Mix up your morning routine with HMR multigrain cereal and fruit. HMR multigrain cereal is packed full of nutrition - 10 grams of protein, whole grain wheat, oats and corn plus apples, cranberries and currants! Add fruit for more volume and variety - this recipe uses peaches, but bananas, blueberries and strawberries are great, too. If you want a little more sweetness or spice - add cinnamon, nutmeg, or a non caloric sweetener like splenda brown sugar. Use Walden Farms non caloric maple syrup for a real treat!
HMR multigrain cereal has more bang for your buck than any other hot cereal on the market and it's quick, easy and delicious! It's great on the go - just pop it in the microwave.
As breakfast, mid-day snack or a late night munchie - HMR multigrain cereal with fruit is sure to satisfy!

Lots of fancy coffee drinks have more calories than a meal, but none can offer the nutrition you'll get in a delicious HMR Cafe Mocha.
Use HMR 500, HMR 800, or HMR 120 chocolate or vanilla, mix with your favorite brewed coffee and voila! Healthy wake up to go!

All HMR shakes can be made with diet sodas - just remember to always add the shake mix to the soda and not the other way around!
Polar makes a wide variety of diet sodas inclusing chocolate fudge, cream soda and rootbeer! Try them all for a new twist on an old soda fountain favorite.

It's hard to find anything at a Mexican Take Out for less than 800-1200 calories. Fried tortilla stuffed with beef or chicken will bust your diet budget - but even the veggie entrees are often sauteed in oil and packed with high fat cheese and sour cream! The beans are usually cooked in lard or some other animal fat which means hidden calories galore!
Try this quick and very healthy Mexican Salad using the HMR entree, Mexican Enchilladas with Beef, instead. It comes in at about 500 calories - and you can dice it and spice it by adding more veggies, too, like chopped peppers, salsa, avocado, tomatoes, black, red or pink beans and onions.
If you like frozen corn instead of canned, simply pour the corn in a strainer and run hot water over it until it thaws (and you can eat the HMR Mexican Enchillada entree at room temp - or just slightly heated if you prefer a cold salad). Canned corn sometimes has sugar added - so always read the label!
Finish off the HMR Mexican Enchillada Salad with a healthy sprinkle of cilantro for a cool, authentic flavor.
Chop all the veggies and set the table for a family buffet. This is a quick and easy meal the whole family will enjoy!
