Tasty Treats

Our Team Trainer Nikki sent us an email giving a few tasty treats for when you need those sweet, salty, comfort snacks. I thought I'd share them with you...

Snack Attacks come – hunger, cravings and habits have the ability to
ambush the effort and discipline we establish during our daily
workouts. Here are my Top 5ive Fave Snacks around 200 calories that
will curb cravings without sabotaging goals:

1) Sweet Indulgence – Tall Starbuck’s Non Fat White Chocolate Mocha No
Whip – 230 calories of warm and fuzzies

2) Cool Runner – Skinny Cow Low Fat Mint Ice Cream Sandwich – 140
calories. Just enough to fight the tempation to eat a whole box of
Junior Mints.

3) Movie Night – 3 cups Smart Pop Microwave Popcorn, 2 TB parmesan, ½
tsp garlic salt – 150 calories of salty goodness.


4) Brown Bag It – Medium Apple and String Cheese – 175 calories to
fill and satiate at school or work.

5) Comfort Calls - Apex Oatmeal Raisin Fit Bar and a cup of Chamomile
Tea – 225 calories of calming comfort to end the day.

  1. yum, those skinny cow desserts are great! i love the popcorn idea, hadn't thought of that one. a couple of other good salty fix ideas are ranch flavored mini rice cakes (1 ww point per 9 cakes) and crispy asian rice snacks, in the international food aisle at stater bros. 2 ww points for 1/2 cup and they're nice and tiny, so take a long time to eat :)

  2. OMG Heather,

    I just got home from coldstone and FYI the sinless smoothies are ALL 300 calories and under (EVEN FOR THE BIGGEST SIZE). I got the smallest size of citris sensation (which is dang good) and it seems like a medium size to me. It is only 190 calories. This would be a great treat in the summer when people want to go get ice cream. :) Just wanted to let you know!

    Here is the nutrition info for the smoothies...the lifestyle ones are definitely higher.... up to 600. I would stick with to the sinless ones and even if u got the ginormous size its not any more than 300 calories. The small size is between 110 and 240 depending on the type.
