The verdict is in

Last night I cooked up something different for dinner. I really love salmon, but buying it fresh and cooking it is expensive and time consuming. Then I saw these guys.

Blue Horizon Salmon Burgers

D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!!!! They are made of wild salmon (not farmed,) no preservatives, antibiotics, or chemicals. 157 calories, 8.5g fat, 18.2g protein, 312mg sodium. I'm always kind of cautious about premade/prepackaged things in the frozen foods section. I always think stuff I find there are high in sodium, low in nutrients, because so much of it is! My roommate bought a frozen pasta dish/dinner in a bag thing and it had 1200mg of sodium in one serving! That's half your day's recommended intake of sodium in 1.5 cups of pasta!!! It also has half your day of saturated fat AND half your day of cholesterol, and about 550 calories for one serving, with only 3g fiber and 17g protein. So unhealthy and not worth it!


Anyway, sorry, unhealthy crap like that gets me all worked up. As you can see, these salmon burgers don't have that much sodium. I had my burger on a 100 calorie english muffin with some feta cheese and tons of veggies. I was in love! Plus, one burger has 1,000mg Omega-3s! For dessert, I warmed up a Vitatop and then smothered it in warmed berries. I told ya, I'm addicted to berries!


Are there any healthy foods you can't get enough of right now? Have you found any grocery store gems like my salmon burgers?
