South Beach says: South Beach Diet Wraps combine the perfect blend of ingredients - soft wraps, flavorful sauces or dressings, and natural cheeses or crunchy toppings - for a taste sensation you’ll love!

Kelly says: I am not on the South Beach diet. I am a carb lover (hello, Easten European heritage!) and I find dieting slightly freaky. I’m not talking about eating healthy. I’m talking about dieting, you know, the sort that brings to mind the Gap Girls on Saturday Night Live.

But the South Beach Diet is supposed to be nutritious and filling, satisfying even. So when I saw this adult lunchable on sale at my grocery store, I thought “Great! Now I won’t have to wait in the office microwave line!”

Ugh, I’d rather wait in line than eat this any day. The mayo alone is 40 calories. Which means that cutting out the mayo brings this meal down to 210 calories. I also did not consume the Jell-o. Even healthier, right? WRONG. I was hungry in two hours. That’s what happens when you don’t EAT anything. I felt like Chris Farley in that video, but minus David Spade and Adam Sandler as my preppy sidekicks.

Even though it does not need to be said, I will say it: South Beach Diet’s Turkey Bacon Club Wraps is not a filling lunch, though it is sort of fun to put together. There are ultra-processed turkey slices, mini wheat tortillas, and a little packet of bacon. I wish I could just buy little packs of bacon in the store. Then I could occasionally use bacon without making the whole house smell like deep fried meat.

I know, there are pouches of pre-made bacon already out there, and they aren’t even refrigerated! That weirds me out.

Bacon aside, these South Beach Diet wraps are simply Lunchables for adults but without the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup or Andes mint. Wowsers. 47% of my sodium intake for the day was in the ~~meal~~ 7 ounce snack.

As a college educated adult I should know better than to eat this junk.

i take my lunch to work and buy the sb diet “lunchables” to throw in my lunch bag when I don’t have time to put lunch together. I have found that they keep my blood sugar even all day and I don’t get hungry again. i think how satisfied with these depends on how much food you’re eating. in terms of WW points, these keep me going longer than some 9 point lunches (leftovers) i bring. i really like the sesame chicken wraps. mileage definitely varies with how much you care about sodium etc. i wish they replaced the jello with pudding though.

[...] I usually stick to known brand name products offered at low, low prices (see poorly chosen South Beach Diet Lunchable), I’m occasionally inclined to sample a Target brand item. My experience with these [...]

Where can I purchase the turkey and bacon wraps on the island of Oahu? My favorite stores no longer carry the Southbeach food line.

I love these; also like the hami deli wraps. I used to have mid-afternoon or mid-mroning hunger attacks no matter what I ate. Eliminated with these. Especially effective when eaten for breakfast. (You need to microwave them 30-40 seconds to soften the wrap — if you didn’t do that, I can see why you might not like them)

Got them at the 99 cent store and warmed them up as you suggested Ann.
They were so YUMMY will consider purchasing different wraps at the market.
