Best Light Yogurts

Who loves Yogurt???


I am going to cover the best light yogurts I have personally tried and like:

This one is so far my "go-to" yogurt. It has only {45} calories, and 3 CARBS! SO it is CALORIE friendly and CARB friendly. I definitely recommend this one. It is also "Diabetes Friendly" It costs about $2.99 a 4 pack.

This one is a little more sugary, but also good, my favorite flavor for this one is Peach!



What do you think???

Veggie Dips that can turn any veggie hater into a lover:

This dip has turned my vegetable hater boyfriend into a lover of: carrots, cucumbers (with skin), celery, broccoli and more! It is around 3$ and in most grocery stores. It is my top one

THE HEALTH NUT: This veggie dip consist of a Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet and a Greek Yogurt Plain (any brand).
I did not like this one as much but my boyfriend did. Greek yogurt is really tart to me but he loved it

5 healthiest cheeses:

Article here


I thought you would all enjoy this article. It's the healthiest cheeses!!! Beware the AMERICAN!

Diet Soda Vs. Regular Soda

I personally think that Diet Soda is way better than regular soda - especially if you moderate your self to having it 2 times a week. yes there are diet chemicals like Aspartame and they have been correlated with Alzheimer's disease but in moderation almost everything is ok. Plus regular soda has as many calories as some cheeseburgers so honestly it's like just adding cellulite and fat to your body! Don't do it! I am posting an article for you to decide yourself the link is below:



FYI: [this is how many calories is in REGULAR Mountain Dew] 




Have a awesome Wednesday! 





P.s. Water is the best drink for your body.
