Great Frozen Treat


Here is a great frozen treat for only 1 point. The GoGurt tubes are only 1 point. Keep them in the freezer and they make a great frozen treat too! (A lot of stores now have their own store brand of tube yogurt - they should be similar in points)

National Chocolate Ice Cream Day


June 7th
Today is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. Ok, go ahead, just have a bit, did you need an excuse? But read this first...

I found a great article on light ice creams available on the market.

Crystal Light - new product


This is a new product from Crystal Light. I like sports drinks, so I wanted to try this. I have not tried this grape flavor, I tried the lemon lime. It's a cool refreshing taste and very light.

It's sweetened with evaporated cane juice, which is a fancy way to say sugar, and with rebiana, which is extracted from the stevia plant. So it's not calorie-free -- a packet has 30 calories instead of 0. Still, it's much better than juice drinks or regular soda. Color in the grape flavor comes from dried purple carrot extract (cool!) and dried hibiscus flower extract. (from www.examiner.com)

Trader Joes Chili Lime Chicken Burgers


Now that's it's grilling season I love these on the grill. They are 3 points per burger. I load them up with toppings like onion, tomato, lettuce and pickles.

Refried Beans


Another side dish to expand your menu is refried beans. The Old El Paso Fat Free are 1 point for a 1/2 cup serving - 6 gms of fiber per serving!
