sure I could supplement it myself in times of extreme need... The only way it could be any better for me is if the pasta were whole wheat, but that's just a personal preference."

Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers Chicken Pesto Classico
8 (Green) or 7 (Blue, Purple) SmartPoints

"This is my favorite of all the dishes... not sure how or when I discovered it. ... I always put lemon pepper seasoning on it and it gives the kick it needs to go from ordinary to really really good."

Healthy Choice Power Bowls with Cauliflower Rice in several flavors including basil pesto chicken, spicy black bean and chicken and chicken marinara

WW Santa Fe Rice and Beans over salad, or potato or in tacos or with poached eggs
SmartPoints value of 8 (Green) or 7 (Blue, Purple)

"This is all of the mexican food you want without the calories and guilt. This is one of my favorites and it is seriously filling. The flavor is great and I can even put some sour cream on top without the guilt because the calories are so low. Mexican food can be heavy but this fulfills my cravings and keeps me feeling happy with myself and my choices."

Healthy Choice Simple Steamers Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
3 Smartpoints value (Green, Blue, Purple)

"I never eat frozen dinners but I was drawn by the macros and calories of the frozen meal and decided to try it out and WOW. I cannot believe how much protein is packed in this low calorie meal! I was concerned the chicken would taste like it does on an airplane but frankly its amazing considering it is frozen. I highly recommend this to anyone."

Trader Joe's Riced Cauliflower Stir-Fry
1 SmartPoint value (Green, Blue, Purple).

The newest addition to TJ's user-friendly frozen lineup. A boon to the home cook, it starts with a base of blanched, toothsome cauliflower crumbles seasoned with savory tamari sauce and nutty sesame oil. Green peas, red bell peppers, grilled corn, and spring onions are added for fresh, vegetal flavor and vibrant color.

On top of its careful composition, this veggie-party-in-a-bag offers impressive nutrition to boot, with just 50 calories, two grams of fat and seven grams of carbs in a one-cup serving. It'd be difficult to say the same about fried rice from a takeout container.

This gnocchi (NYOK-kee) made for TJs in Italy, is made with about 75% cauliflower, which translates to fewer carbs, with significantly less fat & calories than potato-based varieties.

A frozen dumpling can't match fresh. But for your money, you can't do much better than the Chicken Gyoza Potstickers or the Pork Gyoza Potstickers from Trader Joe's. This product hits all of the right chewy, succulent, comforting dumpling notes.
