The SKINNY on the NEW SKINNY

The SKINNYon the NEW SKINNY

Standing in line at the grocery store can sometimes be stressful and tempting when it comes to the candy and chocolates displayed near by ( just my personal opinion). But my last trip to the store was a little less complicated with the help of Skinny Cow!

Their new chocolates have all the flavor and less calories
than the other chocolate treats.

My kids were thrilled when I told them they could get a treat at the check-out( usually I am a total stick in the mud when it comes to the candy aisle). Just ask my kids they would agree 100%! So here it is the new breed of chocolate treats. I really thought that Skinny could not top them elves with their splendid varieties of ice cream treats! But O they did ( yeah)!





These are the treats you are familiar with in the freezer section!

Go Bananas!

2009 08 19 IceCream02 One Ingredient Ice Cream {Bananas}  Yes you heard me right! Now we can all go Bananas for YONANAS! Have you heard the buzz around town?There is a NEW product that magically makes ice cream out of bananas! I am serious! Your kids are going to love this! Now you can give them a healthy frozen treat anytime their little hearts desire.Check out the site http://yonanas.com/

Healthy New Trend In Frozen Treats
Yonanas Soft Serve Maker
The BUZZ:The Yonanas Maker is a revolutionary new kitchen appliance that takes frozen fruits and vegetables – such as ripe bananas, mangos, peaches, coconut, pumpkin, and strawberries – and creates a creamy frozen treat that looks, tastes, and feels just like soft-serve ice cream.
A major benefit of this new frozen treat-maker is that fruits and vegetables are waist-friendly, low calorie and loaded with nutrients and vitamins. Anyone can make this delicious summer snack in minutes from the convenience of their own kitchen.

Go to fullsize image It turns out that over ripe bananas
with brown spots are more useful than I thought!
( I guess my mom was right, Brown Bananas are good for something other than the trash can!)

Here is how to make your one ingredient Healthy Ice Creamy treat...
                                      
 •Peel your bananas first.
• Cut them into small pieces.
• Freeze for just 1-2 hours on a plate.
• Blend, blend, blend - scraping down the bowl when they stick.
• Enjoy the magic moment when they turn into ice cream!

Love my Dip

Roasted Garlic Veggie Dip
Just found a fabulous new dip!
Great with veggies!
Low calorie and made with Greek yogurt!
Have you tried it yet?
Go to fullsize image
Tip: Stay away from the traditional veggie dips
they can be high in calories and not very healthy!
Instead make your own.
Take plain Greek yogurt and add a ranch seasoning packet
or use hummus and salsa!
This way you can feel good about your veggies!
