Tip of the Day:
A Sweet, Creamy Treat That Won't Break the Calorie Bank
Love the rich, creamy taste of pudding? A Southern favorite is banana pudding — a delectable combination of eggs, sugar, and bananas — and sometimes even cookie wafers! How much will something so decadent-sounding set you back in calories? Here are the numbers for the pudding and my just-as-delicious Calorie Bargain:
Banana pudding: 188 (8 oz.)
Fat-free Greek yogurt: 120 (8 oz.)
Greek yogurt is a rich and creamy treat — but unlike the pudding, there's zero fat! And while it's a bit of an acquired taste, especially if you're used to eating artificially flavored yogurt, you'll love it once you get hooked. Add part of a sliced banana or some sliced strawberries, and you've
got a delicious, super-healthy snack. Popular brands include Oikos and Fage — both are under 120 calories but loaded with 15 to 20 grams of protein.
