A Frozen Treat to Slim Your Waistline

If you're craving a sweet treat, your thoughts probably turn to ice cream. But did you know that just half a cup contains a third of the fat you should eat for the entire day, not to mention unhealthy saturated fat and cholesterol?

Instead, try making your own frozen treat! Freeze 1 cup Greek-style yogurt with 1 tablespoon honey and 2 teaspoons candied ginger for about an hour, until it's slushy. Then top it with 3/4 cup partially thawed frozen mixed berries for a taste sensation that will satisfy. The best part? You'll eliminate all the saturated fat, plus increase your protein and fiber intake, which will help fill you up.
