"It's hard to believe it's healthy...I've said that so many times!\n\nWhat it is:\nHealthy and fresh made food, with something for everyone; smoothies, salads, sandwiches, pizza, cookies and bars. *I have my favorites - see below for my recommendations* Produce is purchased locally through their participation in a CSA; I like that they buy local, just like I do. The sauces and dressings, the salsas and greens...now I wish I had the curry chicken sandwich to munch on while sitting here writing this! Caesar dressing is out of this world, the mango salsa, also a favorite!\n\nWhat it is NOT:\nPrefabbed, shelf-stable, just add water and microwave meals that you see on TV. Have you ever eaten that stuff? (Those people are getting paid to say it tastes great and not like cardboard, I just know it!) It is also not the freshly frozen type that you order on the Internet and put it together yourself later, been there done that also.\n\nWhat you should know/remember:\nThis is food with a conscience. While national chains are bragging about their low fat or low carb menu, they are still selling you a plate with more than a days worth of sodium or sugar. Fit Fresh is not going to be the right answer for everyone all the time, but it is certainly a great alternative. FF gives you a chance to see what a balanced breakfast, lunch or dinner looks like, so you can better teach yourself, when you want to stay in and cook. \n\nMy Favorites:\nSmoothie - Popeye or The Hodgson\nBreakfast Sandwich - Texan\nFlatbread & Salad - Soprano w/Caesar\nSalad: Barley Chicken Salad\nSandwich - Meatball or Philly, honorable mention - curry chicken \nDinner - Large Flatbread of Spicy Black Bean w/family Caesar (best special yet)\nDessert - Sucker for those chocolate chip cookies, I used to buy 2 everyday :)\n\nYou don't need to be a member of Hybrid Fitness to eat at Fit Fresh Cuisine or to participate in any meal plan. If you have a fitness or weight loss goal, the help is there and the plan is great. If your goal is to make eating healthy at home easier and learn what portions should look like, again, I say give it a shot. When all the adding points and calorie counting math has got you down, this is where you should turn."^^ .
