Crystal Light Popsicles

(Sorry for the delayed post! I have been out of town for 2 weeks and things have been crazy!)

Have you had the new Crystal Light Popsicles? They are so good and refreshing and satisfy your sweet tooth!
They only have 15 calories each and 0 grams of fat!

Smoothie

With the hot weather fast approaching sometimes you don't want a heavy meal. This is a smoothie recipe I made up and its great, nutritious, and will keep you satisfied!

Serves 2 (or put the other half in the fridge for later)

1 Cup Frozen Strawberries
1 Cup Skim Milk
1/2 Cup Frozen Blueberries
1/2 Cup Vanilla Yogurt (I use Light and Fit Brand)
1 Banana

Put the Strawberries in the blender with the milk. Blend. Then add the blueberries and yogurt. Blend. Add the banana and blend. Quick and simple!
Try it with other frozen fruit! I have used peaches in it also!

Laughing Cow Light

Have you had these great cheese wedges? There are several different flavors. My favorite is the Light Swiss or the Light Garlic and Herb. They are only 35 calories each and one point! Goes great with apples for a healthy snack!

Vitalicious!

I had heard of VitaMuffins and VitaTops for a while but I recently saw them at Target Superstore and decided to try them. They are wonderful! After that I got on the website and I purchased the "Chocolate Sampler!" Amazing! It includes several different chocolate VitaTops and my favorite the VitaBrownies! YUM!

Check out the website for the many varieties!

Cuties!

Cuties are a cross between an orange and mandarin. They are a great healthy snack and satisfy my sweet tooth. They are easy to peel and have no seeds! For 2 cuties they have 80 calories, 0.5g fat, and 4g of fiber!

Mix My Granola

I am really excited about this post today. I came across this website and I am really mad I didn't think of this company! I love the idea! I haven't tasted it yet but I can't imagine that it will be bad.

Check out the website:
www.mixmygranola.com

Also notice it gives the nutrition information for each product (if you click "more info.") There are so many healthy nut, fruit, and "other" items you can add. Once you add them, you can click and get the nutrition info on your personal mix. Also, check out the Pre-Mixes! These sound great in case you get a little overwhelmed creating your own!

Enjoy!

Aunt Julie's Salsa!

When I was home last weekend I had the best salsa that my aunt Julie made. It is so good and so low calorie. Great to use as a healthy snack with baked tortilla chips or use instead of salad dressing on salads!

Here is the recipe:
In a food processor put a whole onion, bunch of fresh cilantro (pull leaves from stems and discard stems ) and chop to desired consistency. Add a clove or 2 of chopped garlic.

Remove from processor and add 2 cans of rotel tomatoes (I use the ones with cilantro and lime juice added) and 2 cans of diced tomatoes (I use the ones with diced chili's.) When I process these I usually leave them a little chunky.

Add juice of 2 limes and salt to taste.

YUM!
