Frozen Skillet Meals Made Better

These meals can be a heart-healthy choice if you follow these tips:• Choose a meal that is low in saturated fat, preferably less than 1 g of saturated fat per serving.• Read the package directions so you can choose a meal that contains the sauce in a separate package. This way you can use half or less of the sauce to reduce the sodium, which is usually very high in these meals.• Add a few more veggies, such as spinach or kale, to boost flavor and nutrients. They also make the portion size larger without adding a lot of calories.
