From A Heart Surgeon To Your Freezer

Many heart surgeons share healthy eating guidelines for optimal cardiac health, but Dr. Peter Praeger took his advice one step further by creating a line of healthy and delicious frozen products.

From veggie burgers to appetizer-sized spinach bites, his products definitely deserve room in your freezer.

Last week I tried his sweet potato pancakes for the first time and was instantly hooked.

A glance at the ingredients list immediately put me at ease: Sweet potatoes, egg whites, potato flakes, onions, expeller-pressed canola oil, arrowroot, brown sugar, salt, pepper.

No wonder the product's tagline is "Where you recognize all the ingredients."

The pancakes also boast a neat nutritional profile, with each one containing 80 calories, 2 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 140 milligrams of sodium, and 3 grams of fiber.
