Holiday snacks laced with trans-fat and simple sugars should be out of the picture by now. But is it necessary to give up all forms of indulgence?
Giving up tasty treats may sound good on paper, but do you really want to live so stringently? Such rigidness is more likely to create a binge down the road than to get you to your goal. Better to anticipate dessert cravings, and prepare accordingly.
Bring some healthy dessert options home with you from the grocery store so that you can be satisfied and stay healthy!
A choice favorite: “the bodybuilders’ dessert,” otherwise known as mixed frozen berries.
Frozen berries are cold like ice cream, tasty like frozen yogurt, and full of anti-oxidants. Enjoy them unthawed after dinner as an alternative to ice cream.
The “bodybuilders’ dessert” can be purchased in the freezer section of your favorite grocery store. At Costco you can pick up four pounds (nearly 15 servings of fruit) for less than eight dollars!
