Pro meals - Food Of The Month - Brief Article

Men's Fitness, April, 2002

EVER have days when you need a solid hit of low-fat protein, but you just can't stomach another sickly sweet chocolate shake? Then check out Pro Meals, a line of ultrahealthy mini-meal snack pockets made with a whey protein whole-wheat crust, hormone-and pesticide-free chicken, and organic vegetables. If this sounds too good to be true, so do the flavors: pepperoni pizza, turkey burger, barbecued chicken, and breakfast burrito (made with egg whites and turkey). If you're trying to eat the MEN'S FITNESS-recommended five or six small meals a day, and there are times when you need a punch of real food, this is your ticket. Pro Meals are available at Whole Foods stores or at www.promeals.com for $3.
