DISCOVERING NEW PRODUCTS fights diet boredom. But how do you stick to a budget with so much deliciousness at play? We did the work for you.

So, what makes a winner? We’re looking for foods that are high in protein, healthy fats, and/or fiber while also containing a sensible amount of calories and added sugar.
