Guilt-Free Comfort-Food Finds!
Comfort food doesn't have to come with a high-calorie price tag -- or require hours of slaving away at the stove. These Hungry Girl finds are proof. Happy chewing!
MorningStar Farms Veggie Corn Dogs
1 corn dog: 150 calories, 2.5g fat, 470mg sodium, 26g carbs, 3g fiber, 8g sugars, 8g protein
These frozen meatless corn dogs taste so close to the real thing, you'll swear you're eating a full-on fatty-fat county-fair corn dog! But we promise these pups are completely guilt-free. P.S. MorningStar Farms also makes bite-sized minis -- super-cute and perfect for party snacking!
Lean Cuisine Culinary Collection Chef's Pick Ranchero Braised Beef
One 8.25-oz. package: 240 calories, 4.5g fat, 540mg sodium, 34g carbs, 3g fiber, 23g sugars, 17g protein
This frozen find is a fun, no-guilt spin on a classic meat-and-potato dish. The beef is tender and comes smothered in a red chile sauce, and the side of chipotle mashed sweet potatoes is like nothing we've ever had in a frozen meal. We're SO impressed, Lean Cuisine!

Garden Lites Pizza Soufflé
One 7-oz. soufflé: 200 calories, 4g fat, 650mg sodium, 31g carbs, 3g fiber, 6g sugars, 12g protein
We love the entire lineup of freezer-aisle veggie soufflés from Garden Lites, but this new one is UNREAL and completely unique. Gooey mozzarella and tomato sauce on top of a cauliflower base -- a fantastic way to satisfy a pizza craving and sneak in some veggies too. It's the perfect side dish, snack, mini-meal... whatever!
Applegate Naturals Chicken Nuggets
7 nuggets: 180 calories, 9g fat, 210mg sodium, 12g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars, 12g protein
These frozen bites bring all the chicken-nugget flavor to the table without the high calorie, fat, and sodium counts that typically accompany breaded goodies. And since they come from Applegate, you know they're made from humanely raised, antibiotic-free chicken. Perfect for the entire family!

Bread pudding. YUM! So good it can be hard to stop at one serving. That's why these portion-controlled heat 'n eat cups ROCK. They come in Apple Cinnamon, Peach, Cinnamon Raisin, and Chocolate. Find 'em in the refrigerated dairy section of the supermarket!
Green Giant Valley Fresh Steamers Macaroni and Cheese Sauce with Broccoli
2 1/4 cups frozen (1 cup prepared): 250 calories, 5g fat, 650mg sodium, 44g carbs, 3g fiber, 11g sugars, 9g protein
Green Giant has been making delicious frozen broccoli in cheese sauce for a long time, and we've been adding it to noodles FOREVER. Now they've followed our lead and done the same thing -- we're so proud! Just 250 calories per serving. Heads up: There's "about 1" serving per bag; by our calculations, the entire bag has about 345 calories. Still not bad! And the whole thing steams in minutes in the microwave. Too easy!
