I’m a Dad. Believe it or not, I too need to eat properly. Honestly though, once you’re a parent, making time to provide oneself a wholesome meal tends to slip through the cracks. Aside from work responsibilities, the little people in our lives aka kids, commandeer the bulk of the day. That results in eating what’s readily available at the moment. I’m fairly certain grabbing a handful of potato chips and downing a sport drink doesn’t equate to nutritional balance. The obvious solution is better time management and food choices. Ideally, the ability to prepare a wholesome meal that’s convenient would come in handy as well. Enter STOUFFER’S® Fit Kitchen entrees to the rescue.
Energy comes a premium when you’re an active Dad. Every 14 ounce STOUFFER’S® Fit Kitchen entree contains at least 25 grams of protein which is key to fueling a day’s worth of adventures. I love that every STOUFFER’S® Fit Kitchen meal is not only packed with protein but veggies, complex carbs too. I had the opportunity to try a variety of Fit Kitchen entrees. My personal favorite was the Cilantro Lime Chicken. It had just the right kick of spicy flavor. In fact, I’d designate STOUFFER’S® Fit Kitchen as my new wingman.
Here’s the STOUFFER’S® Fit Kitchen lineup:
- STEAK FAJITA in smoked red chile sauce with a mix of red & green peppers and seasoned brown rice
- CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN white meat chicken with a black bean & corn mix, seasoned brown rice and a verde tomatillo sauce
- ROTISSERIE SEASONED TURKEY with a mix of diced red skin sweet potatoes & green beans
- MONTEREY CHICKEN with diced red skin & sweet potatoes, lightly buttered green beans with BBQ style sauce
- BOURBON STEAK with chipotle mashed sweet potatoes, seasoned broccoli & red peppers
- OVEN ROASTED CHICKEN with diced red skin potatoes, seasoned broccoli and a savory wine sauce
As I mentioned previously, balancing one’s eating habits can be hard work for Dads. Choosing wholesome food options make the challenge just a bit easier. Whether going to the park with my kids or working out on my own, providing my body with a healthy mix of nutrients helps me become a better Dad.
