Hillshire Farm’s Turkey Lil’ Smokies

One of our favorite party snacks is Lil’ Smokies baked in Pillsbury Crescent rolls, they are really yummy and highly addicting! The downside, they are really fattening.  As part of my new commitment to my health I am always looking for healthier alternatives to some of my favorite food items.

Hillshire Farm recently sent me samples of their new Turkey Lil’ Smokies and Turkey Smoked Sausage for my family to try out and I was pleasantly surprised!  There was practically no grease when I cooked up the sausage and the kids devoured the Lil’ Smokies.  Not only do they taste really great but the fat and calorie content is MUCH lower than the traditional products.

Here is the breakdown for a 5 link serving of Lil’ Smokies

Regular Lil’ Smokies    fat     14g   calories     160

Big difference huh?  I love food, I love to eat and that has been the hardest part of my Your Shape Challenge, however finding great products like this make it much easier to enjoy my favorite foods without all of the guilt.
