Ever since I moved form the States to Canada I have been obsessed with finding an alternative to my favorite Greek style yogurt: Fage.  Why they don’t sell it in Canada, I don’t know. Anyway, I think I found something! I love it because it has 20 grams of protein in it! Most yogurts have [...]

We’re still stocking your cupboards and refrigerator with healthy food. Snack are so important! in the heat of hunger we grab what’s easiest. If you have something healthy right beside you- that’s what your going to eat. Plus you’re less likely to get famished because you have emergency snacks where ever you go. Whether it’s [...]

I love finding new food products. It makes me so happy! I know this may sound funny, but I’m always on the look out for snacks that feel like chips.

Would you sit down and eat two or even three chocolate bars in a row? One after the other ? If the answer is no (and I sure hope it is then be very weary of Halloween Candy. These tiny little bit sized sugar filled treats are far from small when it comes to calories [...]

Who Knew ? I was at the grocery store the other day craving ice cream. I browsed the freezer isle reading label after label looking for a satisfying low fat option. Not to mention that I took my time to compare one brand to the next. By the end of my ice cream adventure, I was very cold. [...]

My cousin asked me a while ago what I treat myself with. But before I dive into my treats and cheats, I must say that I’m not perfect. I try to live a certain way, 80% of the time I can swing it! But, just like everyone else,  I’m human. It’s important for me not to [...]

When I crave chocolate, nothing but chocolate is going to satisfy me. I’m very happy I was introduced to Vita Muffins! If you haven’t heard of these already, you’re in for a treat!  They are a great alternative to grabbing a chocolate bar or a piece of cake. They come in a variety of flavors, my favorite of course is deep chocolate. At 100 calories a pop [...]
