Applegate Hot Dog on Whole Wheat Bun
Baked Shoestring “Fries”
Fresh Cole Slaw
Strawberry-Yogurt Smoothie
The hot dogs are from Applegate Farms - so they are far better than many hot dogs but are hot dogs nonetheless. The ingredients are just: beef, water, sea salt, less than 2% of the following: celery juice, sodium lactate (from beets), lactic acid starter culture (not from milk), onion powder, spices, garlic powder, paprika. They have 6g of fat(2.5g saturated) and 380 mg of sodium. They are dairy-, casein- and gluten-free. They promote it as nitrate-free but this NYT article indicates the nitrate issue is tricky - and cites the company saying their bacon has the same level (naturally) of cancer-causing nitrates as conventional brands. You may also not want your kids growing up thinking hot dogs are a good lunch given the potential link between processed meats and cancer. The bun is whole wheat.
The fries come from McCain's labeled "Frozen French Fried Potatoes" and the ingredients are: potatoes, vegetable oil (contains one or more of the following: canola oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, corn oil), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate added to preserve natural color.
The smoothie will be made with either plain yogurt to which we add honey or vanilla yogurt (no honey) if we can't get plain plus 1% milk and frozen strawberries.
