I was in the dairy isle at my local Safeway and found a light smoothie. Its by Lucerne called simpley ‘Light Smoothie’ I tried it in Peach. It has 190 calories and no fat. Its a nonfat dairy beverage. It was on sale 10 for $10, for a dollar I figured it would make a quick snack. My kids and myself were all starving so I knew Id never hear the end of the complaining if I didnt get something for them for in the car. At first sip I was surprised at how thick it was, basically it was just prestirred yogurt, it was very very sweet. The kids enjoyed it and finished it up. Afterwards I looked at the ingredient list and noticed Chicory Root Extract which is not recommended in pregnancy so I wont be buying this again until after this baby is born.
This ‘light smoothie’ contains 500mg potassium which is 14% daily value, 7 grams of fiber (from the chicory root) which is a whopping 28% of daily value! and 12 grams of protien which is 24% of daily value.
Apparently WalMart carries fat free blueberry muffins! And they are actually really good! Each muffin has 120 calories and no fat. They are light and moist and have lots of berries in them. They are priced at $2.50 for a half dozen. My husband snagged them off the bakery clearance rack for $1.50. He didn’t mean ti grab fat free ones, he didn’t even notice until he brought them home (After eating four of them)
This was a nice treat but really high in sugar. I’m going to look for a low fat or fat free recipe to make myself so I can substitute some of the sugar with splenda.
I got this Lean Gourmet dinner on sale, I think it was under a buck- blech! It boasted angel hair pasta in white whine sauce with shrimp, tomatoes and carrots. It was extreemly bland, the texture of the noodles was okay but there were very few veggies. I guess for a buck or less I shouldnt have expected much. I definatly wont buy it again. It was low fat though, cant deny it ,220 calories and 2.5 calories (~10% calories from fat)
My husband insisted that he needed some ice cream…he almost killed me when he put some reeses peanut butter ice cream in our cart. I veto’d that and he chose something less tempting for me and suggested I pick a ‘light’ ice cream. I looked around a bit, havent been in the ice cream isle in a long time actually….I found one that was fat free! Actually a couple, but the one I settled on was Breyers fat free french chocolate. Half a cup is 90 calories and has 0 grams of fat! Its actually really good. I didnt have super high expectations, I did the low carb thing way back before it got really popular and remember the horrible ‘low carb’ ice cream they had out at the time. I was really impressed with this. It has a nice smooth creamy texture and a great chocolatey taste. I measured out exactly the serving size and it was pretty satisfying. Im the type who can sit down and polish off a disgusting amount of ice cream so either Ive changed a ton in the past months or this is just a really good ice cream. Next Ill be in search of a good fat free strawberry ice cream. Yum!
YUM! Did you know Angel Food Cake is fat free? I hadnt had it in ages but it was served as part of strawberry shortcake at a friends house the other day. Angel food cake with strawberries and fat free whipped topping- it was SO good! What a nice summer treat to be able to indulge in occasionally!
