Love Joseph’s Pita. I usually try to cut up and bake to make my own pita chips. They are awesome!!

My New Year’s resolution is to take better care of myself.I tend to focus on so many things around me and neglect myself.
I was surprised that the Sprouted wheat bread scored only 30.I really expected that to be up there.I’m going to rethink my bread choices:-) cc

Emily -
You have found an error on the NuVal website!! The General Mills Whole Grain Guaranteed Total Raisin Bran is most definitely not a 0. I have alerted our Communications Manager and we will post the correct score ASAP. Thanks for pointing that out!

Hi Jess –
I’m sticking to my New Years’ Resolution by answering your question within 24 hours! I checked with Rachel Rodek, MS, RD, LDN and Nutirition Communications Manager for NuVal. According to Rachel, “As it turns out, all spinach, whether frozen or fresh, has a score of 100 if nothing has been added to it. That’s the key: added ingredients. The Del Monte Fresh Cut Spinach scoring a 76 on the NuVal page is actually a canned product that has added salt, bringing down the score dramatically.” The name of the spinach is rather misleading. It is canned, not fresh. Great question! Best of luck on your weight loss goal and your half marathon goal! Happy New Year!

I am resolving to be more deliberate in making healthy choices at the grocery store – I wish I had Nuval at my store!

I am surprised that the Lean Cuisine pizza ranks lower than so many other frozen pizzas.

I am resolving to run a half marathon in MArch…my first! Also, to do strength training twice a week.

I was thrilled to see how high plain chobani scores…it keeps me full all morning and is a breakfast staple!

I’m going to do more yoga. I was happy to find that Atlantic Salmon Fillet scores an 87!
