These are a few of my favorite products that you can buy online:

• PB2 powdered peanut butter - I love this stuff! It's peanut butter in the form of powder that you add water to. It's not quite like Skippy creamy butter; it's more like natural peanut butter. It's fantastic! For a 2 tablespoon serving (12g), it's only 54 calories. Yummy! I buy it online @ http://www.bellplantation.com



• VitaMuffins & brownies - Delicious and packed with vitamins. Most servings are 100 calories - I really like the brownies! Mmmm! You can find them online @ http://www.vitalicious.com
  
  
• Shirataki tofu noodles - These noodles are made from tofu and yam flour. They have a really "fishy" smell when you open the bag -- BUT it's worth it! Rinse them thoroughly under water before cooking (boil, stiry-fry, microwave). The entire bag only has 40 calories. They are a great low-calorie pasta/noodle substitution. If you can't find them in your local stores, try online @ GRISTEDES.com or Amazon.com -- I get the "House Foods America" brand, I'm not sure if other companies make them.
  
  I suggest using thick sauces with them, as they don't have much flavor on their own and tend to be a bit slippery, so thinner sauces run off of them too easily.
