A Few of My Favorite Things: Low-POINT lunch options

I have been looking for some new low-POINTS value foods to incorporate into my daily routine. Here are a few of my new favorites:

MorningStar Farms Garden Veggie Patty: 2 POINTS
* This is not 'trying' to be something it is not. It is not trying to fool you into thinking it is a beef or chicken patty. It IS a veggie patty. If that is your thing... I think you might enjoy this. Not that I am going meatless by ANY means, however it is a tasty lunch option for me.
Thomas Bagel Thins: 1 POINT
* That's right! A BAGEL for ONE point!!!! I know, I couldn't believe it either! Imagine someone went and sliced the middle third right out of your bagel, you would now have a bagel thin. So, add some low-point cheese and you have yourself a nice little snack or breakfast. I enjoy these with the veggie patty above and voila!!! 3-point sandwich that actually makes you feel like you have eaten something :)
Hillshire Farms Deli Select Turkey Breast: 1 POINT for 2 oz. (Yes, I measure on my scale... this is more than you think it will be)
La Tortilla Factory totrillas: 1 POINT each (This is the low-carb while grain version)
Tzatziki yogurt sauce: 1 POINT for 2 Tablespoons (This is a dill-celery yogurt sauce, and a good way to add some punch to your meal)
* I got all three of these at Costco and combine them for a filling lunch wrap with bell pepers and lettuce or spring mix... 3 POINT lunch... Mmmmmm!
