When you want a healthy dessert-like snack
– Mix a Kraft 100 Calorie Pack with low fat or fat free yogurt. If you try and eat just one of those packs, you’ll probably end up eating five. This snack is nutritious, sweet and calorie-controlled.

When you want ice cream
-Fudge bars or pudding packs, even the full-fat ones, are less fattening than ice cream! Fudgsicle’s no sugar added pops are only 40 calories each.

When you really want pizza
-Healthy pizza! Half an English muffin or bagel (whole wheat, if you can), some sauce, a little cheese and lots of veggies (I think peppers, zucchini and broccoli are all really good).

Hot cocoa made with skim milk and fat free popcorn. It’s warm and delicious while still being light.
