Show us what's behind Diet Snack Curtain #1
Oh my - it's healthy frozen fruit! An entire 20 ounce bag of frozen strawberries contains less than 200 calories. And for any other fruit that you er....pick, caloric content is minimal as long as the fruit isn't sweetened with sugar. The added bonus for frozen fruit and dieters? It takes a long while to eat frozen fruit. In addition, you can add no calorie sweetener if you like your fruit a bit sweeter - for zero calories of course.
I enjoy slicing a banana into thin slices and placing them on wax paper before transporting them to my freezer. About thirty minutes later I have a cold, delicious and satisfying snack for minimal calories. And banana is rich in B-vitamins and potassium.
Did we mention that frozen fruit is packed with vitamins? Let's take a look at the nutritional values for unsweetened strawberries:

Oh my - it's healthy sugar-free gelatin! And what's that little white fluff on top? Why it's a dollop of light whipped topping OR you can use real whipped cream, either homemade or from the can for even less calories. Light whipped cream contains a scant 15 calories per serving and it tastes so rich and lovely in comparison to frozen whipped topping. And it's the 'real' deal, too so your body is able to process it easily.
