If you’re like me, the cravings hit as soon as I get home from work and am ready to crash in front of the television. Instead of having to choose between satisfying your craving or sticking to your healthy ways now you can do both!
Best Health offers some yummy and also diet-friendly snacks:
If you’re craving a Chocolate Triple Shake from McDonald’s go for a Grande Starbucks Banana Chocolate Vivanno smoothie. To make this an even healthier choice, ask them to use only half of the banana and to use skim or soy milk. I promise it tastes just as good!
If you’re craving a homemade peanut butter cookie go for one tablespoonful of peanut butter spread on banana slices.
If you’re about o buy a bag of regular M&Ms buy a bag of Hershey kisses and have 4 and save the rest for your next craving.
If you’re out and want a Tim Horton’s Old-Fashioned Glazed doughnut order a Maple- or Chocolate-Dip doughnut instead…just not everyday.
If you want Ruffles Regular potato chips while watching TV go for Triscuit Thin Crisps instead.
If you need your carbs like a white-bread bagel with butter and jam in the morning go for an English muffin with only jam. You won’t even notice there’s no butter.
Whether it’s scary pudding cups or eyeball cupcakes you need to make something spooky for Halloween.
To be the hit of whichever party you’ll be attending this Halloween check out these recipes.
