Product of the Week

 
These are too good to be true!  They taste so good and are not only a great source of fiber, but not they have a protein bar line.  There are other flavors to choose from but this one is my favorite.
 
Try them out!  You won't be disappointed.

Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches

I've posted this recipe a couple years ago, but what better time to post it again.  Spring is here and the warm weather is coming.  This is a super easy recipe that makes a great snack especially on a hot day.  The kids will love them and they are a lot better for them than the ice cream truck.

The two different kinds in the picture below are:  a low-fat cinnamon graham cracker with some natural chunky peanut butter and fat-free cool whip and the other one is a chocolate graham cracker with just some fat-free cool whip.  Just wrap them separately in saran wrap or foil and put them in the freezer.

You can add anything to them instead of peanut butter like nutella, chopped nuts, sprinkles, even sliced fruit.

I have been really craving ice cream lately so this is a much better alternative than Dairy Queen and Rita's.
Have the same craving?  Satisfy it in a healthy way...
