A Sweet Twist to Healthy Snacks

When you’re in the mood for a sweet treat try making it a little healthier, so that doesn’t mean pig out on ice cream or cookies. I’m not telling you to give up ice cream forever, just try to moderate what you eat. Remember you are going to have this body forever and it is best to take care of it now.

Instead of: Artificial flavored popsicles that, truthfully, don’t taste that great and have a lot of sugar in them.

Try: Frozen fruit such as grapes or bananas. They taste great and are a nice cold treat.
