There is no healthy frozen food entree I won't try when it's on sale. The new Fruit Inspirations products from Weight Watchers' Smart Ones had me feeling skeptical at first but won me over.

Weight Watchers' Fruit Inspirations

Weight Watchers' Fruit Inspirations are a new line of frozen food entrees for dieters which rely on fruit for flavors, added Vitamins, extra fiber and a boost of happy flavors.

Smart Ones Cranberry Turkey Medallions Description

I did not know what to expect when I opened the alarming red box which held the Smart Ones Cranberry Turkey Medallions. There is something off-putting about the red box. I tend to shy away from the Weight Watchers' Smart Ones product line, because of their red signature boxes.

I was definitely inspired to try the new Weight Watchers' Fruit Inspirations because I like a little fruit with my meals.

The black container of food was a big mess when it came out of the microwave. I don't know if the vegetables were supposed to be dancing around with the turkey and flirting with the cranberries, but they were.

The diced potatoes, sliced green beans and perfect carrot circles were everywhere. I didn't mind the party they were having, and helped it along, by completely mixing the food until the cranberries and cranberry sauce were spread out over all of the food.

People who do not like their vegetables mixed with their meat, and fruit all over the place may not like that the Weight Watchers' Fruit Inspirations Cranberry Turkey Medallions is one big tasty mess.

Smart Ones by Weight Watchers' Cranberry Turkey Medallions Variety of Flavors

What I like most about the Smart Ones Cranberry Turkey Medallions is the medley of flavors. Some frozen food entrees have two or three flavors at most. The Smart Ones Cranberry Turkey Medallions frozen entree is bursting with different flavors and textures.

There is the sweetness of the cranberry sauce, the crunchy goodness of the carrots and the green beans, all of which complement the turkey and the comforting potatoes. There is even some bread stuffing with cuts of celery.

Sounds good Pam, I like my fruits and veggies separate, it doesn't look that hard to move some of the sauce aside. Have a great weekend. Hugs Mary

Well, you have me drooling for more food now. I like this article because you explained this so well. You should be a food critic on restaurants in your area.

Good article. Sorry I haven't been commenting on articles the last few days. I have been having a horrible time with my fibromyalgia. Hope to get in the swing of things again real soon.

You sold me when you wrote that it was like having your own Thanksgiving dinner in one container (except for the pie). I do get a craving for something a bit different and this sounds like the perfect combination :)

It's good I read this review as I do not like cranberry sauce. I love cranberry juice but not cranberry sauce. This was an excellent and informative article.
