Natural and organic foods specialist Amy's, Santa Rosa, Calif., says its new frozen entrees won't weigh you down with the wrong types of ingredients.
Even the name, Amy's Light & Lean Meals, says it all. Amy's says the new line has four meals ($4.89 each) each containing fewer than 300 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 590 mg of sodium.
"Amy’s Light & Lean Meals were created in response to consumer requests for meals that would fit their diet plans," the company says. "As with all Amy’s products, Light & Lean Meals are organic, vegetarian, and are made without the use of trans fats or GMOs."
