So you want to be a vegan?
So you want to be a vegan? Most of you (all 4 of you who read this) would most likely say no way! That doesn't mean you still can't make better decisions for your health. I was craving wanted a hot dog, so I searched and found "Smart Dogs." Hot dogs made with vegetable protein! I was curious, so I pan fried them (sprayed with cooking spray) and gave them a try... an All American meal!
They look just like the real thing... how do they taste? They were great, I couldn't even really tell a difference between these and the traditional ones. And there is quite a nutritional difference!
Smart Dogs: 45 calories per dog, 0 fat, 0 cholesterol, 8 grams protein, 1 gram fiber
Oscar Mayer Original Hot Dogs: 130 calories per dog, 12 grams fat (4 grams saturated), 35 mg cholesterol, 5 grams protein, 0 grams fiber
There you have it! You can still eat the things you love, just find a healthier alternative!
If you have kids, I bet you could make this switch and they wouldn't even know! I dare you!
OK, so what's the price difference? And where did/do you find them?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised to see the ketchup on your plate there. It has a lot of sugar in it. I've been using mustard instead of ketchup these days. Just a thought.
